ShiftIQ review
A focused restaurant analytics suite for teams balancing labor, waste and delivery performance.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ShiftIQ is an AI-powered operational intelligence platform for UK hospitality operators managing staffing, sales, waste and compliance. It is aimed at QSR franchise operators, casual dining chains, independent multi-location groups, ghost kitchens and hospitality management companies. The web dashboard combines AI shift scheduling, staff performance intelligence, POS and delivery-platform analytics, stock and waste optimisation, checklist automation, compliance history exports and multi-store benchmarking. That breadth makes it relevant to teams that want operational signals in one place rather than separate tools for labor, delivery and food-cost oversight.
Pricing is organized by site and billed monthly. Starter costs £35 per site per month and includes AI shift scheduling, compliance checklists, a single-brand dashboard and email support. Professional costs £75 per site per month, adding Performance Intelligence, aggregator sales analytics, waste optimisation and priority support. Business & Enterprise costs £130 per site per month and adds the Performance Correlation Engine, multi-store benchmarking, dedicated success management and custom integrations. A Premium Analytics Add-on costs £8 per site per month, while Onboarding & Setup costs £500 one time. There is no free plan, so the product is better suited to operators with a defined budget for ongoing site-based software.
Its ecosystem covers Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat, Square, Lightspeed and Epos Now, supporting restaurant groups that already rely on those delivery or POS platforms. The strongest differentiator is the connection between shift staffing, waste, delivery demand and revenue, while compliance checklists and exportable history add operational structure. However, access is limited to the web, and the more advanced correlation, benchmarking and custom-integration capabilities sit in the highest tier. Choose ShiftIQ if your priority is coordinating labor, food cost and delivery data across one or more sites; choose a narrower alternative if you only need scheduling or POS reporting.
