7shifts alternative
A tool that runs the floor and grows the restaurant.
7shifts is a well-known restaurant team-management platform, strong on scheduling and labor. If that's all you need, it's a solid choice. standley is worth a look when you also want the floor to bring guests back — because it turns great service into Google reviews, which pure scheduling tools simply aren't built to do.

The difference
It grows the restaurant, not just the schedule
This is the reason to switch. Every server gets a QR code — on a wooden card or their phone — that puts a guest one tap from a Google review with the server's name attached. Scheduling apps manage your team; standley manages your team and helps fill the room. One pilot restaurant pulled over 300 reviews in its first month.
Per-server QR codes → one tap to a Google review
Weekly leaderboard and automatic staff recognition
A growth engine, not just an operations tool
It still runs the floor
Everything you'd expect from a scheduling app
You don't give anything up on operations. standley does the week grid with named shift presets, draft and publish, shift covers and time-off, an NFC tap-to-punch time clock with geofencing, opening and closing checklists with photo proof, and labor — scheduled vs. actual by person.

Built by an operator
Shaped on a real floor, not in a boardroom
standley was built by a restaurant owner and proven on real Saturday nights before it was sold to anyone else. The result is an app your staff actually open — warm, fast, and free of the jargon that makes software feel like a chore.
Common questions
Is standley a good 7shifts alternative?
If you want scheduling plus something that also brings guests back, yes. standley covers the operations 7shifts is known for — scheduling, covers, time clock, labor — and adds the piece scheduling tools don't: per-server QR codes that turn great service into Google reviews. Pricing and features on other tools change, so compare current details on their site too.
What does standley do that a scheduling app doesn't?
It grows the restaurant. Every server has a code that sends guests one tap from a Google review with their name attached, rolled up on a weekly leaderboard. It's a growth engine bolted onto the staff-ops tools you already need.
How much does standley cost?
From $59 a month per location, with every feature included on every plan — plans differ by team size, not by feature tier. You start free for 7 days and can cancel anytime.
