7shifts Just Added a Few More Zeros to Saskat00,000,000n
Since our initial portfolio spotlight on 7shifts — which you can check out here — the Saskatoon-based labour management platform has continued to take the restaurant industry by storm. With its pandemic-proof app, updated features, and new headquarters, here at Relay, we remain confident that 7shifts is ready for anything.
The genius of 7shifts scheduling app lies primarily in its adaptability: the platform can be used to conduct a variety of management tasks including, keeping track of inventory, scheduling, and hiring new employees. With so many time saving features, 7Shifts’ reasonable price points (monthly memberships range from $17.99 to $69.99) are perfect for clients who want to save 3–5 hours a week from the headaches involved with coordinating staff.
Despite the influx of Covid-19 related dining restrictions, 7Shifts’ innovative digital app continues to play an integral role in the day-to-day operations of many of your favourite local pubs, restaurants, and coffee shops. Whether a restaurant is deciding to reopen for indoor dining — or to focus solely on takeout and delivery — 7shifts’ built-in management features can be customized to suit restaurants of any size or type.
One such feature is pool tipping — this newly added tool allows restaurants to create more equitable wages, which in turn, can help retain more front-of-house talent amidst labour shortages brought on by the pandemic. The feature also allows restaurant owners to create customizable tip pools with tip data automatically synced through 7shifts’ time-clocking app, thereby creating fairer and more efficient tip splits.
In addition to successfully navigating business throughout the pandemic, to better accommodate its growing talent base, 7shifts has recently decided to relocate its headquarters to a new state-of-the-art high-rise. A far cry from the company’s humble beginnings — a 10-desk office sitting over retail space at 115 2nd Ave. S in downtown Saskatoon.
In celebrating yet another mark of 7shift’s incredible growth, we are pleased to welcome David Boriss and Softbank to the 7shifts team as part of the company’s $80MM Series C fundraise! 7shifts and the team at Relay are also thrilled to continue to partner with Ten Coves, EHI, and Conexus, amongst many others.
With its new cutting edge office and innovative platform that caters to the age of digital dining — 7shifts is indeed ready to shift into the future.
