Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 0 of the 49 other shift scheduling apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Push Operations, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for single restaurants with up to 15 staff
Push covers scheduling, time tracking, payroll and HR for restaurants.
- 2
Paid plans start at $200 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $200 per month per location for up to 15 employees.
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
Team scheduling
Scheduling with labor forecasting, labor cost controls, shift swapping and compliance alerts; auto scheduling is on the Supreme plan.
- 5
POS integrations
Connects to POS systems so sales and labor data feed forecasts and reports, including sales versus labor.
- 6
Time tracking
Time tracking with photo capture to prevent buddy punching, and e-sign for forms.
- 7
A 1.6 GPA, above 0 of 49
That is against the other shift scheduling apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $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. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan, and the page names no trial; billing starts on the day you sign. |
| Features | B | Scheduling, POS integrations, time tracking, payroll, hiring and reporting. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Payroll and POS links need setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only on the listing, with no integrations named, though POS links are mentioned. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Restaurant groups wanting scheduling and payroll in one system
- Single-location restaurants with up to 15 staff
- Operators who compare labor cost against POS sales
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
