The short answer

Choose 7shifts if

You run one small restaurant with up to 15 staff and the free plan covers you.
You want labour targets set from POS sales data.
You need tip management, hiring or staff training in the same tool.
You want overtime alerts and state-based labour compliance tools.

Choose Rosterly if

You run several locations and don’t want to pay again for each one.
You’re not a restaurant: cafés, retail, pharmacies, cleaning or care.
Shifts need a particular skill, checked before anyone is assigned.
Your sites are in different countries or currencies.

What 7shifts does well

Made for restaurants

Labour targets from projected POS sales, POS integrations, stations, tip declarations and a manager log book. Rosterly doesn’t connect to a POS or forecast from sales.

A free plan for small sites

Comp is free for one location with up to 15 employees. Rosterly has no free plan; it has a 14-day free trial and starts at A$29 a month.

Compliance and overtime tools

Pro adds labour compliance warnings, overtime notifications and break tracking. Rosterly removes unpaid breaks from paid time but doesn’t calculate overtime.

Beyond scheduling

Hiring, employee training, tip management and task lists are available on higher plans or as add-ons. Rosterly focuses on the roster, time clock, leave and team updates.
