"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."
"As long as you put in the initial hours to program 7shifts, then you will save yourself so much time in the long run. We are now a more cohesive restaurant because of the way 7shifts has allowed us to communicate with each other. It's like a group Facebook page. We call each other out, post postive reviews for everyone to see and everyone is up-to-date with what is happening within the restaurant."
"7shifts has completely changed the efficiency of my businesses and changed the way I personally spend time managing employees. It's even allowed me to identify key shifts and figure out the exact hours when I need to have certain roles arrive for work."
"The shift Pool for employees is an easy tool to minimize my involvement in shift trades. I can simply choose to approve or deny."
"Thus far we've been very pleased with the features and ability to customize. It's been a very smooth transition from our previous scheduling program."
"It is easy to use. Has the small feel for a small business, but does all the things a big business needs too!"
"We tried your software around 6 months ago and have enjoyed it functions. It is easy to use and we were able to put 7 restaurants near the system."
"My employees love that they can check the schedule whenever and wherever they are from their phones. I like that it notifies each employee an hour before their shift and I don't have to worry about "forgotten" shifts. I will definitely continue to work with 7 shifts."
"I like building a schedule in as little as an hour, and then being able to communicate the schedule with my team prior to posting it."
"After the first week of scheduling, I knew that I'd do anything to convince my boss to keep using 7shifts. It takes the headache out of time off requests, availability and scheduling, by keeping everything in the same place and with an attractive and easy-to-use interface."
“Everyone around me helps me to be better. I’m surrounded by very smart people – I don’t need bodies, I need people with character. I take pride in what I do."
“I can understand everything the managers and team members are going through because I’ve been in their roles. I do all the hiring and training, health and safety, and food safety for all 10 stores.”
“I’m here to tell you what an awesome job you’re doing, and I’m really proud of you, and I love the results you’re creating.”
“We have to open up a poutine place, Saskatoon is missing this."
“Scheduling employees is tricky, especially with the higher turnaround of the service industry. 7shifts is a great labor cost control and communication tool. It allows us to find replacements and react to unexpected changes with immediate updates to our employees. With 7shifts, we’ve become much more streamlined in scheduling and can use our valuable time elsewhere.”
