Push Scheduling review
A sales-aware restaurant scheduler with strong labor planning and a high entry price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Push Scheduling is employee scheduling software for restaurants and hospitality teams. Managers can create shift templates, review availability and requests, publish schedules, and coordinate shift swaps or releases. Employees can view schedules, submit availability, request time off, and message their teams through the Push Employee mobile app. The product is offered on web, iOS, and Android, making it suitable for restaurants that want scheduling connected to labor and operating data.
The strongest fit is for teams that plan staffing against demand. Schedule views can use sales or guest counts, while labor-versus-sales forecasting, labor cost monitoring, KPI tracking, and real-time staffing insights help managers assess coverage. Approval workflows support shift swaps and releases, and schedule publication notifications keep employees informed. Signature adds team scheduling, POS integrations, labor forecasting, mobile-first team management, labor cost controls, and shift swapping. Supreme adds auto scheduling, advanced forecasting, multi-location employee linking, and a centralized enterprise dashboard. Enterprise adds BI Insights and employee engagement.
Essentials starts at $200 per location per month and is designed for single-location businesses with 15 employees or fewer. That makes the entry tier more suited to restaurants with a clear need for sales-linked planning than to small teams seeking a low-cost scheduler. The integration list includes Micros Systems, Squirrel Systems, PosiTouch, PixelPoint, Silverware, Aloha, Lavu, Brink, Clover, Flowerhub, Upserve, Veloce, Auphan, Greenline, and TouchBistro. Choose Push Scheduling when labor forecasting, POS connectivity, approvals, and staffing visibility matter; consider another option if a smaller team needs a lower starting cost or more employees within the entry plan.
