Take it from our customers:
“If you're a restaurant professional, this is a mandate. If this is a hobby for you, by all means, use something else. Use Excel, use post-it notes if you write it down. But if you're a professional and this is your career and your actual goal is to earn profit for your business, then there's no viable solution or anything that would make sense other than this, there just isn't."

“Communication in this business is everything. 7shifts has saved the day and made it possible for me to get through that first opening, and I continue to use 7shifts to open my other restaurants and it’s the one consistent thing that keeps us together.”

The schedule and chat features are great, but why do I NEVER get notifications? Everything is turned on, and several of my co-workers have the same problem - an icon pops up in my notification panel but it doesn't make a sound or actually display said notification the way it's supposed to.

Obviously I use this for work. It is essential for me and everyone I work with. I have never had major problems with the app until recently. It won't ever open for me now. I've restarted my phone many times, and have uninstalled and installed the app. Still it won't actually open for me. It's really frustrating as I need this app to see my work schedule and be able to see and send messages to staff.

I've been using this app for my job for over two years & it's always been great no issues, but for the past few days, I have not been able to log in every time I try im taken to a black screen saying page not found. It's incredibly frustrating because I have to use this on a daily basis. I can't see my schedule, announcements, my tips literally nothing. This issue NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
