Push Operations report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for single restaurants with up to 15 staff
Push covers scheduling, time tracking, payroll and HR for restaurants. But the entry price is $200 a month per location, and the other plans are quote-only.
Who Push Operations is for
- Fits if you run a restaurant of up to 15 staff and want payroll and HR in the same tool
- Works for operators who want POS-linked scheduling and are fine with a quote
Who Push Operations is not for
- Pricey if you have a small team, because $200 a month per location is the floor
- Skip it if you need auto scheduling, as it is on the Supreme plan
- Not for you if you have over 50 staff and want a published price
- Watch out: plans can't be customised, and no trial is named
Why Push Operations gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money$200 a month per location for up to 15 employees. For one person or a team of five that is far above the category's middle of $24.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan, and the page names no trial; billing starts on the day you sign.
- BFeaturesScheduling, POS integrations, time tracking, payroll, hiring and reporting. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Payroll and POS links need setup.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only on the listing, with no integrations named, though POS links are mentioned.

Keep Push Operations, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Push Operations you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 49 other shift scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $2,400 a year.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking, time off and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts.
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Push Operations’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Push Operations?
Push is workforce software aimed at restaurants and other hospitality businesses. It combines team scheduling, time tracking with photo capture, payroll, hiring and onboarding, and labor reporting. Scheduling connects to POS systems for sales and labor forecasts, and staff handle shifts and swaps from a mobile app.
Worth knowing
- Only the Essentials price is published; Signature, Supreme and Enterprise prices come from a quote, and teams over 50 employees are asked to request one.
- The $200 starting price is per location per month, and goes up with plan and employee count.
- Push bills on the day of signing and monthly after that; the page names no free trial.
- Add-ons can be bought, but the services in each plan cannot be customized.
Key features
- Team scheduling
- Scheduling with labor forecasting, labor cost controls, shift swapping and compliance alerts; auto scheduling is on the Supreme plan.
- POS integrations
- Connects to POS systems so sales and labor data feed forecasts and reports, including sales versus labor.

- Hiring and HR
- Paperless digital onboarding, an applicant tracking system, turnover reporting and license and visa expiry tracking.
- Reporting
