Where we're different

Your second location doesn't double the bill

7shifts bills each location separately. On ShiftsLine, Pro covers every location you run for $49 a month total. Open a second store and the bill stays where it was.

Hire for summer without changing plans

Starter and Pro have no limit on workers and no per-worker fee. Bring on the seasonal crew and the price stays the same.

Photo clock-in without the top tier

A photo at every punch and an approval queue for early clock-ins come with Starter. That's the cheapest paid plan, not the most expensive one.

Not just for restaurants

7shifts is built around the restaurant. ShiftsLine works for any team that runs on shifts, whether that's a retail floor, a front desk, or a care home.

When 7shifts might suit you better

If you run a multi-unit restaurant group that relies on tight POS integrations, tip pooling, and payroll in the same tool, 7shifts has spent years building for that and it shows. If you want fast scheduling, clock-in you can trust, and a price that doesn't grow every time you open a location or hire, try ShiftsLine. It's free for up to 5 people, and you can see every plan before you pay anything.
