At 7shifts, we’re all about finding new ways for restaurateurs to simplify scheduling, reduce costs, and save time, all while handling employee availability and keeping lines of communication flowing. Put simply: we aim to take the work out of restaurant management.
We strive to build the best apps and online tools for restaurant managers, but we also understand that migrating from paper-and-pen methods to a cloud-based solution isn’t always an immediate option for some restaurants.
We’ve taken that information to heart. We’ve selected five of the most popular 7shifts web and app functions that will help youu calculate labor cost and more! We have transformed the apps into completely customizable Excel spreadsheet templates that can be downloaded and used for FREE.
