The scheduling tools your team already expects, sitting next to the guest-facing systems 7shifts leaves to other apps. Tiers are noted so nothing is oversold.
Drag-and-drop weekly scheduling with conflict detection for overlapping shifts, time-off, and role conflicts. Shift trades (swap, cover, open), team chat, tasks, and PTO — with automated shift reminders and free iOS and Android apps for staff.

On the Manager plan, the Aedan Rose Copilot reads your live data and proposes — then executes with your approval — real work: building schedules, messaging staff, editing the menu, and managing CRM. It's an operator's assistant, not a chatbot.
7shifts is a scheduling tool; it has no agentic operations copilot.
Aedan Rose Copilot · Manager ($949/mo)The same platform on a full web dashboard and free mobile apps. Managers build schedules and watch revenue; staff pick up shifts, chat, and clock in — all in one place.

7shifts is a capable platform in its lane. For restaurant scheduling that has to live alongside the rest of operations, Aedan Rose is built around the whole job.
7shifts handles scheduling. You still need a reservation tool, online ordering, a guest chatbot, email marketing, and analytics. Aedan Rose handles all of it — including CRM, loyalty, and branded email from Online Ordering — under one login and one bill.
7shifts paid tiers scale with team size. Aedan Rose is a flat per-location plan — the price doesn't climb as you hire, and team chat, tasks, PTO, and shift trades are included from Online Ordering.
A scheduling tool can't talk to your guests. Aedan Rose schedules the team and books reservations, takes orders, and answers questions 24/7 — sharing one database so analytics see both labor and demand.
On the Manager plan, the Aedan Rose Copilot builds schedules, messages staff, and edits the menu with your approval. It's the agentic layer 7shifts doesn't offer.
No marketing handwave: 7shifts has real strengths. If your priorities map to these, weigh them carefully.
Best-in-class scheduling depth: 7shifts has years of focused investment in labor forecasting and sales-per-labor-hour reporting. If labor optimization is your single biggest cost lever, their depth is real.
Deep POS integrations: 7shifts integrates with Toast, Square, Clover, TouchBistro, and others to pull real sales data into labor forecasts. Aedan Rose forecasts from its own ordering and reservation data and doesn't natively pull from third-party POS yet.
Payroll integrations: 7shifts connects to ADP, Gusto, and other payroll providers. On Aedan Rose, payroll is an add-on; if your workflow depends on tight, turn-key payroll integration today, weigh that carefully.
Compliance & tip-pool features: 7shifts has mature tooling for break tracking, predictive scheduling laws (NY, Oregon, and others), and tip-pooling. Aedan Rose covers core shift management but not labor-law compliance reporting.
No rip-and-replace weekend. Most teams are fully switched within one schedule cycle — and you can run 7shifts alongside Aedan Rose while your staff get comfortable.
Day 1: Sign up free, add your team, and build the schedule in the drag-and-drop editor. Invite staff to the free iOS and Android apps.
Day 2: Connect Stripe, set your floor plan and hours, and turn on reservations and online ordering — the parts 7shifts never covered.
Day 3–7: Run both in parallel if you like. Once the team is trading shifts and chatting inside Aedan Rose, most restaurants retire 7shifts and consolidate the bill.
No lock-in: Aedan Rose plans are month-to-month, and yearly billing includes two months free. Keep your own Stripe account and your processing relationship.
If 7shifts is one of several tools on your software bill — scheduling here, reservations there, marketing somewhere else — pulling them into one platform usually costs less than the stack, and everything shares one database.
With a point-tool stack: a scheduling subscription that scales with headcount, plus separate bills for reservations, ordering, marketing, and guest support — each with its own login and its own data silo.
With Aedan Rose: Online Ordering at $79/mo (scheduling, reservations, ordering, CRM, loyalty), Full House at $299/mo (adds a geofenced time clock, inventory, and the Money Dashboard), or Manager at $949/mo (adds the agentic AI Copilot) — flat per location, one bill. See full pricing.
