Where SavorCrew is different

AI drafting included at every tier, validated against your roster before you see it — 7shifts gates AI scheduling to higher tiers.

Both tip models — pooled and tip-share — with a legal-grade audit on every distribution.

Labor hours feed SavorVitals prime-cost (food % + labor %). A standalone scheduler can't do that.

Offline-tolerant clock for patios, back docks, and walk-ins with weak signal.

Where 7shifts might fit better

Enterprise franchise hierarchy beyond 10 venues.

Built-in payroll tax filing — SavorCrew exports files; it doesn't file.

A large existing 7shifts integration ecosystem you already depend on.

Switching from 7shifts

Switching is a day, not a quarter. Import your roster, we draft your first week, you publish.

What imports

Export your staff list from 7shifts as a CSV and bring it over — names, roles, and wages land on your SavorCrew roster. Founding operators get white-glove migration: we import the roster and draft week one for you.

Day one

Day one, your crew gets the claim link, sees the week on their phones, and clocks in with one tap. You build next week from an AI draft instead of a blank grid.

No lock-in

No contract, no setup fee, and the price you sign up at is locked for life. If it doesn't fit, you can leave — your roster and payroll files export on the way out.

The honest line

What you lose: 7shifts' integration ecosystem, and your history — old punches and tip runs don't import. Keep your 7shifts exports for your records; SavorCrew's audit trail starts the day you switch.

Switching questions, answered.

Can I import my 7shifts roster?

Yes — export your staff list as a CSV and we bring names, roles, and wages onto your SavorCrew roster. Founding operators get white-glove migration: we load it for you and draft week one.

Do I lose tip history when I switch?

Old punches and tip runs don't import. Keep your 7shifts exports for your records — SavorCrew's audit trail starts the day you switch, and every distribution from then on is logged immutably.

Is the AI draft really included on the $9.99 plan?

Yes. AI draft is included at every tier, including Solo at $9.99.

What does 'payroll export, not processing' mean?

SavorCrew generates Gusto, ADP, and QuickBooks files from closed pay periods. It never files payroll taxes.
