## Sound familiar?

What restaurants on 7shifts tell us before a project starts.

- Labor cost and sales are never on the same page.
- Payroll means exporting hours and fixing them in a sheet.
- New hires get set up in three systems.
- I find out about overtime after it's happened.
- Tip pools are worked out by hand.

## Questions people ask first

**Does 7shifts have an API?**

Yes. 7shifts publishes a developer API with webhooks for events such as published schedules and time punches.

**Does it connect to my POS?**

7shifts integrates with many restaurant POS systems. Where yours isn't covered, sales can come in through the API.

**Can hours go straight to payroll?**

Often through 7shifts' own payroll integrations. If yours isn't one of them, we build the handoff.

**Do you work with single locations?**

Yes. A single restaurant often gets the most from a labor-against-sales page.
