“Can a scheduling-first restaurant operations platform become the labor-cost control layer for growing hospitality chains?”
Pivot is a Montreal-based vertical SaaS company for restaurants and hospitality operators, founded in 2018. The product is an 'operational copilot' covering scheduling, time tracking, employee communications, and payroll preparation. It integrates with POS systems (Clover, etc.) and Canadian payroll providers (Nethris, Employeur D, Dayforce) rather than operating financial services itself. Note: this Montreal Pivot (pivotapp.ca) is distinct from the Paris-based procurement Pivot (pivotapp.ai) and the Indonesian Pivot Payment (pivot-payment.gitbook.io).
Pivot's payroll is powered by Nethris, Employeur D and Dayforce.
Pivot was founded by Yannick Farmer and Jérôme Séguin and is founded in 2018, headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
