Today marks a major milestone for Peak Ops: we're officially integrated with 7shifts.

This wasn't just a technical integration. It unlocked the most-requested feature from our early pilot conversations: automatically delivering daily micro-checks to the manager currently on shift.

No new logins. No extra apps. Just one text message with a 2-minute check that keeps operations tight.

What This Means for Teams Using 7shifts:

  • Start Peak Ops with zero setup. We sync your shifts, locations, and team automatically
  • Micro-checks only go to managers when they're actually on shift
  • No duplicate systems. Peak Ops works alongside the tools you already use

Why This Integration Matters

In our early conversations with multi-unit restaurant operators, we kept hearing the same feedback:

"We love the simplicity of micro-checks. But can you send them only when the opening manager is on shift? We don't want them going out when no one's there to respond."

That feedback was clear: timing matters just as much as simplicity.

The challenge? Most teams already use 7shifts for scheduling. They didn't want to duplicate that information in yet another platform. They wanted Peak Ops to work with what they already had.

How It Works

The integration is designed to be invisible to your team:

  1. 1. Connect 7shifts (one time)
    Your admin connects Peak Ops to 7shifts once. We sync your locations, employees, and shifts automatically.
  2. 2. Configure your schedule
    Choose when micro-checks should be sent (e.g., 30 minutes after shift start, daily at 9am, or randomized throughout the week).
  3. 3. Let it run
    Peak Ops monitors who's on shift in real-time. When a manager clocks in, the micro-check goes out automatically.

Your managers don't need to do anything different. They get their micro-check via email or SMS, click the magic link, answer 2-3 questions, and they're done.

Built to Run Alongside Your Existing Tools

Here's what we learned from every pivot, every failed product, every piece of feedback:

Teams don't want another platform to manage. They want systems that work together.

7shifts is where you manage schedules.
Your POS is where you track sales.
Your email is where you communicate.
Peak Ops is where you build the daily habits that prevent compliance issues.

We don't replace any of those. We fit into the gaps. Delivering accountability at the right moment, to the right person, without adding overhead.

Why Integration-First Matters

When we started Peak Ops, we had a choice:

  • Build our own scheduling system (and ask teams to duplicate their data)
  • Integrate with the tools they already use (and let the data flow automatically)

The first option gives us more control. The second option gives our customers less friction.

We chose less friction every time.

Our guiding principle:

Peak Ops should be the easiest thing you add to your operations stack. Not another platform to manage, but a system that makes everything else work better.

What Teams Are Saying

Since launching the integration in early access, we've heard from several pilot customers:

"The fact that we didn't have to set up a new schedule or train anyone on a new system? That's exactly what we needed. It just works."
"Before, our managers would forget to do the check if they came in early or got pulled into firefighting mode. Now the check shows up exactly when they need it. 30 minutes after they clock in. Game changer."

That's the goal: make doing the right thing effortless.

What's Next

This integration is just the beginning. We're already working on:

  • Multi-location filtering - Configure different check schedules for different store types
  • Shift handoff summaries - Automatically send a summary of the day's findings to the closing manager
  • Role-based micro-checks - Send different checks to opening vs. closing managers
  • More integrations - Toast POS, HotSchedules, Homebase, and more

The vision remains the same. Build daily operational habits without adding overhead.

Our Commitment

Every feature we build is guided by one question:

"Does this make it easier for managers to do the right thing, or does it add more work?"

The 7shifts integration passed that test. It removes friction, respects existing workflows, and delivers value exactly when it's needed.

That's the kind of product we're committed to building. One that runs alongside the tools you already use, that builds better habits instead of more overhead, and that turns daily ops into something managers actually want to do.

Ready to Try Peak Ops with 7shifts?

Get Started

This is what building with customer feedback looks like. Every pivot, every conversation, every "can you make it work with 7shifts?" request led to this moment.

We're just getting started.
