What 7shifts covers for restaurant teams

7shifts: Employee Scheduling is the mobile side of a team management platform built for restaurants. The listing says one account covers scheduling, time clocking, team communication, labor compliance, payroll, and tip pooling and payment. It is written for owners, managers and employees, but the features it lists are mostly the manager's tools.

The listing says the mobile app is free for teams to use as part of their restaurant's 7shifts subscription.

Building schedules and handling shift changes

A manager builds the schedule in the app, and time off and staff availability are added to it automatically. Once a shift is set, staff are notified by email, text or push notification.

Managers can approve or deny shift trades between employees and time-off requests from the same place. Both actions sit alongside the schedule itself, so a swap is checked against the shifts it changes.

Tracking availability, lates and no-shows

The app records when each employee is available to work, which lets a manager see who can cover a shift before building it. It also logs lates and no-shows per person.

Those records give a manager a running history for each employee rather than a single shift's outcome.

Messaging staff and posting team announcements

Managers can chat with individual staff members or post announcements to the whole team. Both use the same app as the schedule, so shift changes and messages live in one place.

The listing does not describe how staff reply or whether announcements can be targeted to a subset of the team.

Watching overtime risk and labor cost

The app sends overtime alerts when a staff member is at risk of going into overtime, so a manager can change the schedule before the hours are worked. Real-time sales and labor figures are shown alongside the schedule, which the listing presents as a way to cut labor cost.

Together these features let a manager compare what is scheduled against what the restaurant is selling as the week runs.

What's new

Fixed:
- Employee notifications now open the right place when tapped, so important training updates don’t get lost in the shuffle.
- Offering up a shift no longer sends employees on an unwanted detour to connect a POS.
