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.”

I joined this app from a part-time job. I left the job in January and went back this month. I never deleted the app. My manager tried to loop me back in. Unfortunately my email was entered incorrectly. Each time they tried to edit/save my email, it would appear it saved correctly but would revert to the wrong email. I am still not able to see my schedule despite me reinstalling the app mult times.

Hey Sonia, thanks for reaching out to us about this! It sounds like there may be an integration sync causing your email to revert to the incorrect one. Please have the Admin of the Account reach out to us directly about this so we can assist in getting that resolved for you!

We've had our 7Shifts subscription for about 6 months now, and use it for scheduling at our coffee shop. The idea? Love it! The website? Functional and easy to use. This app? Absolute junk as it is. It crashes. Some employees don't get chat notifications despite having notifications enabled. Sometimes, for seemingly no reason at all, when creating a shift, the app will save it in a different time zone. For instance, the shift is 9-1, the app will show it as 10-2. Needs work.

It's gotten worse. Not sure why, but the drop-down to change an assignment snaps back before you can select anything. The notes on availability are so large they block dropping a shift on someone and can't be clicked through. Making rearranging for time off requests a game of operation to find the one spot I can drop the shift. The header/footer are so big that I see more of them on a 15" laptop than I do of the schedule I'm trying to work on. Overall 7shifts is backsliding from 3 years ago.
