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.

Pros

Streamlined, easy to use & goes above & beyond, great for coffee shops, restaurants. They have thought of everything!

Cons

Nothing it a great platform where I can do everything I need in one place

Reasons for Switching to 7shifts

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

Pros

Simplicity of use, and many features for communication across multiplications.

Cons

I wish 7Shifts had an internal translated where groups can easily communicate back and forth between English and Spanish without having to copy paste to an external translator. Simply, a ‘see translation’ button would be amazing as many restaurants have language barrier holding back employees from understanding announcements and SoP’s.

Reasons for Switching to 7shifts

Pros

I like that I can see literally everything work related right at my fingertips.

Cons

It’s VERY glitchy and will frequently log you out randomly.

Pros

I love the complexity and and the functionality of the software, it is not only about schedules but also about organization and optimization.

Cons

Nothing to criticize until now, i am just figuring out new functions and how to keep operating it.

Pros

The easy to use design. It is not at all difficult to navigate.

Cons

I sometimes get logged out and have trouble logging back in.

Pros

How easy it is to set up and use, and how reliable it is as a way to capture employee clock ins and to track work times for employees.

Cons

No dislikes as it functioned reliably and was easy to track work times and to look back on.

Pros

East to navigate, swapping shifts was easy as well as requesting time off

Cons

Didn’t synch with my calendar at times, wouldn’t give me the option to do so

Pros

Very useful software with cool features to help you organise stuff

Cons

A bit outdated layout and interface, but still cool

Pros

From the ease of publishing weekly schedules to employees being responsible for covering their own shifts when needed or scheduling their own time off and/or sick pay is a game changer. No more manual processes. I especially love the messaging system. I can blast the entire company or certain teams or just the employee when needed. It tracks conversations and allows employees to answer. No need for multiple apps...

Cons

I really cannot think of a single thing.

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.

Pros

The software works well for scheduling, time off requests & approvals.

Cons

The availability doesn't allow for every other week. Manys employees have split households & need every other week availability based on custody schedules. We have recommended this enhancement multiple times, however we haven't seen any movement with this. In addition, the shift pool notifications don't always work & a resolution hasn't been reached on this. This is critical for our business & getting shifts covered.

Pros

I really like the communication aspect, as well as the opportunity to give employees independence in arranging their schedule with “time off” and “availability”

Cons

It is sometimes slow and lagging, which makes it difficult to communicate with employees at times.

Pros

7shifts is very user friendly and easy to use.

Cons

There are ocasional lags and issues with the messageing function but they are usually fixed fairly timely.

Pros

Ease of use. Very simple to create schedules and send to the team

Cons

Doesn’t always update in real time for clocked in team members

Pros

User friendly. Cost effective - you can have a plan with only the things you need and add on additional services as needed. Effective for communication

Cons

Employees need to remember to update the app often to keep the notifications coming and repair other glitches.

Pros

7 Shifts does a fantastic job of creating an easy space for communication, scheduling, and employee accountability.

Cons

Some of the payroll and tip pooling functions can be a bit limited for us.

Pros

Ease of use, employee accessibility, real time sales update

Cons

EMPLOYEE SORTING BY FIRST NAME! EMPLOYEE SORTING BY FIRST NAME!!!

Pros

You can have acces of everything, you can make changes in only one click

Cons

Nothing, I really like the app helps a lot.

Pros

Ease of use between desktop and mobile, with the features I need in running a cocktail bar.

Cons

The events feature, which I use heavily can be a little glitchy.

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.

Pros

I love how easy it is for me to check my schedule, update my availability, put in time off requests and communicate with team members. It’s super easy for our team to stay connected.

Cons

I don’t like that it will log me off randomly, since it is something that I use every day. I also don’t like that the hours tracker has just stopped working. It was a great way to track my finances and budget.

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

Pros

Slows of writing an accurate schedule and the fact that it integrates with toast POS

Cons

No negatives at this time, if I could see front of the house labor broken out from the back of the house labor so I can monitor the numbers individually would be most important
