C-store operations built by someone still running one.
SCAN compliance, OFC workflow, lottery reconciliation, fresh food logs, and multi-store scheduling — built by a 30-year 7-Eleven franchisee who is a current NBLC and ZLC member. $79/mo, unlimited locations.
How DohOps fits a convenience store operation
Six modules mapped to the daily compliance, ops, and staffing reality of a c-store franchise portfolio.
Age-Restriction Compliance
Track tobacco SCAN training, alcohol ID-check certification, and lottery handling for every employee. Block scheduling of uncertified staff on register shifts — before the compliance audit, not after.
Lottery Terminal Reconciliation
Opening activation, scratch ticket inventory, end-of-day pack count, and manager signoff — all in one photo-verified checklist. State gaming commission-ready documentation in 30 seconds.
Fresh Food & Hot Case Logs
Rotate roller grill, pull aged items, log hot case temps. Photo-verified with timestamps that satisfy the food service inspection your 7-Eleven or Circle K field consultant runs quarterly.
Vendor Receiving Checklists
Log every delivery — Pepsi, Frito-Lay, McLane, Core-Mark — with quantity, condition, and invoice match. Discrepancy flags go to the manager the same day, not when the month-end inventory count reveals a $400 shortage.
OFC & Inventory Management
Order/Fill/Count workflow built for 7-Eleven's model and adaptable for Circle K, Wawa, and independent chains. See real-time stock on fast-movers without a full inventory count.
Multi-Store Employee Scheduling
Schedule staff across 2–4 c-store locations in one view. Hours accumulate correctly for overtime. GPS clock-in confirms they're at the right store. Swap requests route to the manager, not the group chat.
What c-store operators see in week one
Outcomes from 7-Eleven, Circle K, and independent c-store operators who started with the free trial.
SCAN compliance documented in advance
A 7-Eleven franchisee uploaded tobacco SCAN certificates for all 14 register-eligible employees on day one. Two had expired certs. DohOps blocked them from being scheduled on register shifts and sent the 30-day renewal reminder automatically.
Vendor receiving discrepancy caught
A Circle K franchisee running photo-verified receiving checklists caught a $310 McLane short delivery on day 6. The timestamped photo of the delivery count vs. invoice was submitted directly to the vendor for credit — resolved in 48 hours.
Overnight labor dialed in
A 3-store operator found that overnight labor was running 38% of sales at one location — 10 points above the others. The scheduling dashboard showed two staff scheduled on overnight when one consistently handled the volume. One adjustment cut $1,100/month in OT.
Hot food log cleared field audit
A 7-Eleven franchisee used DohOps photo-verified hot case logs to satisfy the fresh food compliance section of their quarterly field consultant audit — full documentation pulled in under 2 minutes.
The pain we built this for
The NACS State of the Industry report consistently shows that c-store operators are under pressure from three directions at once: inside-store labor costs, shrink from age-restricted product mishandling, and the intensifying shift toward fresh and prepared food — which requires more labor and more compliance documentation than a candy rack ever did.
Running a 7-Eleven franchise means navigating the OFC (order-fill-count) system, fresh food rotation schedules, tobacco SCAN compliance, lottery terminal reconciliation, and quarterly field consultant audits — all while managing a crew that turns over at 70–80% annually. Most multi-unit franchisees in the 7-Eleven system are tracking this across spreadsheets, printed checklists, and text messages to store managers. That's a system that fails during the exact moments it matters most: the audit, the no-show, the expired SCAN cert.
The DohOps founder has been a 7-Eleven franchisee for over 30 years, serving on the NBLC and ZLC and as former President of the Greater Austin 7-Eleven Franchise Owners Association. He's personally navigated every compliance headache you're dealing with — and built the tools that would have saved him time and money at every step.
The "C-Store of the Future" concept that 7-Eleven and others are pushing — expanded fresh food, digital loyalty, expanded foodservice — only increases the operational complexity. You need a platform that scales with that complexity, not a spreadsheet held together by a manager who might quit next week.
At $79/month for unlimited locations, a 4-location 7-Eleven franchisee pays what they used to spend on a single time-tracking app — and gets scheduling, compliance documentation, hiring, training, and operations management in one system.
