Difference in scope

7shifts specializes in scheduling, time clocking and labor compliance. 86’d’s scheduling is in Beta and it doesn’t clock time or run payroll. 86’d focuses on the operating record (log, handoff, checklists, incidents, BEOs), nightly close with tip-out statements, inventory, invoices and recipe costing. 86’d has no time clock, payroll or labor-compliance engine; those stay in a time-and-payroll system.
