# 7shifts

> 7shifts is vertical SaaS for restaurant labor: one system for hiring, training, scheduling, time clocks, communication, compliance, tips and payroll. Founder Jordan Boesch started with the sticky notes and spreadsheets at his father's sandwich shops, briefly chased a broader market, then cut roughly two-thirds of the customer base to focus entirely on restaurants. That painful narrowing became its edge: restaurant-specific workflows, deep POS integrations and a platform now used by more than 55,000 restaurants and 1.5 million workers across North America.
