7shifts Software

Beamer’s Coffee Bar

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. Also the 7Punch system has made it real easy for our staff to clock in and out. Keeps it simple and easy to use.

Pros

The integration of 7Shifts labour reports to our POS TouchBistro sales reports has been the perfect marriage.

The interface of 7Shifts software has been easy to understand and use with admin, managers and staff levels.

Cons

Not much to say here because when moving over from another employee staffing company you quickly see the difference and benefits that 7Shifts has to offer you.

So easy to use

I love using this software. It has taken so much stress out of weekly scheduling, and I appreciate the ease of it.

Pros

I hate scheduling, and this app makes it so much easier! Honestly, my favorite feature is probably just the ability to drag and drop!

Cons

The only bad thing I have to say is I can't actually build the schedule from my phone.

Decent for scheduling

Pros

I like how you can post a shift for other people to take which saves time instead of having to ask everyone individually if they want to take a shift.

Cons

I didn’t like the constant email reminders. I’m sure there is a way to turn that off.

Scheduling is a Breeze

Before we signed up for 7shifts, the schedule was so much work. Employees would have to submit time off requests on pieces of paper that would get lost or misplaced. There was no way to keep everything in line and I felt like we spent so much time on the schedule. Now it takes a few minutes a week to do it. Also the employees love it and there's no confusion over when they work.

Pros

Ease of viewing employees availability. We love how we can see our gross payroll. It makes communicating with our employees so much easier.

Cons

I wish that, as the admin, I could work on the schedule via the app.

7 Shifts is a breeze to use

Pros

Being able to put in time-off requests and finding a replacement for a shift on my phone is awesome! No missing paper request forms or hassle. If you get your shift covered, no worries. Schedules are right thêre as well, so you can see who is âvailable.

Cons

Sometimes managers dont notice a request right away if you work for a very large restaurant. Make sure and stay on top of your request.

7shifts Review

Pros

the integration with our POS system and the reports it allows us to run.

Cons

Iike the software overall, I think the job syncing could be done automatically and not manually.

FANTASTIC!!!!

I love my sales girl....Always helpful and patient

Pros

Ease of use and the great support. Why 40 min?

Cons

Nothing... everything works well with my company.

Easy to Use & Functional

Overall, it's simple and easy to use and has great functions.

Pros

Simple and easy to use. You can message staff directly or by job description- so if there is something I specifically need the kitchen to know I can select that particular group. The app is helpful and I can respond to emails with "approved" or "denied" for even quicker responses to shift changes. I also like that there is an events calendar that the staff can see.

Cons

If you're doing the schedule on the app rather than the website, it doesn't show you who has requested time off or who is unavailable to work that day. I also cannot edit the preset shift times on the app.

Great Product

Pros

Easy to use and switching shifts went smoothly.

Cons

At times can be glitchy, but nothings out of the ordinary.

Great app

Overall great experience

Pros

Easy to use, great app, does the job for any industry not just restaurants. Price is good. Overall very satisfied with the app

Cons

Needs more features like fingerprint clock in, emplyee handbook/manual storage for easy access and other small things that will make it an outstanding

I won't use any other platform.

Pros

7shifts is easy to use for both the operators and end users. The team at 7shifts is continually making enhancements to the platform.

Cons

Not having the program integrated with our point of sale system at this time.

Great software, awesome support!

Pros

I love how easy it makes scheduling, especially shift changes. Knowing staff members have their schedules at their fingertips helps keep them accountable, and I love the shift pool function. The support staff is always great, any problems I've encountered or help I've needed has always been addressed promptly.

Cons

I do wish that admins could edit each other's profiles. We recently opened a second location and I was helping them set up their schedules, and it was annoying to have to bug them if I needed to change their roles or locations.

It works.

Working with the app has been awesome. Never had a problem. When something works well you should rarely need support. But there's been a few times I've asked a question on how to do something and they were super responsive and cool.

Pros

Its turn key. When opening a restaurant nothing is turn key. Once you set it up..It works 100% like it's supposed to. Communication/announcements. When there s a problem from the day before I can segment that based on position. No need to hit the FOH with a lesson that's only applicable to the BOH. This allows that.

Cons

Its really hard to find something I don't like. I really have no complaints. But I think a good feature to add: historic sales inputs- for the labor %- to continue the next week automatically.

7 shifts is great

Great experience. Would recommend to anyone

Pros

Ease of use. Great flexibility with employee scheduling options

Cons

All great 0 issues. The only thing I would add is an option to have certain days not able to be taken off once a certain number of employees request

A great value

My overall experience has been very positive. 7 Shifts has allowed me to save several hours a week and be a more effective personnel manager.

Pros

7 Shifts allows me to take a much more strategic approach to scheduling. Before 7 shifts, I managed my schedule manually and most of my mental energy was spent creating the scheduling template and organizing my employee's scheduling requests. With 7 shifts, the template is already created and the employees are in charge of managing their own requests. The end result, I can spend my time scheduling my employees strategically to best meet my anticipated demand at the greatest value.

Cons

The software is such an improvement as compared to what I was dong that I really can't find any faults.

Easy to use

So far it has been great. You can view your shifts, pick up or release shifts into the shift pool, check your time sheet, and see who you are working with that night. Some apps don't allow you to see that or check your time sheet so it is extremely helpful when preparing for a shift.

Pros

I love the notifications when the schedule is posted. I get a text and it gets posted to the app.

Cons

So far I can't find anything I truly dislike about it.

Absolutely necessary for any size business

The setup process was a breeze. Working with reps was such a positive experience. I felt like he was always available to assist me and was always knew the answers to questions immediately.

Pros

7shifts saves me so much time when building my weekly schedule. All the information I need is right at my finger tips and I don’t need to be looking through a request off book. So much less room for error

Cons

no cons that have come up at this point
