The company reported new enterprise partnerships, platform enhancements, and industry recognition as it continues to scale its workforce management solutions.
Among its recent partnerships, 7shifts has added collaborations with major brands including IHOP and HCI Hospitality, while also expanding relationships with restaurant groups such as Rooster’s Wings, The Broken Yolk Café, The Salty Donut, Boston Pizza Franchise Group, Hattie B’s Hot Chicken, and Doro Restaurant Group.

Tyler Marpes, Vice President of Technology Operations at Scooter’s Coffee, said the platform has helped streamline operational systems across the brand’s franchise network. He noted that the 7shifts team including sales, onboarding, and support has helped the company reduce operational complexity while providing franchisees with improved tools for managing labor.
7shifts has continued investing in solutions designed to help restaurants manage evolving labor requirements, payroll complexity, and regulatory compliance. According to CEO Jordan Boesch, payroll inefficiencies and financial stress can have a direct impact on employee retention within the restaurant industry. To address this challenge, the company has introduced On-Demand Pay for Tips and Wages, allowing employees to access earned income earlier while reducing administrative burdens for operators.

Recent enhancements include Multi-EIN Payroll, which allows restaurant groups to manage payroll across multiple entities from a single login, and a new ADP Workforce Now Next Generation payroll integration. Additional features include the launch of Clair Earned Wage Access, expanded compliance tools, location-level overtime tracking, and updated scheduling enforcement integrations for POS systems such as Square and Lightspeed.
Other improvements include redesigned time clock functionality through 7punches, expanded reporting capabilities, improved integration mapping, and new labor alerts that help operators monitor workforce activity more effectively.
In addition to customer growth and product innovation, 7shifts has also received recognition for its workplace culture and financial performance. The company was named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, which highlights the fastest-growing technology companies in North America based on revenue growth. It also received the 2025 Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures Award from Waterstone Human Capital, along with recognition as a Great Place to Work, Best Places for Young Talent in 2026, and Best Workplaces for Women in 2026.
