If you’ve ever spent your Sunday night trying to figure out who can work the lunch rush, you know that restaurant scheduling is less of a science and more of a headache.

What if your scheduling tool actually helped you grow your business?

Enter 7shifts. Designed specifically for the chaos of the hospitality industry, 7shifts is a comprehensive team management platform that goes far beyond simple calendars. It’s built to help restaurant owners and managers reclaim their time, keep their teams happy, and protect their bottom line.

SpeedLine has partnered with 7shifts to provide a direct integration between SpeedLine Plus and 7shifts, allowing seamless communication of labor and sales data.

Scheduling in Minutes, Not Hours

7shifts’ drag-and-drop builder allows you to create a full weekly schedule in minutes.

• Templates: Replicate your best-performing schedules with one click

• Availability at a Glance: See exactly who is available (and who isn't) before assigning a shift

• Mobile Access: Once published, the schedule is pushed directly to your team’s smartphones

Reduce Labor Costs

Labor is likely your highest controllable expense. 7shifts gives you the visibility to manage it proactively rather than reacting to a bad P&L at the end of the month.

• Labor Budgeting: Set targets based on your sales projections to ensure you aren’t overstaffing during slow hours

• Overtime Alerts: Get notified before an employee hits overtime, allowing you to adjust the schedule on the fly

Supercharge Team Communication

Miscommunication is the fastest way to lose a great employee. 7shifts acts as your restaurant’s digital communication hub.

• Shift Pool: Let your team swap shifts or claim open spots themselves (subject to manager approval). It empowers them and takes the "find a replacement" task off your plate

• In-App Messaging: Send one-way announcements or start group chats without needing everyone’s personal phone number

• Read Receipts: See exactly who has seen the latest announcement so everyone is accountable

Modern Benefits for a Modern Workforce

In 2026, staying competitive means offering more than just a paycheck. 7shifts includes features that help you retain your best talent:

• Schedule Control: Employees can trade shifts, grab a shift from a shift pool, or offer theirs up when life gets busy

• Tip Pooling: Managers can customize tip pool logic for equitable contribution and distribution, while 7shifts manages the funds based on SpeedLine Terminal labor data

• Tip Transparency: Employees can track their individual tips or tip pool earnings directly in the app, building trust and clarity

• Sick or No-Show Employee Shifts: Managers can seamlessly offer a sick or no-show employee's shift as an Open Shift in the Shift Pool for others to claim. The original shift remains assigned to the absent employee for attendance tracking

• Driver Sharing: Drivers can see locations (stores) from a single account if they are assigned to those locations in their employee profile. 

Compliance Simplified

Labor laws are getting more complex by the day. 7shifts helps you stay compliant with built-in tools for break tracking, "Right to Rest" requirements, and Fair Work Week regulations. It’s like having a tiny compliance officer in your pocket.

Data-Driven Scheduling

The SpeedLine and 7shifts integration eliminates the guesswork. By syncing your SpeedLine Plus sales data directly into 7shifts, you can now manage your workforce with surgical precision.

Here is what this partnership means for your bottom line:

• Sales-Based Forecasting: Use your actual SpeedLine Plus sales history to predict future staffing needs. 7shifts uses this data to suggest the optimal number of staff for any shift

• Real-Time Labor Tracking: Monitor your labor-to-sales percentage as it happens. If sales are lower than projected, you can make the call to send staff home early before the labor cost eats your profit

• Simplified Payroll: Clock-in and Clock-out data from Terminal flows seamlessly into 7shifts, reducing manual entry errors and cutting the time spent on payroll from hours to minutes

• Compliance Made Easy: Stay on the right side of labor laws with built-in tools for break tracking and overtime alerts

A Better Experience for Your Team

A happy kitchen is a productive kitchen. With the 7shifts mobile app, your team can view their schedules, swap shifts, and request time off, all from their smartphones. This transparency reduces "no-shows" and keeps your best talent engaged and informed.
