Bar operations built for the hours after midnight.
AI Assistant at the core
DohOps is a bar and nightlife scheduling and operations app: schedule bartenders, barbacks, servers and security by position on shifts that run past midnight, clock in on a shared kiosk, and prove opening, closing and cash drop checks with photos. $99/month for unlimited venues with 8 users included ($8 per extra user), DohOps AI included, set up in under an hour.
How DohOps fits a bar operation
Six ways DohOps maps to the late-night staffing, cash and compliance reality of a bar or nightlife venue.
Late-night scheduling
Shifts that run past midnight, close crews and next-day openers in one schedule. Bartender, barback, server, door and security as separate positions, each with its own pay rate.
Alcohol-service certificates
Keep each person's TABC, TIPS or other responsible-service certificate with their documents, and assign training courses with due dates. DohOps does not block uncertified staff from shifts yet, so check before you publish.
Cash drop checklists
Build drawer-pull, safe-count and opening-bank checklists with a photo and time stamp for each step, so a variance can be narrowed to the window between two counts.
Security coverage
Door, floor and parking security as their own positions on the schedule, so a gap on Friday night is visible on Wednesday. A late alert goes out when someone has not clocked in.
Events and private parties
Schedule event shifts by position next to your regular nights and publish them to phones with a reminder before each shift.
Opening and closing checklists
Bar setup, ID station setup, wells cleaned, coolers restocked and doors locked, each with a photo that DohOps AI can score and a manager reviews the next morning.
Walk every venue the same way, and hear from your crew
Your own weighted audit for each venue, a fix-it task for every miss, and Pulse surveys your staff can answer anonymously.
Store audits for every venue
Build your own weighted audit checklist for a walk-through: ID station, wells, back bar, restrooms and exits. Each item is Pass, Fail or N/A or scored in points, with photos and notes, and key items can be marked Critical. DohOps works out the score, answers lock when you submit, and you see every venue's score and trend.
A fix-it task for every miss
Each audit miss can make a fix-it ticket for the venue, and so can a closing checklist rejected or sent back with the fix-it tick on (the default): the reason, due in 24 hours, assigned to the venue's manager and assistant manager. Closing it takes a short note.
Pulse surveys
Ask your crew 1 to 5 quick questions after a big weekend, by position or venue, named or anonymous. Staff get a notification and a card on My Tasks. Anonymous answers are kept with no name, venue or time, and results show only after the survey closes with 3 or more answers. A named survey shows who has not answered yet.

Cash drops with time stamps
Every drawer pull and safe count logged with a photo and the time it happened.
Who clocked in late or stayed
The clock-vs-schedule report shows early clock-ins, late arrivals and people who stayed past their relief.
The pain we built this for
Bars carry risks most hospitality businesses don't: alcohol-service liability, late-night cash, security gaps and licensing, all packed into the hours between 9 PM and 2 AM, when the manager is busy running the floor.
Responsible-service certificates are a license issue. Serving through an uncertified employee can cost you, and certificates kept in a folder at one location are hard to produce during an inspection. DohOps keeps them with each person's documents, next to their training.
Cash is the other exposure. When a variance shows up at close, the question is not only who but when. Drawer pulls and safe counts logged with photos and time stamps narrow it to the window between two counts.
DohOps was built by Vikas Sharma, a multi-unit operator who has spent 30 years turning struggling stores and hotels into top performers. He is a member of 7-Eleven's NBLC and ZLC and a former President of the Greater Austin 7-Eleven Franchise Owners Association, and his own stores run on DohOps today: see the numbers in the case study.
One honest note: DohOps does not calculate tips or tip-outs, does not count inventory and does not connect to your POS. It schedules your staff, tracks their hours and keeps your checklists, at $99/month for unlimited venues and 8 users ($8 per extra user), with DohOps AI included.
