POS Integration Partners

7shifts integrates with a wide range of POS systems to connect sales and labor data in one place. By linking a POS system to 7shifts, restaurants can track performance, improve forecasting accuracy, and reduce manual data entry. A POS integration helps manage restaurant operations by syncing essential data points between systems. Depending on the provider, an integration typically supports the following functions:

  • Actual Sales Sync: This pulls real-time or daily sales into 7shifts.
  • Actual Labor Sync: This syncs worked hours for reporting and payroll preparation.
  • Employee Sync: This matches POS employees to 7shifts employee profiles.
  • Wage Sync: This imports wage rates from the POS system to 7shifts.
  • Tip Data Sync: This pulls tip data for reporting and tip pooling.

Things to know


Important: Specific feature support, such as wage or tip syncing, varies depending on the POS provider.

  • Integration capabilities and setup requirements differ by POS system.
  • To explore all the integrations available, head to Apps & Integrations in the web app.

Direct vs. third-party integrations


7shifts offers two methods for connecting a POS system. The type of integration determines how data is exchanged and how support is handled.

Direct POS integrations

A direct integration connects 7shifts straight to your POS system - think of it as a direct line between the two systems. Data flows back and forth automatically through a built-in connection.

The 7shifts Support team can assist with direct integrations, with occasional support from the POS partner.

Third-party POS integrations

A third-party integration (partner-led) connects a POS to 7shifts through an integration partner. Because the partner manages this connection, they are typically responsible for setup requirements and troubleshooting.

For third-party integrations, please contact the integration partner directly for support and troubleshooting, as they manage the connection to 7shifts.

Benefits of connecting a POS to 7shifts


Connecting a POS system allows managers to make informed labor budgeting decisions based on real-time data. This connection provides several operational advantages:

  • Managers can compare scheduled labor against actual labor.
  • 7shifts monitors real-time labor percentages.
  • Manual sales imports are eliminated to ensure more accurate payroll reporting.
  • Forecasting accuracy is improved by using historical sales data.
