A retention loop for restaurants

Restaurant turnover often begins with repeated bad shifts. HeyPulse gives GMs visibility into staffing, handoffs, manager support, and burnout.

Feedback that fits service work

Restaurant teams move fast and change shifts often. HeyPulse uses short texts instead of employee portals so feedback can happen without slowing service.

  • After-rush check-ins
  • Location and role filters
  • Manager alerts for critical scores

Import from restaurant systems

Start from CSV roster exports from restaurant scheduling, POS, payroll, or HRIS tools. Preserve roles and locations for segmented reporting.

  • 7shifts roster exports
  • Toast Payroll exports
  • Gusto, ADP, and Rippling CSVs
