What Push Operations is
Push Operations is a restaurant workforce platform for payroll, HR, scheduling, and staff management. It automates calculations for hourly and holiday pay and taxes, and advertises one-click payroll processing in under 10 minutes. Scheduling tools cover auto-generated schedules, shift swaps and releases, and time-off requests. Staff time can be recorded through mobile or tablet photo capture and facial recognition to help prevent buddy punching.
The Signature package lists digital onboarding, applicant tracking, turnover reporting, and tracking for license and visa expirations. Push also offers Manager, Employee, and Time apps for Apple and Android devices, alongside web access. Its listed POS integrations include Micros Systems, Squirrel Systems, PosiTouch, PixelPoint, Silverware, Aloha, Clover, Lightspeed, and Square. The API uses HTTPS bearer-token authentication, with tokens issued only to approved partners.
Push says it was designed for restaurant owners and managers and serves restaurants in the United States and Canada. The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. Starter is listed at $6 a month, billed monthly, with a five-employee minimum. Essentials is $200 a month per location, with a starting price for locations of 15 employees or fewer. Push has no free plan.
