"Lots of great features. Helps managers stay connected as well as all employees. No more slips of paper with requests for days off. It's all submitted and approved through the app. We are also able to block days that we don't want anyone to take off. 7shifts also is integrated with our POS Toast. They continue to develop more and more features"
