7shifts

7shifts is a workforce management platform designed for restaurants, enabling users to schedule staff, manage labor costs, and streamline communication. Use it to optimize employee scheduling and improve operational efficiency.

Data Model

  • Company — top-level tenant; resolve company_id from the account roster before scheduling or HR calls.
  • Locations, Departments, Roles are company-scoped. Use for shift creation.
  • Users are employees. Assign to departments, locations, roles via assignment tools.
  • Shifts are scheduled work. Link to location, department, role, user. Create and delete for testing.
  • Time Entries (time punches), Time Off Requests, Availability are user-level.
  • Receipts, Tasks, Log Entries, Log Book Categories are location/company scoped.
  • Webhooks, Events are company-scoped. Use for integrations and scheduling.

Gotchas

  • company_id required: Almost all tools need company_id. Set as configurable default for convenience.
  • Destructive calls: Automated harnesses often send sentinel ids (e.g. 999999) to prove error handling without touching live shifts; real removals should reuse ids minted during setup flows.
  • Assignment IDs: department_id, location_id, role_id, user_id often required together for create/update.
