Key Takeaways

• Scheduling templates let you predefine shifts, roles, and skill levels for a location or department. Use Fill from template on the Schedule to build shifts based on your team's availability and the requirements you set.
• When you connect your POS system, 7shifts uses your historical sales and seasonal trends to forecast sales and guide staffing for each location.
• Employees can clock in and out with 7punches on a restaurant terminal or their own devices. Geofencing and facial recognition add security, and you can set up overtime alerts and break compliance tracking for each location.
• Operations Overview is an add-on you turn on in your settings. It includes Location Overview, Engage Overview, and Enterprise Overview to compare sales, labor, and employee performance across locations.
• The Log Book lets Admins, Managers, and Assistant Managers record updates in custom categories, such as equipment issues or customer complaints. Managers see the logbook for the locations they're assigned to by default.
• Shift feedback prompts employees to leave feedback at the end of a shift. You turn it on in your location settings and choose the days of the week.
• The Sales vs. Labor dashboard lets you switch between locations to compare actual sales and labor against projections, and you can set a custom date range to spot trends.
• Use reports, including Work Hours and Wages, Weekly Overtime, Scheduled Hours, and Actuals, to monitor labor trends across locations.
• Compliance tools apply overtime and minimum wage settings for your state when you specify your jurisdiction in company settings.
• With 7shifts Payroll, your hours, overtime, and tip credits are already in 7shifts. Employees can view their schedule, clock in and out, and see pay stubs and tax documents in one place.
