The top reasons why restaurants switch from WHEN I WORK to 7shifts​

Based on feedback from restaurants who have used both platforms, here are the major differences between the two platforms.

Transparent, scalable
pricing that makes sense

7shifts pricing is transparent and scalable to suit restaurants of all sizes. There are no setup fees. There are no employee app fees. There are no contracts to be locked into and you can cancel your 7shifts subscription at any time.

Don’t make your staff pay
for an app

Keep your staff engaged and empowered with our 100% free mobile app for iOS and Android where they can manage their schedule, availability, request time off, and receive important announcements.

Actively monitor engagement
to reduce turnover

With proactive statistics on your employee’s engagement—such as lates, no shows, sicks, and picked up shifts—you can stay ahead of your employee’s engagement and nip turnover in the bud. Engagement statistics and shift feedback are displayed in the Manager Log Book and on a customizable dashboard to keep your managers in-sync.

By comparison, WHEN I WORK does not track engagement activities of your team and will only provide feedback directly from employees at the end of shifts.

"This product is awesome! I love how it works with my CAKE point of sale system. The customer service has been nothing but awesome when I have questions. My employees love that they can check the schedule whenever and wherever they are from their phones. I like that it notifies each employee an hour before their shift and I don't have to worry about "forgotten" shifts. I will definitely continue to work with 7shifts!"
