Pros
- Free for one location, covering the basics well
- Per-location pricing with unlimited employees (no per-head fee on core plans)
- Adds time tracking, hiring, and payroll as you grow
- Easy for non-technical owners
Cons
- Per-location pricing jumps the moment you add a second site
- Less restaurant-specific forecasting than 7shifts
- Best HR/compliance features only on the top tier
Integrations
Integrates with common POS systems and payroll providers; broad small-business tool support.
Alternatives
Our take: Hard to beat for a single location thanks to the free tier and unlimited employees. If you run multiple sites, the per-location cost adds up fast, so compare with Deputy or Sling.
