Par (Brink) POS

Accurate sales and labor tracking is at your fingertips with the Par POS (formerly Brink POS) integration in 7shifts. This connection automatically syncs sales and time-clocking data to help you make informed business decisions and stay on budget.

Things to Know

• Starting October 1, 2025, Par (Brink) POS introduces a mandatory infrastructure fee of $10/location/month for the 7shifts integration. This fee ensures continued data flow and is charged directly on your 7shifts invoice.
• If you are a Delaget customer, please follow the Delaget integration steps instead.
• Access to certain features may require an upgrade from your current 7shifts plan.

Employee and Role Mapping

Mapping connects users and job titles between Par and 7shifts to ensure labor data flows to the correct profiles. Roles must be mapped for shifts to sync from 7shifts to the Par POS terminal.

1. Head to Apps & Integrations > Mapping > choose the Employees or Roles tab.
2. 7shifts automatically maps roles and employees that have identical names and spacing in both systems. You'll find those under the Matched heading.
3. For Unmatched employees or roles, choose to Match, Ignore, or Add them to 7shifts to ensure data syncs correctly.

See Employee Mapping for universal setup rules and mapping logic.

Actual Sales and Forecasting

Real-time sales data integration is enabled by default upon activation. 7shifts pulls Net sales data from Par to provide a real-time view of your labor costs and generate AI-powered forecasts.

• 7shifts automatically imports up to 90 days of historical sales data from Par upon activation.
• It may take hours for the system to start bringing in your previous sales. If they do not appear initially, please check back in a few hours.
• Both 7shifts and Par POS must be configured with the same time zone and workday hours (5:00 AM to 5:00 AM).
• It takes approximately 1–2 weeks of data collection for initial sales projections to appear.
