Keep in touch with your team
Send real-time messages to your entire café staff, departments or individuals, without requiring anyone to share their private contact info.
Send one-way announcements with read receipts to ensure your most important messages are received.
And make sure staff members feel seen and appreciated with team shout-outs!
Make sure side work gets done
You could hope your staff remembers to refill the front ice bin and check whether the syrups are expired…
Or, you can use 7shifts to assign a trackable task list that they need to check off pre- or post-shift.
Take the guesswork out of shift coverage
Your café needs to be properly staffed for all hours of the day—from the morning pre-work rush, to the evening lull.
When you integrate 7shifts with your POS system, you get the insights you need to staff each shift with the right amount of coverage.
Our POS integration pulls historical data from popular software providers like Toast and Square, giving you 95% accurate sales forecasts so you can get your labor costs in check.
Get back to business
With your labor costs in check, staff engaged, and coffee shop schedule managed, you can focus on the things that matter—serving coffee and growing your business.
Devote more time to retaining your team or adding new café locations; with unlimited employee and location support, 7shifts is here to scale with you all the way.
If you ever need a hand, our support team is only a chat, email, or phone call away.
