Case Study: Shawn & Ed Brewing achieves simplified scheduling and streamlined event management with 7shifts

How Shawn & Ed Brewing Simplified Scheduling and Event Management

Shawn & Ed Brewing Co., a craft brewery in Dundas, Ontario, operates a taproom and hosts about 25 events per month out of a historic building, which created far more scheduling complexity than typical breweries. They were managing shifts with printed Excel schedules that required staff to come in just to see their hours, making staffing and communication inefficient.

The brewery adopted 7shifts’ intuitive platform and mobile apps to build and publish schedules, auto-calc overtime, centralize team chat, and let employees submit availability, swap shifts, and claim open shifts. The result: streamlined communication and time tracking, reliable staffing for 25 monthly events, an average of 25 shift swaps per month, and enough manager time saved to focus on marketing and PR.
