Corporate Responsibility

Carbon Neutral

Being carbon neutral means carbon emissions are balanced by carbon negative projects to eliminate impact on the environment. Research shows that sustainable businesses have an advantage over others. Becoming a carbon neutral business can help fight climate change, increase company value, improve employee recruiting and retention, build brand loyalty, attract more customers and improve the overall community. Investing in carbon negative projects offers an effective solution to take action against emissions from essential business operations that can’t be eliminated. 7shifts has gone carbon neutral, partnering with a North Carolina startup called Green Places to offset carbon production.

Customer insights

“Using 7shifts is one of the best decisions our company has ever made! It makes us more efficient and more organized. Our employees love it because they have constant access to their schedule. From a management perspective we have gotten rid of all paper in regards to scheduling. All the great features can’t be explained in one review.” – Cameron McNie, Company Administrator

 

“Since we’ve moved to 7shifts my email use has reduced so much and there are so many super valuable elements to the platform that are really functional for us… I appreciate the communication tools.” – Nancy Harrison, Director of Retail

 

“Our supervisors use the manager logbook and it has been extremely helpful in keeping everyone up to speed on daily operations, issues and ideas. We act much quicker when addressing problems with staff and maintenance, and reduce the distortion of facts when compared to transferring information along a chain of conversations. This is a valuable feature not to be overlooked.” – Shannon Stebelko, Chef and Owner

 

“Engage is the feature we didn’t know we needed until we had it.” – Richmond Green, Director of Operations

 

“Using 7shifts for BOH management makes for smooth sailing. It gives me the ability to keep track of every staff member’s availability and time off requests. What can otherwise become a messy pile of scribbles on various pieces of paper is now right in front of me when it comes time to put my weekly schedule together.” – David Smith, Sous Chef

 

“We use 7shifts as our comprehensive labor management solution at each of our restaurants. Our management team uses 7shifts to develop, maintain shifts and schedules for all staff, communicate restaurant and organization announcements to all staff, track revenue and labor cost metrics, and facilitate Time & Attendance. As a truly cloud-based platform via the website and the mobile app, our management corporate team can effectively and efficiently manage the workforce both remotely and at the restaurants in real-time.” – Arthur Li, Chief Financial Officer

 

“ 7shifts is one of the best investments I’ve made for my business. By having a cloud based software program that allows my employees to enter in their availability and requested time off on their own, I no longer have to remember anything regarding scheduling issues and it requires them to be responsible for their own scheduling needs. I simply just start making the schedule and when I schedule one of our staff on a day that conflicts with their days off it gives me a conflict error. This is probably one of the best investments for keeping employee morale high! Thanks 7shifts.” – Jason Chong, Bar/Pub

 

“7shifts has helped us with our labor targets a lot. It’s been something we had to improve on as a company. 7shifts does a great job of giving us better eyes on our labor targets with the Budget tool that’s built-in. Several of our operations are using it, as forecasting itself takes time and training.” – TJ McReynolds, Area Director, QSR

 

“I used to spend over three hours every week making a schedule for my restaurant. Manually having to go through everyone’s written request and updated availability bogged down the process before ever really getting started. We got a free trial with 7shifts and I was a little skeptical. We had tried other software-based scheduling apps before but nothing seemed to flow and fit within the needs of our store. But when I finally started with 7shifts I was pleasantly surprised. The setup was easy and I was immediately stunned by the fluidity and ease that I found in getting started. Before I knew it, I was able to go from over three hours to make my schedules to now being able to do it in under 90 minutes. The employees LOVE it too! I highly recommend 7shifts to any restaurant manager. Give it a shot and you’ll see what I’m talking about.” – Ryan Summers, General Manager, Full Service

 

“Great product with even better customer service, the team is always on the ball and happy to help.” – John Crehan, Operations Manager

 

“This app is a fantastic time saver for very easy and intuitive labor management.” – Mike Svechnikar, Full Service

 

“When we implemented 7shifts our staff was delighted – the communications tools are fantastic. Now that we’ve integrated our Toast POS with 7shifts, were getting even more out of it – managing and controlling our labor costs has never been easier.” – Barry Lowenthal, Owner

Company insights

“The industry has evolved quickly and is frequently introducing new compliance laws that directly impact restaurateurs, big and small. With 7shifts’ core offering being scheduling, it was only natural to go deeper on supporting all aspects related to scheduling compliance. 7shifts partners closely with compliance lawyers across the US to firmly understand the regulation requirements by state. From that, 7shifts builds out the necessary reporting and alerting directly into a simple team management product that all layers of management can access.” – Jordan Boesch, CEO
