Coverdash and 7shifts Make Workers’ Compensation a Seamless Part of Restaurant Payroll
New York, NY — October 14th, 2026 — Coverdash, a leading embedded insurance provider powering insurance experiences across leading payroll, financial, and business platforms, today announced a partnership with 7shifts, the leading restaurant HR platform built specifically for restaurants, to bring pay-as-you-go Workers’ Compensation directly into 7shifts Payroll.
Trusted by restaurant operators to manage their teams and day-to-day operations, 7shifts helps operators hire, train, schedule, pay, and retain their team in one easy-to-use platform. With the new integration, 7shifts Payroll customers can opt in to Workers’ Compensation during signup and, once they run their first payroll, purchase coverage with a single click using their actual payroll data, all without leaving 7shifts.
Through Coverdash, restaurant owners can compare Workers’ Compensation quotes from 40+ carriers, purchase coverage, and instantly access and download Certificates of Insurance (COIs), all within the 7shifts experience.
Workers’ Compensation Built Around Restaurant Payroll
Restaurants can have significant fluctuations in payroll throughout the year due to hourly employees, seasonal staffing, and frequent hiring and turnover. Traditional Workers’ Compensation policies are typically priced using estimated annual payroll, which can lead to higher upfront costs and adjustments when actual payroll is reconciled.
Coverdash’s pay-as-you-go model connects Workers’ Compensation premiums directly to payroll data from 7shifts. Instead of relying solely on an annual estimate, premiums adjust as actual payroll changes throughout the year.
“Restaurant operators already rely on 7shifts to manage their entire HR workflow and payroll, so adding Workers’ Compensation to that workflow is a natural fit,” said Jordan Boesch, CEOat 7shifts. “Partnering with Coverdash gives operators a simpler, more flexible way to manage coverage as their business changes.”
“Restaurant payroll can change significantly throughout the year, but Workers’ Compensation has traditionally been built around an annual estimate,” said Bobby Jones, Head of Partnerships at Coverdash. “By connecting coverage directly to 7shifts Payroll, we’re making it easier to get covered and keep premiums aligned with actual payroll.”
The partnership builds on Coverdash’s experience embedding insurance into the platforms businesses already use to run their operations. By bringing Workers’ Compensation into 7shifts, Coverdash is extending that model to one of the most operationally complex segments of the small business market - restaurants.
