Best App For Shift Work!

I love using 7shifts for checking my work schedule and keeping track of my shifts. It's so easy to see my schedule as well as events that are happening on my work days. The chat function is also great because I can send private messages or a group message to other people to see if they'd like to switch shifts. Gone are the days of email attachments with work schedules. I'm so happy that my workplace uses 7shifts!

Pros

All the information I need to know for my work shifts is in one place: days I'm working, who I'm working with and special work events happening that day. It's easy to contact people to switch shifts because I know who is and isn't working on specific days.

Cons

There isn't really anything I don't like about 7shifts as it gives me all the information I need for my weekly schedule in one place.

Great software for multi-unit restaurant operation

Overall, I am happy with 7Shifts. Integrated with our pos and all of our employees are happy with it.

Pros

Simplicity of use, and many features for communication across multiplications.

Cons

I wish 7Shifts had an internal translated where groups can easily communicate back and forth between English and Spanish without having to copy paste to an external translator. Simply, a ‘see translation’ button would be amazing as many restaurants have language barrier holding back employees from understanding announcements and SoP’s.

Not the easiest app to navigate

For my specific job I like seeing all my coworker’s info and weekly shifts though it is difficult to navigate throughout the app and switching shifts.

Pros

View of all your coworkers and work shifts.

Cons

Terrible user design. Not easy to navigate open shifts.

Decent experience, but I'm starting to waiver if I will continue to use it.

Pros

Easy to use, easy for employees to use. It's mobile and I can access it from anywhere, as can our employees

Cons

Lack of sync with Revel POS which makes me hesitant to continue to use it.

Good system but lacks basic budget

I’ve used 7shifts for a number of years. I’ve had no complaints up until the basic need of looking at dollars written to spend and also reporting showing us the difference of what we scheduled versus what we spent in dollars. I don’t need man hours I don’t need certain budget tools that they use. It’s just missing the one number that I can use as an administrator to check how my managers with their schedules.

Pros

The ease of use of using to write schedules and communication.

Cons

I want to know total dollar spend for the written schedule per day. It is lacking that basic function because it has other tools that are supposed to help you. But the tools are very complex and difficult.

It’s name and reputation. And integrated with Toast.
