A Better Shift Starts Here: SpeedLine + 7shifts Join Forces

A Better Shift Starts Here: SpeedLine + 7shifts Join Forces The Partnership That Puts Your Labor Strategy Where It Belongs, Working for You SpeedLine is proud to officially announce a new partnership with 7shifts, bringing powerful, modern labor-management capabilities directly into the SpeedLine ecosystem. For operators who have spent late nights trying to fill shifts, balance labor budgets, or track down last-minute replacements, this collaboration marks a major step forward in simplifying and strengthening workforce management across the restaurant industry. 7shifts was built for the fast-paced, unpredictable nature of hospitality. It's more than a scheduling tool, it's a complete team-management platform designed to help operators save time, support their staff, and protect their bottom line. With this new integration, SpeedLine Plus now communicates with 7shifts, allowing labor and sales data to flow effortlessly between the two systems and giving operators a clearer, more accurate picture of their business. Smarter Scheduling, Built for Real Restaurant Life Creating a weekly schedule shouldn't take hours, and with 7shifts, it doesn't. The platform's drag-and-drop builder makes it easy to build schedules quickly and confidently. * Templates let you reuse your strongest schedules with a single click * Employee availability is displayed clearly before assigning shifts * Once published, schedules are delivered instantly to staff smartphones This partnership ensures that SpeedLine operators can build schedules faster, with fewer errors, and with better visibility into labor needs. Proactive Labor Cost Control Labor is one of the most significant controllable expenses in any restaurant. Through this integration, operators gain the insight they need to manage staffing proactively rather than reacting after the fact. * Set labor budgets based on projected sales * Receive alerts before employees reach overtime * Adjust staffing levels before labor costs impact profitability By connecting SpeedLine Plus sales data directly to 7shifts, operators can make informed decisions in real time. A Central Hub for Team Communication Clear communication is essential to keeping teams aligned and reducing turnover. 7shifts brings all staff communication into one organized, accessible platform. * The Shift Pool allows employees to swap or claim shifts with manager approval * In-app messaging supports announcements and group conversations * Read receipts show exactly who has viewed important updates This partnership gives restaurants a reliable, centralized way to keep their teams informed and engaged every day. Tools That Support Today's Workforce Modern restaurant employees expect flexibility, transparency, and control, and 7shifts delivers. * Staff can trade shifts, pick up extra hours, or release shifts when needed * Tip pooling rules can be customized and managed using SpeedLine Terminal labor data * Employees can view their individual or pooled tip earnings directly in the app * Drivers can access multiple store locations from a single account * Sick or no-show shifts can be reassigned as open shifts while maintaining accurate attendance and accountability These features help restaurants retain their best talent and create a more supportive work environment across every shift. Compliance Made Easier Labor laws continue to evolve, and staying compliant can be challenging. 7shifts helps operators stay on track with built-in tools for: * Break tracking * "Right to Rest" requirements * Fair Work Week regulations This partnership gives operators confidence that they're meeting labor requirements without adding extra administrative work. Data-Driven Scheduling Through SpeedLine Integration The integration between SpeedLine and 7shifts brings precision and clarity to labor planning. By syncing SpeedLine Plus sales data directly into 7shifts, operators can schedule with accuracy and confidence across every shift. * Forecast staffing needs using actual SpeedLine sales history * Track labor-to-sales percentages in real time * Reduce payroll errors with synced clock-in/clock-out data * Stay compliant with automated break and overtime tracking This data-driven approach helps operators make smarter decisions that directly impact profitability. A Better Experience for Your Entire Team With the 7shifts mobile app, employees can view schedules, request time off, and manage shift changes from their phones. This transparency reduces no-shows, improves communication, and keeps teams more engaged and informed. A Partnership Designed to Help Operators Succeed At SpeedLine, its mission has always been to provide operators with the tools they need to run more efficient, more profitable delivery and restaurant operations. Its new partnership with 7shifts strengthens that mission by giving restaurants greater control over labor, communication, and compliance, and ultimately helping operators reclaim their most valuable resource: time.
