Restaurant scheduling built for FOH, BOH, and everything between.
Position-level scheduling, FLSA tip-credit tracking, section assignments, and line check logs for TGI Friday's, Applebee's, and IHOP franchisees. One platform, both sides of the kitchen. $79/mo, unlimited locations.
How DohOps fits a full-service restaurant
Six modules for the two-floor reality of running a casual-dining franchise portfolio.
FOH/BOH Scheduling by Position
Schedule servers, hosts, runners, line cooks, prep, and dish separately. See coverage for both floors in one view. Know before the dinner rush whether you're short a food runner — not after the expo is screaming.
Tip Credit & FLSA Tip Pool Tracking
Track tipped hours separately, flag below-minimum situations in tip-credit states, and produce FLSA-compliant per-employee pay records every period. Documentation the Department of Labor wants to see — ready in seconds.
Section & Side Work Assignments
Servers get their table section and side work list in the app at shift start. Digital record of every assignment — no more verbal "I told you to do the salt shakers" disputes at close.
Line Checks & Prep Lists
Photo-verified line check before dinner service. Prep list tasks assigned to each cook with quantity targets. Both logged, timestamped, and reportable for ServSafe and health department inspections.
Table Turn & Labor Analytics
Labor-as-a-percent-of-sales by shift and daypart. See how your lunch turn rate compares to your dinner service. Identify the Friday PM shift that's running 38% labor because one too many servers is on the floor.
Rotating Server & Cook Templates
Build your standard Tuesday/Friday/Weekend schedule patterns once and roll them forward. Staff see their schedules on mobile. Swap requests and time-off go through the app, not the manager's personal cell.
What restaurant operators see in week one
Outcomes from casual-dining franchisees who started with the 30-day free trial.
Tip-credit compliance caught early
A 3-location casual-dining franchisee discovered that one tipped employee in a tip-credit state had averaged below the applicable minimum wage for 6 consecutive pay periods — a FLSA violation waiting to happen. DohOps flagged it on week one. The issue was corrected before any complaint was filed.
FOH understaffing identified before service
Scheduling by position (not headcount) revealed that a Saturday dinner service had 8 cooks on the BOH schedule but only 5 servers — not enough to turn 140 covers. The manager added 2 servers before service started. Average table turn time improved by 8 minutes that night.
Line check logged, health inspection passed
Photo-verified pre-service line checks for 90 consecutive days of operation let an IHOP franchisee produce a complete food safety documentation record during an unannounced county health department inspection — pulled in under 3 minutes.
NRA-style compliance reporting ready
A 2-location Applebee's franchisee uses DohOps to produce the labor compliance and employee certification reports required for their franchisor's annual operations review — cutting 4 hours of manual report prep down to 20 minutes.
The pain we built this for
Full-service restaurants have a labor problem that quick-service operators don't: you're managing two completely different workforces — front of house and back of house — with different pay structures, different compliance obligations, and different scheduling rhythms. A server who calls in sick affects your table coverage; a prep cook who calls in affects your menu execution. Most scheduling tools treat them the same, which means you're always flying blind on one side of the kitchen.
Tip-credit states add a compliance layer that casual-dining franchisees underestimate. Under the FLSA, tipped employees must receive a cash wage — even at the reduced tipped minimum of $2.13/hour federally — that combined with their tips equals at least the applicable minimum wage. Failing to track this per employee per pay period exposes you to back-wage liability. The National Restaurant Association (NRA) estimates that wage-and-hour violations are the single largest legal risk facing the full-service restaurant industry. DohOps tracks tip-credit hours and flags shortfalls automatically.
Table turnover is the other financial lever. Most casual-dining operators are targeting 1.5–2.0 turns per table per service period. Getting there requires that every server is in their section on time, every side work task is completed before the rush, and the closing crew finishes by a time that doesn't cost you double overtime. DohOps handles all three with photo-verified assignments and real-time labor dashboards.
TGI Friday's, Applebee's, and IHOP franchisees are operating under brand standards that include regular operations reviews with detailed labor and compliance documentation requirements. Having that documentation automated — not assembled manually before every review — is the difference between a smooth audit and an all-hands scramble.
