"The accessibility is what really brought me in. It’s very, very, very cost effective for our small business – that’s what really did it for me. Factoring that and it’s user friendliness is how I made my decision. This is so much easier than trying to track people down."
"7shifts is an online employee scheduling software system designed for shift workers operating in the restaurant industry. The solution allows employees to check their upcoming shifts, scheduled availability and time-off requests from the 7shifts home screen using a mobile app. If a worker is unexpectedly unable to make it to their assigned shift, the app allows employees to offer their shifts to other workers who are available, who can then bid on that shift. The unavailable employee can then reassign their shift to another worker with a single click. If an employee’s availability changes, they can make a note within the app, which managers can then view and approve. Workers can even request time off, and managers can view and approve these requests from their own mobile device."
"Always fast to respond if I have a question, always making improvements to an already very nice product. Definitely a tool that I would never want to be without! Saves so very much time and headache."
“In the restaurant business percentages are everything—keeping everything controlled and efficient is the difference between making money and not making money. 7shifts can keep you in line with your labor percentage so that your labor costs won't have those big spikes. We all know there's a million things to do in a day but if you can find a way to keep your labor consistent, it allows you to focus on many other things.”
“7shifts has made the life of running a business incredibly simple, incredibly easy, and efficient. And it makes [scheduling] user-friendly to where anyone from a grown adult, to a 16-year-old kid, is able to operate and use it, and understand what they're doing within the system. It makes it user-friendly, easy, fast, and my favorite tool that we use at Clean Juice.”
"7shifts has helped us with our labor targets a lot. It’s been something we had to improve on as a company. 7shifts does a great job of giving us better eyes on our labor targets with the Budget tool that’s built-in. Several of our operations are using it, as forecasting itself takes time and trainings."
"Scheduling MADE EASY! 7shifts has made scheduling easier on us and our staff. We have 50+ employees at our restaurant, and it used to be difficult looking up everyone's availability and time off. Now with just a mouse click everything you need to know about each individuals availability and time off is at your fingertips. It saves our management team so much time!"
"I used to spend over three hours every week making a schedule for my restaurant. Manually having to go through everyone’s written request and updated availability bogged down the process before ever really getting started. We got a free trial with 7shifts and I was a little skeptical. We had tried other software-based scheduling apps before but nothing seemed to flow and fit within the needs of our store. But when I finally started with 7shifts I was pleasantly surprised. The setup was easy and I was immediately stunned by the fluidity and ease that I found in getting started. Before I knew it, I was able to go from over three hours to make my schedules to now being able to do it in under 90 minutes. The employees LOVE it too! I highly recommend 7shifts to any restaurant manager. Give it a shot and you’ll see what I’m talking about."
"Watching our sales correspond with the labour reports from 7shifts has been a game changer. The mobile app makes it so easy to see as an owner where you need your staffing levels to be each day, but it also records history so you can go back and see what your sales and labour with even a weather report from a year ago that day."
"The ability to read reports and easily get data on a daily basis really has helped with making smart business decisions. Overall, it has made our scheduling much easier and intuitive to use."
"Look for successful brands to continue investing in their people as the ultimate differentiator in the marketplace."
"My schedule writing days are over but I still use the app to get daily recaps from all of my restaurants on the flow of service, 86'd items, sales, and employee progress. With the Manager Log book you can customize each section, add as many areas or as few as you want Or search an employees name for an easy way to find feedback for quarterly evaluations."
"A major pro is the support staff! When we want the software to do something for us, expert support is only a phone call away. CSR has been amazing at helping us merge accounts and track labor/sales goals."
"This software has made my life so much easier. I am one of a few out there that enjoys building schedules and overthinks every single aspect of it. With that being said, I spent hours analyzing all the details of each individuals schedules and pride myself for never missing request off. 7shifts has made the process a lot simpler, faster and efficient and saved me at least 3 hours a week."
"Life saving experience. With 7shifts, your schedule is easily accessible. You do not have to worry about not being at work to see your schedule or forgetting because it reminds you. Also, it allows people to bit their shifts if they have a situation coming up. I like the fact that it is accessible on mobile so you don't have to necessarily be on a computer. time management for employee is the most important problem 7Shift solves. For managers, it's shows you who put their availabilities and if they don't, it shows to managers to ask them. Also it allows to have a global view of the schedule and what changed should me made."
