Our Story
When I first started 7shifts, I had one goal in mind - to make scheduling easier for my dad who owned a few Quiznos franchises back in 2006. I was 19 years old at the time and decided to build the first iteration of what is now 7shifts.
Over the years, I worked on 7shifts during my spare time while going to school in Ottawa (Canada) and working a full-time job as a web developer. I kept chipping away at it - little by little, because I loved solving real-world problems with intuitive software and I knew a lot of restaurants were facing scheduling and employee management problems.
It wasn't until the summer of 2013 that I was able to start working on 7shifts full-time. I had bootstrapped 7shifts with my own cash and man-hours to a point where it was making enough to pay for one employee - myself.
In November 2013, I convinced Johannes and Andrée to leave their jobs and join 7shifts. They were excited about changing scheduling in an industry long overdue for an overhaul. Currently, Johannes is in charge of leading the mobile side of 7shifts, which includes Android and iPhone, and Andrée handles client support, marketing, and operations.
In February 2014, our team raised a small round of funding in the valley to help propel 7shifts forward. We setup an office in our hometown, Regina, SK, and are currently working as hard as we can to make scheduling a simpler process for restaurants everywhere.7shifts continues to evolve, and every week Johannes, Andrée, and I are committed to releasing updates and features that benefit restaurant owners, managers, and their employees.
We're loving every minute of it and we would love you to be a part of our journey.
