Considered Both Products	7shifts AL Arthur Li CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Chose 7shifts HotSchedules and ScheduleFly Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose 7shifts We used When I Work when it first debuted, but 7Shifts technology is much more advanced than When I Work's was at that time. Incentivized Helpful?

Jayelynn Willman General Manager Chose 7shifts For me, 7Shifts has the same amount of functionality, but for a much better price.

User Testimonials
	7shifts	Aplano
Likelihood to Recommend	7Shifts is ideal for a broad number of restaurant clients, whether it is a single unit, independent location or multi-unit, multi-jurisdiction group like ours. Pricing is very reasonable, and as mentioned earlier, a lightweight and intuitive platform makes it easy to implement and maintain, and scalable for growth Incentivized AL Arthur Li CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Staff can easily access fellow team members' contact info (phone & email). Staff can easily enter availability or time off. Managers have a log book to share issues or updates from the days’ shift so quick action can be completed easily if needed. Being able to communicate with managers only, with a specific department, or with the entire staff easily is very helpful.

Cons	iPhone app: I'm not able to change the preset time frames so I have to manually enter the shifts When working from the app it doesn't block out the time off as it does on the desktop so I have to make sure I haven't approved anyone first before I start doing the schedule Incentivized Jayelynn Willman General Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Support - whether via email or chat - has generally been prompt, reliable, courteous and effective. Support follows-up and works proactively to ensure our questions and issues are addressed. 7Shifts also genuinely cares about customer success, which is important to us Incentivized AL Arthur Li CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Read full review	No answers on this topic

Return on Investment	I have worked in the service industry before where we just had a phone directory and copy of the schedule posted on a cork board by the office. It was a nightmare! I would say 7shifts has made a major impact on ensuring proper coverage for different meal hours and special events. We do not run short staffed very often anymore.
