| Likelihood to Recommend | > 7Shifts is ideal for a broad number of restaurant clients, whether it is a single unit, independent location or multi-unit, multi-jurisdiction group like ours. Pricing is very reasonable, and as mentioned earlier, a lightweight and intuitive platform makes it easy to implement and maintain, and scalable for growth Incentivized | > I believe StratEx is well suited for any type of business at any size. However, I believe the sweet spot would be hotels and restaurants that are small to midsize. With the right HR staff in place, StratEx is so user-friendly and moldable to the needs of the business that it can be used in any industry, location, or by any company with any employee population. Incentivized |
| Pros | > - Staff can easily access fellow team members' contact info (phone & email). - Staff can easily enter availability or time off. - Managers have a log book to share issues or updates from the days’ shift so quick action can be completed easily if needed. - Being able to communicate with managers only, with a specific department, or with the entire staff easily is very helpful. Incentivized |
> - Tip splitting - Payroll by class - Specific reports Incentivized |
| Cons | > - When creating schedules I wish there was a way to remember the last schedule you were on instead of ordering them in alphabetical order. - When working on a schedule, again when you revisit it, it alphabetizes the employees instead of keeping them in the order you add them. This is pertinent for our business because we're reservation-based and work off of a rotating schedule where the lowest ones are called off if there are not enough reservations. Incentivized |
> - HR - We used to receive HR support and that is something that we really miss. - StratEx was also our broker so made the health care side of things seamless and we miss that too. - Support - Sometimes the support we get is lacking or we get different answers from different people. Incentivized |
| Support Rating | > I would say everyone at our store really appreciates the fact that we have 7shifts. We would be lost with out it. It would be hard to find anyone that does not support the software. Incentivized | No answers on this topic |
| Alternatives Considered | > For me, 7Shifts has the same amount of functionality, but for a much better price. The app functionality of 7shifts was easier to navigate and allowed me to do more than. I've recommended it to several other local businesses who have implemented it as well and had great luck. Incentivized | > Without a doubt, StratEx wins. Against all the major players in the HRS/HRIS industry, StratEx's biggest win is cost, both implementation and ongoing costs. The other's we evaluated offered tons of flashy things that most companies don't really need. When it was all said it done, we looked at what we needed and what we will need and determined that there is no reason to pay for a "big" brand name and be a small fish in their large ponds.

| Return on Investment | > - Positive: Less call outs/ and missed communication due to internal conversations that were never communicated. - Positive: Manager log book has helped multiple departments stay in touch and on the pulse of the floor operation. Departments like HR, events, reservations, AP/ AR, etc. are not empowered to be more proactive - Labor and sales are tracked and can be forecasted which has helps us schedule SMARTER. Incentivized |
> - Great reports and analytics - Moderately high fees - Convenience Incentivized |
