Restaurant HR platform for hiring, training, scheduling, payroll and retention, built for restaurant operators.

About 7shifts

7shifts is a cloud-based HR and team management platform for restaurants. It brings hiring, training, scheduling, payroll and staff retention into one system, replacing several separate tools.

Managers can build schedules, handle shift swaps with approval, and use built-in labour compliance and labour cost tools. Staff use a mobile app to see shifts, chat and receive feedback.

Payroll features include automatic wage and tip calculations, tax filing and earned wage access. The page states that these are offered on the platform, but availability may vary by country.

  • Job posting, applicant tracking and digital onboarding documents
  • Training courses with quizzes and progress tracking
  • Scheduling with demand forecasting and labour compliance
  • Payroll, tip management and earned wage access
  • In-app chat, post-shift feedback and performance insights

The vendor offers a free plan with basic scheduling and communication, plus a 14-day free trial of the Pro plan with no credit card required. It says there are no contracts, with monthly and annual billing.
