7shifts (est. in 2013) is a Canadian software company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, with offices in Toronto and Hoboken, New Jersey. It is known for developing the “7shifts” mobile app and web-based employee scheduling application for the restaurant industry.
History[edit]
7shifts was founded in 2013 in Regina, Saskatchewan by Jordan Boesch. He conceptualized the idea of a restaurant management app in 2007 while working at a Quiznos location.[1] Boesch learned to code to build a prototype app and moved to San Francisco when his project was accepted into Boost VC, a tech accelerator.[2]
The firm opened its first office in Regina in August 2015 but moved its headquarters to Saskatoon in November of the same year.[3] In January 2016, it opened a second office in Toronto.[4]
In 2019, 7shifts was included in The Globe and Mail’s “Canada's top growing companies” rating.[5] In January 2020, the firm opened its first US office in Hoboken, New Jersey. In April 2020, 7shifts temporarily laid off 40 employees due to COVID-19 lockdowns.[6]
Funding and financials[edit]
The firm had several rounds of funding, raising $1.2 million in May 2016,[7] $10 million in January 2019,[8] and $6 million in October 2019.[9]
Product[edit]
7shifts is a scheduling software that helps managers schedule restaurant staff, while the staff can view assigned shifts, trade them, and communicate with one another.[10] It uses artificial intelligence to predict staffing needs based on factors such as historical sales or weather.[8]
