About

7shifts is a Saskatoon-based restaurant workforce management company that provides scheduling, time clocking, team communication, and labor cost management tools designed specifically for restaurant operators. The platform accounts for the unique scheduling complexity of restaurants: tipped and non-tipped wage categories, variable labor laws by state and city, coverage requirements by role and daypart, and last-minute shift swaps. Managers create schedules based on projected sales and labor targets, and employees receive schedules, pick up shifts, and communicate through the 7shifts mobile app. The platform integrates with major restaurant POS systems including Toast, Square, and Lightspeed to import actual versus scheduled labor data for real-time cost monitoring. 7shifts serves over 50,000 restaurants from independent operators to multi-unit chains, and processes significant payroll hours annually. Founded in 2014 in Canada, 7shifts raised over $105M from investors including Tom Williams and Enlightened Hospitality Investments. It competes with HotSchedules/Fourth, Homebase, and Deputy in the restaurant labor management market.
