GetUp vs 7shifts — which one runs your operation?
7shifts is a restaurant-specific workforce management platform covering scheduling, time tracking, payroll and tip pooling, built exclusively for the hospitality industry. GetUp is the all-in-one operations panel for any company running multiple brands or multiple locations: shifts, tablet check-in, payroll, multi-company invoicing, KSeF e-invoicing, procurement, an external accountant portal and a built-in AI assistant — sector-agnostic, sized for SMBs.
The verdict in two lines
7shifts is the stronger pick when you run restaurants in north america and pos-integrated scheduling is your core need. GetUp is the stronger pick when you operate in europe, poland or turkey — or outside north america.
The honest summary: they aren't the same shape. 7shifts is a workforce / shift specialist; GetUp is an operations panel for multi-brand / multi-location SMBs. Pick the one that matches the shape of your problem.

Common questions
- Is GetUp a 7shifts alternative?
- For European or multi-industry operations, yes. 7shifts is the best tool for North American restaurant scheduling with POS integration and tip pooling. Outside North America — or when invoicing, KSeF and multi-brand management matter — GetUp is the closer fit.
- 7shifts or GetUp for a restaurant group in Europe?
- GetUp. 7shifts is purpose-built for North American restaurant compliance; its payroll and integration stack thins significantly outside the US and Canada. GetUp's payroll and KSeF are built for EU, PL and TR markets.
- Does 7shifts work in Poland or the UK?
- 7shifts' scheduling works globally, but its payroll add-on is US and Canada only. KSeF (Polish e-invoicing) is not supported. European teams typically stitch together 7shifts with separate payroll and invoicing tools — which is exactly what GetUp eliminates.
- Pricing: 7shifts vs GetUp?
- 7shifts starts at $29.99 per location / month; payroll is a separate add-on. GetUp Starter is €69 flat / month for all modules. The maths depends on your location count.
- Can I migrate from 7shifts to GetUp?
- Yes — staff and shift history export from 7shifts as CSV and import into GetUp. Tip pooling workflows need to be rebuilt against GetUp's payroll module.
