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.”

While the app works decently well, getting it integrated onto my Google calendar hans been frustrating. I think that the instructions to do so in the app are outdated. The only other thing is that the app itself could use a dark/ night mode, as it would be easier to glance at for people with sensitive eyes.

Obviously I use this for work. It is essential for me and everyone I work with. I have never had major problems with the app until recently. It won't ever open for me now. I've restarted my phone many times, and have uninstalled and installed the app. Still it won't actually open for me. It's really frustrating as I need this app to see my work schedule and be able to see and send messages to staff.

nice app. only one suggestion. I usually schedule my crew via the phone app. My employee's schedule rarely changes. Through the app, I have to schedule each week from scratch. only if there was a copy and paste option within the app. I know the copy and paste is an option on a desktop, but I rarely have time to work on a laptop. Please consider integrating this copy with the app. Thank you
