POS updates


1. Advance order changes :
  1. You can now seamlessly settle advance orders under the due payment type.
  2. While we've made progress with this update, please note that you can only settle the full order amount in due payment type.
2. Advance order KOT print : 
  1. To optimize kitchen operations and avoid unnecessary KOT print, we've made a change regarding advance orders. Now, the KOT will be printed automatically when you click "start preparing" from the advance order section or manually request KOT print from KOT section.
  2. This adjustment aims to streamline processes while ensuring efficient kitchen management.
3. Item-wise tax print on bill :

4. Introduction of Marketplace services : 

  1. We're thrilled to announce the addition of the marketplace section to our POS platform. Our goal in incorporating this feature is to enhance visibility and awareness of the additional services available to you. We believe that this addition will provide you with greater accessibility to a wide range of offerings, ultimately enriching your experience with our platform.



5. Search by advance order slip number : 
  1. We're excited to announce that you can now easily search for any advance orders in the orders section by directly entering the slip number.
6. Visibility of Addons on cart screen : 
  1. We've made an improvement to the billers' experience by displaying addons directly on the item cart screen. Previously, billers were unable to view addons added to any item in the cart, leading to additional clicks and potential inefficiencies. With this update, we aim to streamline the process and enhance usability, allowing billers to easily view all addons without navigating to separate screens.
7. Set 'Other' payment type as default : 
  1. We've introduced a new feature that allows you to set the "Other" payment type as the default option. This enhancement is designed to streamline the billing process, reducing the number of steps required to complete transactions on the POS.
  2. By making the "Other" payment type the default selection, we aim to improve efficiency and convenience for users, ultimately enhancing their overall experience with the system.
8. Set group-wise menu for each counter : 
  1. We're pleased to announce that you can now assign a specific menu group to each billing counter, tailored to your outlet's setup. This new feature allows for greater customization, empowering you to optimize your workflow and enhance efficiency.
  2. By assigning menu groups to billing counters, you can streamline operations, improve order accuracy, and deliver a more seamless experience for both staff and customers.

9. Displaying item-wise instructions : 
  1. A new feature has been added that provides greater visibility and control over item level instructions.
    1. Now, if received, these instructions will be prominently displayed, allowing for easier reference and ensuring clarity in order preparation. Additionally, you have the option to include these instructions on the KOT print, further enhancing communication between kitchen staff and ensuring accurate execution of orders.



10. Open quantity & price popup : 
  1. For the keyboard view in the POS, we have now enabled the open quantity & price pop-up. 



11. KOT complete duration : 

  1. We're excited to introduce a new calculation method for the "KOT complete duration," aimed at enhancing accuracy and efficiency in order processing. Moving forward, the system will prioritize the "mark food ready" timestamp for calculation. However, if this information is unavailable, the bill print date and time will be utilized.

  2. In scenarios where the food ready time is not recorded, the system will compute the KOT complete duration by subtracting the KOT creation time from the bill print date. Conversely, if the food ready time is available, the duration will be calculated as the difference between the food ready time and the KOT creation time.


Owner's Dashboard updates


1. Menu trigger logs :
  1. In the event of a menu trigger failure due to the third-party QC process, an email notification will now be automatically sent to the user who initiated the trigger.

  1. Moving forward, Zomato will be overseeing menu moderation for item images. This means that any images added will undergo thorough quality checks by the Zomato review team to ensure consistency and accuracy. In the event of any rejections, users will be promptly notified via email. This proactive approach ensures that only high-quality images are showcased, enhancing the overall user experience.
  2. The rejection changes will also be visible under the Menu trigger logs.
