7shifts Restaurant Payroll Software Disrupting How Restaurant Teams Automate Time-Consuming Tasks

New updates feature faster processing, seamless onboarding, and expanded retirement and insurance options

TORONTO, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 7shifts, the all-in-one scheduling, payroll, and tip management app for restaurant operators, has updated its innovative payroll solution to further simplify and automate time-consuming restaurant payroll tasks and free up more time for busy restaurant teams. The new features include 401(k) benefits guidance, year-end dashboards for better tax insights, and faster payroll processing schedules and onboarding. Payroll, which makes up a third of restaurant operating costs, is one of the most important facets of running a restaurant and the 7shifts payroll solution provides an easy way to help assist with scheduling, tracking attendance, and paying restaurant teams in one easy-to-use tool.

"We know restaurant operators are busy—that's why our simplified payroll solution streamlines payroll processing, getting it done in minutes, not hours," said Jeff Imm, general manager of pay at 7shifts. "We're committed to making restaurant payroll and benefits easier and more accessible for our clients. With faster payroll processing, improved employee onboarding, and expanded benefits, we're helping restaurant teams save time, reduce stress, and take better care of their employees."

Updates to the 7shifts app include:

• Adding Guideline 401(k) to the Benefits Marketplace to help bring affordable retirement savings plans, health insurance, and workers' compensation to restaurant teams.
• Introducing custom Year-End dashboards to assist restaurant managers in navigating their end-of-year tax season.
• Implementing faster payroll processing by reducing the standard four-day schedule to three days, with options to qualify for two-day or next-day pay.
• Improving payroll onboarding to help restaurant operators quickly and efficiently onboard multiple employees at one time. 

The 7shifts payroll solution has been simplified with automatic wage and tip calculations to ensure employees get paid on time and accurately. In addition, time-consuming restaurant payroll tasks are automated, saving restaurant operators up to 12 hours per month, running payroll in under five minutes, and onboarding employees in under 10 minutes. Built-in payroll compliance features also help reduce the risk of fines and legal issues.

"7shifts Payroll allows us to automate the entire payroll process with just one click," said Avery Ward, CEO of Little Italy Ristorante. "It imports hours for multiple positions, calculates both cash and credit tips, and automatically manages paid time off and sick leave. This automation has reduced our payroll processing time from over three hours to just a few minutes."
