# The leaderboard — a monthly competition for your team > How the Leaderboard add-on counts bookings and revenue, who competes, what the team can see, when the winners are announced, and every setting it has. _Last verified: 2026-09-13. Source: https://bookodile.com/docs/leaderboard_ The Leaderboard is an add-on that turns each calendar month into a friendly competition between the people who take bookings. It is off until you switch it on, and like every add-on it is free and included. Customers never see any of it. Nothing about the leaderboard appears on your booking page. ## Switching it on Switch it on in **Settings → Leaderboard**. That one switch is the whole setup: it creates a competition called **Most bookings** — everyone who takes bookings, every service counting — and the race starts straight away. It also works out your **last twelve months from booking history**, so the Hall of fame is not empty on day one. Those months are labelled "Worked out from booking history" and nobody is emailed about them. A month in which nobody scored (before you took bookings in Bookodile) is left out. Switching it off hides the leaderboard and stops its email. The results are kept; switch it back on and they return. A month when it was off has no winner. ## What counts as a booking A **visit** counts once for each team member who did a service in it: - two services by the same person in one visit are **one** booking; - a service someone else did in that visit counts for **them**; - a visit counts once it has **started** — one booked for later in the month does not count yet; - **cancelled** visits and **no-shows** never count. A visit does not have to be marked as completed. A service left out of a competition (see below) counts for nobody in that competition. ## What counts as revenue The price each person's services were booked for, **after discount codes and vouchers** — the same figure the Revenue Split report uses. It is booked value, not money received, and **tips never count**. ## Who competes Everyone whose **role is listed as a service provider** competes. A role with that switched off — a receptionist, typically — never competes, but can still open the leaderboard and receives the results email. In **Who competes** you can switch any individual off to **sit them out**, for example an owner who works but would rather not be ranked. People who sit out keep their past titles. Someone deactivated part-way through a month still competes for the month they worked in. ## Competitions A branch can run **up to three** competitions, and each crowns its own winner every month. Each one has: - **Score by** — Bookings or Revenue. - **Who competes** — everyone who takes bookings, or only some **team member categories** (categories like Junior and Senior, from Settings → Members). - **Ranking** — with categories chosen: one ranking for all of them, or **a winner per category**, so people at different price levels never compete with each other. - **What counts** — every service counts unless you untick it, including services you add later. - **Name** — optional. Left empty, it shows the built-in name in each reader's own language. Settings offers two starting points besides the default: **Revenue, a winner per category**, and **Bookings for one category**. Both need team member categories with at least two people who take bookings in each. Changing a competition's rules re-scores the **current month**. Months that are already over keep their winners. Deleting a competition stops it from this month on; its past winners stay in the Hall of fame. ## When the month closes The month closes on the **1st at 10:00 in your business's time zone**. The results are frozen at that moment and never recalculated. - **Ties share first place.** Level at the top, both people win. - **Nobody scored, nobody wins.** - **Fewer than two people** in a competition or a category means no ranking and no winner that month. For the first three days of a new month, the leaderboard opens on the month that just closed, with the winners behind a single tap. ## The results email On the 1st, after the close, **everyone at the branch** gets an email with the winners of each competition, the runners-up and their own places — including team members who never sign in to Bookodile. - Each person can switch it off in **Settings → Notifications** (Monthly results). The same switch is on the Leaderboard settings page. - Someone without a sign-in can use the **stop link** at the bottom of the email, which switches off the same setting and offers a way to undo it. - It arrives in the reader's own dashboard language when they have an account, otherwise in your business's language. - **January's email** also names each competition's champion of the year. - The owner can switch the email off for the whole branch with **Email the results to the team**. Pausing customer notifications for the business pauses this email too. ## What the team can see - **Booking counts** are visible to everyone who can open the leaderboard. - **Revenue amounts** are hidden from the team by default: revenue competitions show who is ahead, not how much anyone took — and the bars go too, because bar lengths would give the amounts away. Each person always sees their own amount. - The owner, and anyone whose role can see all reports, always see everything. - **Show revenue amounts to the team** changes what is shown, so it applies straight away to every month, including past ones. Emails that were already sent stay as they were. ## The Hall of fame The **Hall of fame** tab adds up each month's winners, one competition at a time: the year's champion, a row of monthly winners (tap one to open that month), and who has the most titles. The **champion of the year** is whoever won that competition most often in the calendar year. A tie on titles goes to the higher total score in that competition over the year; still level, the title is shared. A run of three or more titles in a row is marked. ## Every setting | Setting | Where | What it changes | When left alone | |---|---|---|---| | Leaderboard (`addon_leaderboard_enabled`) | Settings → Leaderboard | Turns the add-on on or off | Off | | Competitions (`leaderboard_competitions`) | Settings → Leaderboard | What the team competes on; up to three | One: Most bookings, everyone, every service | | Score by (`metric`) | Competition | Bookings or revenue | Bookings | | Who competes (`participants`, categories) | Competition | Everyone who takes bookings, or chosen categories | Everyone | | Ranking (`ranking`) | Competition | One ranking, or a winner per category | One ranking | | What counts (left-out services) | Competition | Services that do not count | Every service counts | | Name | Competition | The label shown to the team | The built-in name, translated | | Who competes (sitting out) | Settings → Leaderboard | Takes someone out of every competition | Everyone who takes bookings competes | | Show revenue amounts to the team (`leaderboard_settings.team_sees_revenue`) | Settings → Leaderboard | Whether the team sees colleagues' revenue | Off | | Email the results to the team (`leaderboard_settings.email_team`) | Settings → Leaderboard | Whether the monthly email is sent | On | | Monthly results (`addon_leaderboard_results`) | Settings → Notifications, per person | Whether that person gets the email | On | ## Worked example A barbershop has three senior barbers and two juniors who charge less for the same cut. It keeps **Most bookings** for everyone — a junior who fits in more clients can win outright — and adds **Revenue, a winner per category**, so the seniors compete with each other on revenue and the juniors do too. The owner works a chair but sits out. A fitness studio with four trainers runs a single **Most bookings** competition, unticks the free introductory session so it doesn't count, and leaves revenue amounts hidden from the team. The trainers see who is closest to first place with a week to go; the email on the 1st names the winner. ## Limits - **Per branch.** Each branch runs its own leaderboard; there is no ranking across branches. - **Up to three competitions**, scored on bookings or revenue only. - **No adjustment for hours worked.** Someone away for half the month competes on the same numbers as everyone else. - **Revenue is booked value**, not payments received, and tips never count. - **History from before switching on uses today's rules and categories** — the past has no record of what they were. - **Frozen results are never recalculated**, even if a booking from a closed month is edited later.
