How to create and assign Stations in 7shifts

Stations allow you to assign employees to specific areas of your operation while they are assigned to a Role for their shift.

Things To Know


  • Stations can use default numerical naming (Station 1, Station 2) or custom names (Patio, Lounge).

  • Managers and Assistant Managers require the 'Can manage roles' permission to create or edit Stations.
  • Managers can only update Stations for the Locations and Departments assigned to their user profile.
  • Access to the Stations feature may depend on your current 7shifts subscription plan.

Important: If a station is deleted, the action cannot be undone. Existing shifts will remain under the Role but will no longer be assigned to a specific station.
