7shifts vs. Verint Workforce Management for Back Office

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

I believe it is well suited for larger companies or companies that are looking to scale larger. It works well for all levels of business, but definitely is great for leaders who seek to better manage their employees and understand the work they are completing or just what they are doing throughout the day

• 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.

• DPA - da best
• triggers
• Schedule optimization

• 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

• Your graphs. Sweet lord they are hideous
• Report formats are a struggle bus I hate riding
• Back office quality tracking

I would say that Verint is very user friendly and is easy to navigate. I have not had any negative experiences with training staff on how to utilize the suite and the feedback I have received has always been positive. I would say that reporting could be easier to navigate and utilize on both the back office and customer side.

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.

Well team showed up to win, so you beat them out hands down, It was frankly embarrassing for them.

• 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.
