7shift is just 7 shift
Comments: it is easy to use but really nothing really service from 7shift
Pros:
easy to see and easy to know what it is but really software is empty
Cons:
It was lot of spaces and not specific details about team members and time management. I really had hard time to scheduling from 7 shift. It is not specific about there working total time and total earning from restaurant
Would be even better with a few improvements, overall still great!
Comments: Overall has been good, easier to use compared to similar platforms, the interface is very natural. It's very affordable, for its basic uses.
Pros:
Love that it integrates with TOAST POS. We use schedule enforcement and sales and labor forecasting on the budget tool. It's easy to use and the app for employees is straightforward. The functions are basic but important without any fluff...Nothing is hard to find.
Cons:
Customer service has really gone downhill in the last 5 years. Also they have only 2 management tiers (manager and assistant manager) and "managers" can't modify other mangers, so you have to have admins in each location and reach out to support to add and remove admins. I have suggested to them they should create a super admin position, but no avail.

It has been a great tool for team management and scheduling of tasks. It helps to effectively communicate with the team. It comes with a user-friendly interface, making it very useful for both managers and employees. Pricing of the software is also quite competitive.

Customer support can be improved a bit. Sometimes, there comes a lag while updating the task progress. Otherwise, it is a good tool
A great option for scheduling

The rates need to be changed in both this system and toast to give accurate reporting
I recommend 7shifts.
Comments: I used 7shifts when I worked part-time at a restaurant. It was very easy to use and none of my colleagues and I complained about the service.

Very user friendly, efficient for what I needed in a scheduling platform.

7 Shifts is a critical part of my job and makes it easier
Comments: I am very impressed with how easy it is to use and all of the features it has. I makes scheduling pretty manageable. It is great for the team to use for trades and communication.
Pros:
I like how easy it is to put together the schedule for our team. team. It is great that they can use the app for communication, trades and keeping track of their schedule. They seem to like it as well and make good use of it. I cannot imagine my job without it.
Cons:
I don't like that I cannot set it to see a whole weekend on one screen. It would help so much if I could see Thursday - Sunday in one screen. I hate how the start end times cannot be set by me. They change randomly to times I need just once in a while, if I don't notice that it chose a different time it is a mess. I would like shift times set by me but a function so I can change it for on off situations.

Great user friendly software
Comments: I used it for years because the company I worked for scheduled our shifts on it. It was so easy to pick up shifts or trade them with other coworkers if I needed to. I liked it and was sad when I changed jobs and no longer got to use 7shifts for my scheduling.
Pros:
Being able to pick my own schedules each week and it was easy to do. Very user friendly to add, drop, and trade shifts.
Cons:
I had no problems with it, so there are no cons for me.
7 Shifts is a great scheduling tool, easy to use!
Comments: I've really enjoyed using this app. Out of all the apps we use for running our restaurant it is the one I've never had an issue with. Easy to use and our staff really enjoy it as well. Also easy to navigate from desktop to app.
Pros:
7 shifts make scheduling super easy! As a small restaurant with a small team I enjoy the template function that they have for you to use when scheduling week to week. It allows you to use the same schedule from the week before (or any week) to use for that weeks schedule. We have set schedules so this works well for us and makes scheduling super easy! Additionally the announcements and direct messaging features of 7shifts allows us to get important information to our team quickly.
Cons:
Sometimes it feels like the interface is a little busy for my liking but other than that I haven't had any issues with the app.

Great app for scheduling
Comments: Overall, I think 7shifts is a great software for scheduling and payroll.
Pros:
It is very easy to check individual schedule and the whole staff schedule. Swapping shift is easy as well. Booking time off also easy.
Cons:
There is nothing I dislike from the 7 shift app.

workable scheduling app
Pros:
Easy to maintain a schedule and put a shift up for grabs. You can track your hours and see who you are working with. I like that it automatically tells you the manager on duty and the ability to message them directly. I like that feature where you can give a shout out I think that is different and unique. I like the ability to look up anyone in 7shifts and message them directly or create a group message.
Cons:
I think maybe the layout could use some improvement

Best App For Shift Work!
Comments: I love using 7shifts for checking my work schedule and keeping track of my shifts. It's so easy to see my schedule as well as events that are happening on my work days. The chat function is also great because I can send private messages or a group message to other people to see if they'd like to switch shifts. Gone are the days of email attachments with work schedules. I'm so happy that my workplace uses 7shifts!
Pros:
All the information I need to know for my work shifts is in one place: days I'm working, who I'm working with and special work events happening that day. It's easy to contact people to switch shifts because I know who is and isn't working on specific days.
Cons:
There isn't really anything I don't like about 7shifts as it gives me all the information I need for my weekly schedule in one place.
