👋 Welcome to 7shifts!

We're thrilled to have you on board! This Getting Started guide is specifically designed for Admins (the Account owner) and will lead you through every step of using 7shifts to manage your team and optimize your operations. As an Admin, you have access to higher-level tasks, such as adding staff, adjusting permissions, general account setup and access to advance feature settings.

This is your roadmap for setting up your Account. In this article, we'll cover the basics and provide you with the resources needed to effectively use 7shifts as your labor management platform.

Things to Know

Before getting started, here are a few things you should know:

• 7shifts offers a 14-day trial, for which you can access all 7shifts features. All accounts start on the Works plan, and no credit card is required to get started.
  
  
• When you create a 7shifts Account, you agree to comply with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  
  

• Here’s a quick summary of the key differences between user levels and what you can expect (please note, each restaurant may manage operations differently):
  

  As an Admin, you have full control over the configuring, enabling, and overseeing features at an account-wide level. This includes access control, integrations, and compliance. Admins are the point of contact for any major account changes or issues that require advanced support.
  
  Managers/Assistant Managers focus more on using the tools configured by the Admin to manage daily operations, working closely with staff, and ensuring the use of tasks and policies set by Admins.
