Take it from our customers:
“If you're a restaurant professional, this is a mandate. If this is a hobby for you, by all means, use something else. Use Excel, use post-it notes if you write it down. But if you're a professional and this is your career and your actual goal is to earn profit for your business, then there's no viable solution or anything that would make sense other than this, there just isn't."

“Communication in this business is everything. 7shifts has saved the day and made it possible for me to get through that first opening, and I continue to use 7shifts to open my other restaurants and it’s the one consistent thing that keeps us together.”
