Push Operations review

Push Operations combines payroll, HR, scheduling and time tracking for restaurants, so it competes with a scheduler plus a payroll provider rather than with a scheduler alone. Every paid plan includes payroll, scheduling, time tracking, logbooks and integrations, with unlimited employees, administrators and locations. The Signature tier covers team scheduling with POS integrations, labor forecasting, labor cost controls, shift swapping, real-time compliance alerts, photo capture at clock-in and sales versus labor reports. Supreme adds auto scheduling, advanced forecasting, break compliance, tip automation and chat. Push states that pricing starts at $200 per month per location for up to 15 employees, but the page does not name the currency and several features reference provinces, so we list the price as pending and US buyers should confirm payroll coverage for their state. For a restaurant that would otherwise pay separately for scheduling and payroll, the bundle can make sense.
