When 7shifts might suit you better
7shifts has deep restaurant-specific features (tip pooling, POS integrations, US labour compliance) that larger US hospitality groups value. If you need those, it’s a strong tool. WagePilot is built for UK restaurants that want flat per-site pricing, UK holiday law and a live cost board.
The cost as you grow
Per-seat pricing means every hire nudges the bill up. With WagePilot it stays flat. Here's the gap as the team grows.
See full pricing| Your team | Typical per-seat tool | WagePilot |
|---|---|---|
| 5 staff | ~£20/mo | Free |
| 10 staff | ~£40/mo | £10/mo |
| 25 staff | ~£100/mo | £10/mo |
| 50 staff | ~£200/mo | £18/mo |
Per-seat figures assume a typical ~£4/user/month all-in rate (many tools sit £3–£6/user). Indicative, for illustration.
