    How milestone celebrations work in Dumpster Controls

    Confetti and a congratulations dialog mark the moments that matter: your first order, each new level, and your first payment. Here is exactly when they fire.

    1. 1

      Recognize a celebration

      Two bursts of confetti fill the screen and a small centered dialog appears with a party emoji, a bold title, a short message, and a "Keep going" button. It never blocks your work: click the button or anywhere outside to dismiss it.

    2. 2

      First order

      Creating your company's first real order shows "First order in the books!" with the message "Your company just created its first order in Dumpster Controls. This is where the operation starts rolling."

    3. 3

      New levels

      Landing exactly on a level threshold (10, 20, 30, and so on) shows "Your company is now {name}!" with "New level unlocked: {name}. Tap your level badge on the dashboard to see the whole ladder."

    4. 4

      First payment

      Your first completed payment through the app triggers "First payment received!" with "Your first payment of {amount} is in. Money flowing through your own system." It appears on your next dashboard visit after the payment confirms.

    What happens next

    • Each celebration fires exactly once per company, ever. Refreshing, switching devices, or having teammates online does not repeat the party.
    • Sample "DEMO-" orders never trigger celebrations.
    • Jumping past a threshold (for example importing 30 orders at once) unlocks the levels silently; they appear checked in the "Company levels" dialog without a retroactive party.
    • The setup checklist has its own smaller confetti each time one of its five steps turns green; see the Getting Started guide.

    Troubleshooting

    I expected a celebration and nothing happened.

    Check the "Company levels" dialog first: if the level shows a green check, it was already recorded (possibly unlocked quietly by a jump past the threshold, or earned earlier by a teammate's session). Celebrations never repeat.
