Today, independent operators of JET and OMV stations also use the Dolgozz App. Our experiences from these collaborations clearly show how a well-designed digital system can integrate various operational tasks.
This article explores how Dolgozz App aids in digitalising processes for the daily operations of petrol stations.
A Petrol Station Combines Multiple Business Operations
A modern station must ensure fuel sales, shop operations, proper food storage, restroom cleanliness, equipment maintenance, and staff organisation.
This often occurs in multiple shifts, 24 hours a day.
For operators, the challenge is not just completing tasks but tracking who did what, when, and with what result.
Instead of paper checklists, separate Excel sheets, and phone calls, a central digital system offers much clearer operations.
1. Staff Scheduling and Attendance Tracking
Shift scheduling is crucial at petrol stations due to day, night, weekend, and holiday work.
With Dolgozz App, operators can:
-
Create and modify staff schedules.
-
Track work start and end times.
-
Review actual hours worked.
-
Manage staff across multiple stations.
-
Maintain digital records of work.
Thus, schedules and attendance data are accessible in one system.
2. Scheduled Cleaning and Restroom Checks
Cleanliness is crucial, especially at busy motorway stations.
Regular checks of restrooms and other areas are important for guest experience and operational standards.
Dolgozz App allows for scheduled tasks.
For example:
-
Restroom checks every two hours.
-
Cleaning tasks.
-
Checking consumables like soap and paper towels.
-
Documenting any issues.
-
Verifying completed tasks.
The system records task completion, allowing operators to review check histories.
No longer relying solely on verbal confirmation that cleaning occurred.
3. Hourly Technical Checks and Measurement Logs
Stations require regular checks, like recording barometer data hourly or checking technical conditions.
Dolgozz App handles more than simple checklists.
Numerical data can be recorded, such as specific measurement values in the digital log.
This is useful when documenting both the check and the measurement result is necessary.
4. Fridge Temperatures and Food Storage Checks
Proper operation of fridges in station shops is crucial.
Staff can record fridge temperatures at set intervals using Dolgozz App.
For example:
Shop – Fridge No. 2
-
Check time: 08:00
-
Measured temperature: 4.2 °C
-
Staff performing check: recorded
-
Check status: completed
Data are illustrative examples.
The digital log allows retrieval of past values and supports documentation of checks.
5. Product Placement and Contract Compliance Checks
Product placement in station shops often follows commercial agreements.
For instance, the specific fridge or shelf for a drink matters.
Dolgozz App checklists document these tasks.
Operators can specify which products and placements to check, requesting photo documentation if needed.
This simplifies adherence to internal commercial expectations and contractual placement rules.
6. Coffee Machine Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance of coffee machines are recurring tasks.
The system can define:
-
Daily cleaning tasks.
-
Scheduled maintenance tasks.
-
Checking specific parts.
-
Documenting cleaning and maintenance tasks.
Staff see tasks in the mobile app, complete them, and record completion.
Operators can easily review when tasks were completed for each machine.
7. Fault Reporting – When Something Breaks
Equipment can fail at any time at a station.
Whether it's a coffee machine, fridge, lighting, restroom, or other equipment, quick problem reporting is essential.
Dolgozz App's fault reporting feature allows staff to report issues directly in the system.
Reports are trackable, showing operators which faults are unresolved.
This is especially useful for businesses operating multiple stations, where handling faults may require collaboration among staff or external experts.
8. Night Patrols and Security Checks
Night checks are crucial for 24/7 motorway stations.
Dolgozz App supports documenting pre-defined check tasks and patrols.
Staff can be instructed on intervals and check points.
The system records checks and supports related alert processes.
This helps operators maintain documented information on night operations.
9. Multiple Stations, One Central System
For businesses operating multiple stations, it's crucial not to manage each station's data separately.
Dolgozz App offers centralised management of separate sites.
Schedules, attendance, tasks, checks, and fault reports are trackable on a unified platform.
Operators can easily review completed tasks and identify areas needing intervention.
10. Subcontractors, Inventory Management, and Custom Processes
Station operations often involve external service providers and suppliers.
Dolgozz App's subcontractor and inventory management features offer further digital solutions.
With custom development and supplier collaboration, processes can support ordering and tracking materials, oils, or other operational products.
The system's major advantage is that not every business needs to use the same functions.
Operators can select essential modules, with custom solutions for special needs.
What We Learned from Collaborating with JET and OMV Station Operators
Our key insight is that digitalising a station doesn't necessarily start with one major development.
Instead, operators identify daily tasks requiring the most organisation, checks, or administration.
For some, staff scheduling and attendance management are priorities. For others, regular cleaning tasks, temperature checks, or documenting night patrols pose greater challenges.
Our experiences with independent JET and OMV station operators confirmed that a truly useful system adapts to the business, not dictates its operations.
This is why we built Dolgozz App as a modular system.
Digitalisation Doesn't Mean Every Task Needs a New App
Operating a station doesn't necessarily require separate apps for time tracking, cleaning checks, and fault reporting.
These processes can be managed in a single system.
Dolgozz App aims to reduce the number of separate administrative interfaces for operators, making daily tasks more trackable and documentable.
Do You Operate a Petrol Station?
Whether you run a single station or manage multiple sites, see how Dolgozz App can aid daily organisation and checks.
You don't need to implement every module. We'll assess which tasks you want to digitalise and provide suitable solutions.
