What's inside Bonuses & Gamification

The full incentive stack — recognition, competition, and cash — integrated into one platform.

Live leaderboard

A real-time employee ranking by points earned, with visual podium highlighting the top three. Filter by store, position, and time period. Display it on a break-room screen or let employees check their ranking in the mobile app. Healthy competition that drives task completion without a single manager nudge.

Day streak rewards

Employees build day streaks for consecutive days of on-time clock-ins and completed assignments. Streaks are visible on the leaderboard next to each employee's name — publicly. The social visibility of a 22-day streak is a retention mechanism that costs nothing extra.

Milestone badges

Champion, Perfect Week, First Steps, Rising Star — badges trigger automatically when employees hit defined thresholds. They appear on the employee profile and on the leaderboard. No setup required; they activate the moment an employee earns them.

Manager-defined cash bonuses

Set bonus rules by assignment, score threshold, and dollar amount. 'Complete closing checklist with AI score above 75 = $5.00 bonus.' When an employee qualifies, the bonus is auto-calculated and placed in the payout queue for one-click approval. Bonuses tie directly to task completion — performance you can actually see and score.

Bonus payout queue

Every earned bonus sits in a queue with the employee name, assignment, score, and dollar value. The manager approves in bulk or individually. Approved bonuses roll into the payroll report as bonus pay, separate from regular and overtime wages. No reconciliation needed.

Assignments & bonuses report

A cross-location performance report showing completed tasks, average AI scores, total points earned, and bonus value per employee. Filter by time period and location. Use it to identify top performers to promote and underperformers to coach — before the next payroll cycle, not after.

Built for multi-unit reality

Turnover is the number-one cost driver in multi-unit operations. DohOps makes retention a system — not a guess.

Retention is math, not morale

Replacing a single hourly employee costs $1,500–$3,000 in recruitment, onboarding, and lost productivity. At 30 employees across three locations, even a 10% turnover reduction saves $4,500–$9,000 per year. The $79/mo price of DohOps pays for itself in one avoided replacement.

Performance you can see

Without the gamification layer, most managers guess who their best performers are. With it, the leaderboard tells you — by actual task completions, AI scores, and points earned over any time window. Promotion decisions become data-backed rather than manager-instinct-backed.

No separate tool needed

Competitors that add gamification do it through third-party plugins or bolt-on apps that employees have to download separately. DohOps gamification is native — points tie directly to assignments, AI scores, and clock-in streaks. The data is already there because it's the same platform tracking time and tasks.

Kudos & peer recognition

Beyond points and badges, the platform includes a Kudos system where managers and peers can send public recognition for specific behaviors. Recognition Center aggregates kudos, leaderboard position, and badge history in one place — the employee's personal performance record.

BONUSES & GAMIFICATION — Employees see live assignments and earn points with every completed task

What changes in week one

Day 1. You enable the Gamification System in Platform Features — one toggle. Points, leaderboards, and badges activate immediately. You also create your first bonus rule: complete the AM shift checklist with an AI score above 78 and earn $5.00. Both go live before the next morning shift.

Day 3. The leaderboard shows your first week's standings. One employee is sitting at 1,995 points with a 14-day streak. Three others are clustered around 1,300 points. You post the leaderboard on the break-room screen. Within 24 hours, the second-place employee completes two additional on-demand assignments they hadn't touched before.

Day 7. The bonus payout queue shows seven earned bonuses totaling $42.50. You approve them in two minutes. Three employees ask a store manager how they can earn more — they've started reading the assignment descriptions more carefully.

Day 30. Assignment completion rate is up 22% compared to the prior month when checklists were paper. The three lowest scorers from week one have improved their average AI score by 11 points. One employee who was a marginal performer has a 28-day streak and is your top leaderboard position. You now have data for their next performance review.

Bonuses & Gamification — FAQ

How do manager-defined bonuses work?+
Managers set bonus rules based on assignment performance — for example, 'earn $5.00 for completing the AM shift checklist with an AI score above 80.' When an employee's submission meets the criteria, the bonus is automatically calculated and placed in the Bonus Payout Queue. The manager reviews the queue, clicks approve, and the bonus is recorded. No spreadsheet, no separate calculation, no chasing down who earned what. The entire bonus cycle is inside DohOps.
What does the leaderboard show and who can see it?+
The leaderboard ranks every employee by points earned during a configurable time window — today, this week, this month, all time, or a custom range. It shows each employee's total points, badge count, assignment completions, and current day streak. Managers can display it on a break-room screen or let employees check their own standing in the app. Rankings are filterable by store and position so the convenience store crew sees their own board, not the hotel's.
What are the badge types and how are they earned?+
DohOps ships with milestone badges including Champion, Perfect Week, First Steps, and Rising Star — each triggered by specific performance thresholds like completing a set number of assignments, maintaining a streak, or hitting a points target. Badges are visible on the employee's profile and on the public leaderboard. They cost nothing extra and don't require any setup — they activate automatically as employees hit the milestones.
Does gamification actually reduce turnover or is that just a marketing claim?+
The 20% retention boost is the claimed benefit from the Platform Features module. The mechanism is documented in behavioral research: employees who see visible progress, receive public recognition, and earn tangible rewards for good performance are measurably less likely to leave voluntarily. For multi-unit operators, even a 10% reduction in turnover is significant — the cost of recruiting, hiring, and training a single hourly employee typically runs $1,500–$3,000. At 30+ employees across multiple locations, the math compounds quickly.
Can I use bonuses without gamification, or run gamification without bonuses?+
Yes. The two modules are separately toggleable in Platform Features. Some operators run points and leaderboards without any cash bonus — the recognition alone drives behavior. Others skip gamification entirely and use the bonus engine as a straightforward performance-pay tool. The most effective setups combine both: points and badges for daily motivation, cash bonuses for milestone completions.
