Two-Step Verification - Update

Two-Step Verification (MFA) now supports Email and Authenticator apps alongside Text message (SMS) to ensure your team always has a reliable way to securely access 7shifts. Adding multiple verification methods eliminates login delays caused by poor cellular service or carrier issues, keeping your restaurant operations running smoothly.

• 

  Add email or authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or Authy as additional options to receive your security codes.

• Choose your preferred verification method from a quick prompt whenever you receive a security challenge.
• Manage and add Two-Step Verification settings on the web platform by navigating to Settings > My Account > Two-Step Verification.
• Update your mobile app security settings by navigating to My Account > Login & Security > Two-factor Authentication.

Custom Shift Flags

Custom Shift Flags allow you to track attendance and schedule updates using categories tailored to your unique restaurant operations. Admins and Managers with scheduling permissions can now create, edit, and delete company-wide flags directly from the web or mobile schedule. This ensures your attendance records match your actual day-to-day business needs.

• Create names up to 30 characters long and choose from a 20-color palette to customize your shift tracking.
• Apply and manage these flags seamlessly across both desktop and mobile versions of the Schedule.
• Track these custom designations automatically within your Worked Hours & Wages and Scheduled Hours & Wages reports.
• Custom Shift Flags are created at a company level, making them immediately available across all of your restaurant locations.

Schedule Layouts

The updated Schedule layout selector makes it easier for you to discover and switch between different schedule views on the web. You can now quickly identify your current layout by its clear label in the top right corner of the schedule and explore alternative views using enhanced dropdown descriptions.

• Review visual card previews and clear descriptions in the dropdown menu before changing your view.
• Toggle the default view, now officially labeled Default view, to see all employees organized by their assigned roles.
• Choose between distinct Day and Week options, such as sorting shifts chronologically by start time or grouping them by time-of-day windows.
• Access your existing toggle preferences for displaying birthdays, work anniversaries, and the labor budget tool right from the bottom of the same dropdown menu.

Inactive Employee Visibility Update

We’ve updated the employee directory to provide a more complete view of historical employee records. As part of this update, all inactive employee profiles will now appear in the Inactive Employees tab, including older profiles that were deactivated before Inactivation Reasons became a required field.

• You may notice an increase in your inactive employee count as these historical profiles are now included.
• For profiles deactivated before inactivation reasons were required, the fields may appear blank.
• These records are preserved for historical accuracy; these specific blank fields cannot be retroactively updated.

Qualified Overtime Reporting

The new Qualified Overtime Reporting feature helps US restaurant operators easily track tax-deductible overtime premiums to comply with the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). This update ensures that your account automatically isolates weekly federal overtime premiums exceeding 40 hours, providing the specific period and year-to-date totals required for employee tax reporting.

• You can now view individual pay period totals and year-to-date figures directly inside the Worked Hours & Wages report by selecting the new Include Qualified Overtime checkbox.
• You can also monitor these totals from the Labor Summary tab within your Time Clocking Pay Periods page by adjusting your column display controls.
• Your account automatically backfills all qualified data to January 1, 2026, so no manual calculations are required for historical tracking.

Web Navigation Update

The updated web navigation menu streamlines how you access key tools and refreshes your sidebar with clearer labels and redesigned icons. To keep your navigation clean and direct, Apps & Integrations has been shortened to Integrations, and Tip Management is now simply Tips. These visual improvements match the upcoming mobile update, ensuring a consistent experience whether you manage your restaurant from a computer or on the go.

• The Team, Hiring, Tasks, Log Book, Tips, and Reports pages feature updated icons for better visibility.

• Navigation settings and layouts remain exactly where you expect them to keep your daily routines fast and simple.
