A real-time view of restaurant staff scheduling with 7shifts—fully integrated with Applova. Managers can assign shifts, monitor labor costs, and ensure optimal staffing levels for every day of the week, all from one screen.

Real Talk: The Pain Points We’re Solving

You know the drill:

  • Guessing how many servers you’ll need next Saturday.
  • Spending hours texting and calling staff to fill shifts.
  • Watching labor costs creep higher…and higher.
  • Dealing with grumpy staff because the schedule is a mess.
  • Getting slammed during rush hours because the front and back aren’t in sync.

It’s exhausting. And frankly, it’s not sustainable when you’re trying to grow.

How Applova + 7shifts Make Life Easier

✅ Smarter Schedules
No more throwing darts at the scheduling board. With this integration, Applova’s real-time sales and order data flow straight into 7shifts — giving you the power to schedule based on actual business trends, not wild guesses.
(Imagine knowing you’ll need three servers Friday night — not five or seven — because your data says so.)

✅ Managers Actually Manage
Instead of being stuck in spreadsheets, your managers can get back to what they’re good at: taking care of customers and leading teams. Admin time goes way down.

✅ Happy Staff, Happy Life
Employees can swap shifts, see updates, and manage their schedules easily. Less confusion = fewer no-shows and more smiles.

✅ Faster, Smoother Operations
When your front-of-house knows what’s coming and your kitchen crew isn’t blindsided by sudden surges, service speed goes up. Customers notice. (And they tip better, just saying.)
