7shifts vs. Avero

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

If you have multiple locations, Avero can bring all your reporting into one place. Not sure it is worth it if you have one store and are not looking to get deep dive reporting.

• 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.

• 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

• Once it is set up it's a bit cumbersome to tweak some of the canned reports.
• Change colors in theme.
• Secure log in during testing.

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

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.

Overall reviews and after speaking to several companies using Avero it was the clear choice. We looked at many more than just the couple we reviewed but those 2 we narrowed down due to similar cost and features. Slingshot was just easier to understand and implement into our environment.

• 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.

• Increased our business 3x since we added a dashboard
• Less need for staffing for manual reports
• Mobile view is amazing!
