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.

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.
