The top reasons why restaurants switch from
SLING to 7shifts
Based on feedback from restaurants who have used both platforms, here are the major differences between the two platforms.
Built just for restaurants
Run more efficient and profitable restaurants. Our team management platform is built specifically for the unique needs of restaurant operators and no one else.
Transparent, scalable pricing that makes sense
7shifts pricing is transparent and scalable to suit restaurants of all sizes. Choose your plan and know how much you’re paying every month. There are no setup fees. There are no hidden fees. There are no contracts to be locked into, and you can cancel your 7shifts subscription at any time.
By comparison, SLING has variable per-employee pricing in order to gain access to cost-saving features such as team management and reporting.
Get hands-on, friendly
support whenever you need it
With 7shifts’ unlimited employee support, you can devote more time to growing your business and less time trouble-shooting your team management platform. Our friendly support team is only a chat, email, or phone call away, and is dedicated to helping you resolve your issues fast.
Track your restaurant’s performance, anytime, anywhere
Managers can keep track of real-time sales & labor with our 100% free mobile app for iOS and Android. You’ll be able to make informed business decisions on the go while staying connected to your team.
By comparison, SLING does not allow managers to view actual sales or labor data on the mobile app.
Actively monitor engagement to reduce turnover
With proactive statistics on your employee’s engagement—such as late, no-show, sick, and picked-up shifts—you can stay ahead of your employee’s engagement and nip turnover in the bud. Engagement statistics are displayed in a customizable dashboard so that you can easily identify problems and foster a better work environment.
By comparison, SLING does not track the engagement activities of your team and will only provide feedback directly from employees at the end of shifts.
Access the labor-saving benefits of POS integrations—for free
7shifts provides powerful, free integrations for many of the industry’s leading POS and payroll systems. With over 25 POS partners and over 10 payroll partners, you’ll have the ability to pull in your sales and labor data to help you make better, money-saving scheduling decisions.
SLING currently offers 8 POS partners and does not have any payroll integrations available.
Keep managers in sync with the Manager Log Book
Stay on top of your daily restaurant operations by centralizing your daily notes, files, important shift details, and follow-up tasks. Sales and labor data, engagement statistics, and shift feedback are displayed in the Manager Log Book to help managers work efficiently.
SLING does not offer any communication tools for restaurant managers to document and share information across shifts.
