Divvy vs 7shifts

Get deeper tip management than 7shifts Premium — at half the price

7shifts is excellent at scheduling, and its $135/month Premium tier (annual billing) does include tip pooling. But if tips are the heart of your payroll, you'll want more: flexible pooling methods, per-role tip-outs, IRS Form 8027 tracking, and direct-deposit payouts. Divvy is built around exactly that — for $69.

What Divvy adds that scheduling tools don't

These are the features your payroll team needs — beyond what a scheduling-first platform covers.

🔗
POS-native tip sync
Divvy pulls check totals and tips directly from Toast, Square, and Clover — not from manual entry or a CSV upload. Tip calculations run automatically every night.
💸
Direct-deposit tip payouts
With Payouts, staff receive their tips directly to their bank account via Stripe — no cash envelopes, no manual transfers, no post-shift headaches.
🏦
Tip Bank
Employees can hold credits and draw against future tips — giving your team financial flexibility that scheduling apps don't even consider.
📊
IRS Form 8027 tracking
Divvy tracks charged vs. cash tip ratios and generates Form 8027-ready reports — a compliance requirement that most scheduling tools completely ignore.
🎯
Flexible tip pooling
Even-split, by-hours, by-points, per-role — or keep-your-own. Divvy's pooling engine supports every method, with automatic tip-outs to support staff built in.
👤
Employee transparency portal
Every employee sees their own tip history, breakdown by pool, and payout status — reducing manager disputes and building trust with your team.

Common questions

Does Divvy replace 7shifts entirely?
It depends on your plan. Divvy Core ($39/mo) integrates with 7shifts — it reads clock-in/out data to calculate tip shares, but you keep using 7shifts for scheduling. Divvy Payouts ($69/mo) includes the full Scheduling Hub, so you can drop 7shifts and manage everything from one app.
Does 7shifts have tip management?
Yes — 7shifts includes tip pooling on its top-tier plans, and offers on-demand earned-tip access through a partner app. It's a solid option for simple pools. Where Divvy goes further: flexible pooling methods (points, hours, per-role, keep-your-own), automatic per-role tip-outs, cash tip tracking, direct-deposit payouts via Stripe, IRS Form 8027 reporting, and a Tip Bank. For restaurants where tips are a meaningful part of compensation, that depth matters.
What POS systems does Divvy work with?
Divvy integrates natively with Toast, Square, and Clover for tip sync. Clock-in/out data can be pulled from 7shifts, Sling, Deputy, WhenIWork, and Homebase for hours-based tip calculations.
How long does it take to switch from 7shifts to Divvy?
Most restaurants complete setup in under an hour. Connect your POS, configure your tip pools, and you're live. If you're keeping 7shifts, the integration takes minutes to enable in Settings.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — all plans include a free 14-day trial with no credit card required. You get full access to every feature during the trial period.
