Scheduling and labor, wired into your Point of Sale
Build the schedule, run the time clock, and watch labor against sales as the shift happens. 7shifts connects directly to Genius, so the numbers it works from are your numbers.
What it actually does
Scheduling that takes minutes
Build the week from templates, publish to everyone at once, and let staff swap shifts with manager approval instead of a group text at 6am.
A time clock that matches the schedule
7punches turns a tablet into a time clock. Clock-ins can be held to the schedule, so early punches stop quietly costing you.
Labor cost you can see live
Sales come across from Genius, so you are watching labor as a percentage of real revenue during service — not finding out on Tuesday.
Tips and payroll
Tip pooling rules, wage and tip calculation, and payroll with tax filing if you want the whole thing in one place.
One place to talk to the team
Announcements, shift notes and chat that live where the schedule lives, so nothing important dies in a text thread.
Hiring, onboarding and training
Post jobs, track applicants, store signed documents, and run short training courses new hires can do on their phone.
How it connects to Genius
This is a real integration, not a spreadsheet export. Once we map your locations and roles, four things start moving on their own.
Sales flow in
Net sales come across from Genius automatically, and up to 90 days of history loads when the connection is switched on, so forecasting has something to chew on from day one.
Employees stay in sync
New staff added on one side appear on the other — name, employee ID, phone, location, department and role — instead of being typed twice.
Actual labor lands next to sales
Punches come over from the Point of Sale and sit beside real revenue on the dashboard. One note worth knowing: punches arrive after someone clocks out, not live during the shift.
Schedule enforcement
Staff can be blocked from clocking in outside their scheduled shift, which is the single cheapest way to stop labor creep.
Forecasting that learns
After a week or two of your own sales data, 7shifts starts forecasting demand and suggesting how much labor a given day actually needs.
We do the setup
Mapping locations, departments and roles is what makes or breaks this integration. We handle it, along with the API key from Genius and matching your workday hours on both sides.
Why we recommend it
It fits how restaurants actually run
Built for restaurants specifically — split shifts, sections, tip pools, minors, all the things generic scheduling tools handle badly.
It pays for itself in labor
Most operators find the savings in overtime, early clock-ins and overstaffed shifts, not in the software line item.
You have one number to call
If the integration misbehaves, call us. We will work it out with Genius and 7shifts rather than handing you two support numbers.
Want to see it on your own numbers?
We will connect it to your Genius data, walk you through a week of scheduling, and show you what your labor actually looks like against sales. No scripted pitch.
