Overview
7shifts is a Canadian software brand focused on employee scheduling, labor management, and team collaboration for restaurants. Its products are designed for restaurant owners, managers, and frontline employees, covering tasks such as shift planning, employee availability, shift swapping, time tracking, and internal team communication. Compared with general-purpose human-resources software, 7shifts is positioned around restaurant operating patterns, including location- and shift-based workforce planning and frequent schedule changes. The brand primarily serves customers in the United States and Canada and operates on a software-as-a-service model. Publicly established information is insufficient to reconstruct all stages of its financing, ownership, and business development, so detailed financial information is omitted here.
History
7shifts was founded in Canada in 2014 and initially focused on employee scheduling for restaurants. Restaurant scheduling involves coordinating operating hours, employee availability, staffing requirements, and changing shift arrangements, often across teams or locations. The company developed online tools that allow managers to create and publish schedules while enabling employees to view assignments, submit availability, and request shift changes. Over time, the product scope expanded from scheduling into broader restaurant workforce management, including time and attendance, team communication, labor-cost management, and connections with other restaurant and human-resources systems. Its customer base also grew from individual restaurant operators to multi-location restaurant businesses. Reliable public information is insufficient to verify the company’s complete financing history, customer count, revenue, or the exact release dates of individual products, so those details are not included.
