Love it. I can easily distribute and receive my schedule through the platform and it makes it very easy to communicate with the team!
Pros: Love how easy it is to schedule folks and make adjustments on the fly. Also love how you can communicate with the entire team through it! Its like a group chat meets hr software.
Cons: Feels very basic. It does everything you would want for this to do but nothing more nothing less. Its great for part time work or internships!
Matt S. · Activation Manager · Entertainment · February 24, 2026
Definitely recommend this software for those in the hospitality industry. Great customer support as well.
Pros: This is great scheduling software for someone who works in the hospitality industry. Great for communication and payroll.
Cons: Took a bit of time to get used to the drag and drop options, but once that was figured out it was very easy to curate a schedule.

Pros: 7shifts makes it really easy to manage schedules, time off request, manage labor hours and easily allows you to communicate with all teams.
Cons: I didn't have any issues using 7shifts, sometimes that mobile application wouldn't load but was easily and quickly fixed. I assume it was due to updates.
Andrena T. · Catering Manager · Food & Beverages · February 3, 2026
Works as effectively as it did before with a cleaner interface and additional features to help ensure more accountability and consistency on employee and management end in regards to shifts/schedules/times.
Pros: 7shifts still remains a really simple and easy tool to manage schedules, clock ins/outs, and overall tool for tracking employees and for employees tracking schedules. I really like the new improvements with the scheduled were it is clearly text/colours to see who is working when. The change where you can also see you scheduled and upcoming shifts while clocking in is also a bonus feature. There seem to have been improvements with glitches too, where there is less freezing or errors occurring compared to before.
Cons: No dislikes noted over the 2025 year as upgrades have improved tech issues and errors, and have improved overall efficiency and functionality.
Rachael M. · Server · Food & Beverages · January 18, 2026
All in all, I can say that seven shifts is probably one of the most reliable sources of timekeeping money management when it comes to businesses and they’re very affordable
Pros: The efficiency when it comes to clocking someone’s hours is very reliable. It seems as if this company has mastered the art of getting hours in accurate calculations for payment down to a Science.
Cons: One of the only downsides 27 is that the app sometimes crashes and it’s hard to understand which amount of hours are being calculated and then with American companies they use it. The Canadian time difference is a lot.
Nathaniel W. · Manager · Food & Beverages · January 2, 2026
Overall, the experience has been incredibly positive! All my FOH staff uses it and enjoys it because it is so user friendly and allows them to communicate with me and fellow colleagues with incredible ease!
Pros: I find it to be the most user friendly way to communicate with a variety of employees and make updates in real time. It is effortless and employees are immediately responsive and have implemented using this platform with ease. I am so delighted at how well it has been integrated to our entire organization!
Cons: I genuinely can't think of a single aspect that I don't like or appreciate about the platform. I was worried about everyone implementing it but every employee did so with incredible ease!
Mai M. · Manager · Hospitality · December 29, 2025
overall, great experience. Much easier that texting and missing a response or not being able to keep track of the responses.
Pros: Hi, I really like 7shifts for my waitressing job. Whenever i have a shift that i can trying to get covered, I just post it here.
Cons: there really isn't anything i don't like about it. its easy, efficient, and timely. all things i need for this type of app.
Elizabeth H. · WAITRESS · Restaurants · December 17, 2025
Pros: I liked how it was very easy for associates to submit shift swap requests and for managers to approve them. Same with RTO requests, very easy to use. Additionally, I liked how managers could post announcements and there was also a direct message feature.
Cons: I really can't think of anything I disliked about 7Shifts. I think the app is very user friendly and easy to use!
Anonymous User · Assistant Rooms Operations Manager · Hospitality · December 11, 2025
On a scale of 1-10 about an 8 not a system that is hard to use. Easy to train people and communicate information
Pros: Easy to schedule communicate with employees. Setting up a new employee is very easy as is work area and job .
Cons: Pricing has increased support is less than it has been in prior years. And it has been down frequently
Terry M. · Manager · Restaurants · December 4, 2025
Staff appreciate the ability to easily view their schedules, request time off, and trade or pick up open shifts directly through the app.
Pros: Built-in messaging, group chats, and announcement features streamline team communication, reducing the need for multiple apps, phone calls, and texts.
Cons: Users report occasional performance issues, such as slow loading times, random logouts, and server crashes that can disrupt clocking in.
Cory R. · outside parts sales · Transportation/Trucking/Railroad · December 3, 2025
Pros: It was easy to organize and see where and when my shifts were while maintaining a decent speed when being able to clock in and out for work.
Cons: It was a bit difficult to get 7shifts to be accurate sometimes since the location can sometimes be thrown off, and internet sometimes plays a role but it otherwise is janky.
Anonymous User · Front Desk · Food & Beverages · November 18, 2025
Pros: Super easy to use, easy to pick up open shifts, easy to give hits away, easy to track hours worked and pay per day
Cons: Scheduling display is somewhat hard to use and follow, can be confusing when looking at future schedules

We signed up for 7shifts to manage hospitality rosters but stopped using it months ago. When our old manager left, the subscription kept running unnoticed — and despite not using the product at all, they refused to refund nearly $500 that was auto-charged. Their support response was robotic and dismissive, simply quoting “non-refundable Terms of Service” without any attempt to help or escalate. There’s no transparency, no empathy, and no practical way to get billing issues resolved. To make matters worse, the platform keeps stored credit card details on file even after cancellation unless you explicitly demand they be deleted. For anyone considering this software: be very careful. The billing model feels designed to trap you into recurring charges, and the “support” team seems more interested in hiding behind policy than supporting customers. Save yourself the time and frustration — there are far better, more ethical scheduling tools out there.
Pros: We found the app to be difficult to use and so stopped using after 1 year. They kept billing us even after we cancelled.
Cons: The customer support is appalling. We tried again this year to cancel but they quoted their customer agreement and refused to discuss. It’s all AI robots.
Matthew H. · Winemaker · Food & Beverages · October 30, 2025
7shifts did make reviewing and trading shifts fairly easy for myself and others. While we did not use to platform for much other than shift information, it was very helpful in the aspects in which I used it.
Pros: I liked that 7shifts made it very easy for myself and fellow employees to review and even share shifts.
Cons: There were times that the information was not up to date regarding shift availability that led to some shifts getting mixed up.
Noah M. · Expediter · Restaurants · October 24, 2025
Staff appreciated the convenience and simplicity of the app. The different price points was also helpful to the owners.
Pros: How user friendly it is! Staff can quickly log in and access their schedule, request time off and blocked off dates.
Cons: I really didn't have any cons about using 7Shifts. My restaurant used it mostly for scheduling only.
Rachel T. · Operations and Marketing · Restaurants · October 21, 2025
Working in restaurant is the only experience I’ve had with this app. It worked well enough to get the job done.
Pros: Easy to swap shifts, easy to keep record of shifts and swaps as well as floating shifts for pickup when available.
Cons: A lot of clutter, but generally works well. Wish there was a better shift swapping system for multiple shifts.
Oliver M. · Waiter · Hospitality · October 13, 2025
7shifts keeps my team organized with easy scheduling, but occasional glitches slow things down and can be stressful
Pros: I really like how 7shifts makes scheduling simple and clear. It has great communication and easy shift swaps
Cons: 7shifts works well, but notifications can be delayed and the app sometimes runs a bit slow which makes the experience less enjoyable
Anonymous User · Senior Account Executive · Hospital & Health Care · September 18, 2025
My overall experience with 7 shifts so far has been nothing shy of spectacular. It truly is a great program
Pros: I love the ease and convenience of this system. Everything is right there in your fingertips. I love how easy it is to communicate and navigate the system
Cons: I honestly have no negative opinions about 7 shifts. It is a great platform for employers and employees
Crystal E. · Prep · Food & Beverages · August 30, 2025
Overall 7Shifts is accurate, easy to use, and has an appealing interface. It has minor hiccups, but were easy to overcome.
Pros: A straight forward, and no-fuss workplace app. Let me schedule my staff and set specific notes for special days.
Cons: The app has a habit of logging everyone out, or the servers crashing in general. It would make it difficult or impossible to clock in sometimes.
Curtis S. · Manager on Duty · Retail · June 16, 2025
my overall experience with 7shift was excelente easy to learn everything the app has to offer and use.
Pros: i really enjoyed the fact that u can have other managers schedule and move around people and easy guided.
Cons: sometimes my employess had trouble loading into the app to be able to see there schedule. and that would make it a conflict
Martha L. · executive chef · Restaurants · May 24, 2025
Pros: I thought it was good for making schedules and was relatively easy to set up initially. Notifications were relevant and timely.
Cons: I found it hard to easily navigate an individual's schedule as an employer. Would have been nice to just be able to click on an individual and see their hours worked.
Kurtis P. · Owner · Recreational Facilities and Services · May 14, 2025
Pros: So great for scheduling purposes and also creating a chat for staff to guarantee shift coverage
Cons: Sometimes the chat lags, but it is an easy reset in a new browser!
Jackie I. · Events Manager · Restaurants · May 7, 2025
Great experience overall with 7shifts including support.
Pros: Easy to use, clean UI and its feature rich for any business.
Cons: EWA integration could be better and more user friendly.
Brandon M. · Owner · Retail · April 16, 2025
It’s very user friendly for staff and makes dropping or picking up shifts easy for them.
Pros: How easy it is to put shifts up for bid or to bid on open shifts. It’s very user friendly for admin to approve.
Cons: The way the schedule populates as an administrator, it’s very busy and hard to read through.
Heather M. · Healthcare Coordinator · Hospital & Health Care · March 20, 2025
Amazing tool for small businesses. I used this while working as a server in the restaurant industry and was the primary tool for week to week scheduling.
Pros: Allowed for ease of viewing weekly schedules as well as posting and updated time out as well as needs when shifts were needed to be picked up by other workers. Also integrated with iCalendar
Cons: Sometimes felt a bit clunky and as if internal messaging was difficult to use
