7shifts solves restaurant scheduling. Marty solves the cash that leaks after the schedule is set.
7shifts is purpose-built for restaurant labor management. It handles shift scheduling, time and attendance, tip pooling, labor compliance alerts, and team communication, all with strong mobile UX for staff and managers. For restaurant groups that have struggled with schedule coordination across locations, 7shifts is a genuine operational upgrade.
The platform's integrations with major POS systems give managers real-time labor cost estimates during scheduling. Compliance alerts for overtime thresholds, availability management, and built-in communication tools make it one of the most complete scheduling platforms built specifically for restaurants.
The schedule is built. The shift starts. What happens next? 7shifts tracks time and attendance, but it doesn't tell you whether Tuesday's schedule cost $1,200 more than it should have, or which employees are systematically clocking in early across three locations.
The compliance alerts fire when thresholds are crossed. But they're threshold-based, not dollar-based. You know labor is trending high. You don't know that Location 6 ran $980 over optimal this week, broken down by shift, employee, and dollar amount, with one action to fix each finding.
That's the gap. 7shifts plans the labor. Marty audits what it actually cost, and delivers the recovery opportunity to each GM's inbox by 6 AM.
