Real restaurants, real results

What restaurateurs like you are saying about 7shifts

"[7shifts] saves you money, and it makes you money. As it’s variable on a weekly basis, labor cost is critical to be obsessed with. It's important to equip your managers with a system to rely on—rather than expecting your managers to do everything. 7shifts is incredibly cheap for the value that it grants. So it's a no brainer to utilize a service like 7shifts."

Hengam, Co-Founder, Mattenga’s Pizzeria

“7shifts has made the life of running a business incredibly simple, incredibly easy, and efficient. Scheduling is always a little bit of a puzzle, but when you add in the simplicity of how you guys make it, it goes from a 10,000-piece puzzle to a 25-piece puzzle.”

Elijah Selent, Field Business Consultant, Clean Juice

“We shoot for a 50% cost of labor for an owner-operated store. And then a 22% cost of labor number for a location that has a manager. What we found is that, with 7shifts, we've been able to consistently hit those numbers just because of the tools that are available. It’s like having the best restaurateur in the world, in your ear all day long.”

Jessie Williams, Director of IT, Main Squeeze

“With 7shifts, I am able to communicate with the entire company via one platform. As the owner of a restaurant chain, this is invaluable, as texting over 200 employees is just not practical. I can also upload training videos, review schedules remotely and make notes, saving the company thousands.”
