What's New

Retail

  1. Bottle Deposit is being added as a Product/Item option. Bottle Deposit is a deposit on beverage containers, including those for alcoholic beverages dedicated configuration has been introduced in the Back Office, allowing store administrators to set up and manage bottle deposit rules, including deposit amounts, applicable product categories, and store-level settings. This configuration ensures flexibility and control over how bottle deposits are applied across different store environments. On the POS side, the bottle deposit is now seamlessly integrated into the sales transaction flow. When a bottle deposit-eligible item is added to the cart, the corresponding deposit amount is automatically applied and reflected in the transaction, ensuring accurate billing at the point of sale.
    1. In addition, the necessary report impacts have been addressed as part of this release. The bottle deposit amounts are now captured and represented in the relevant sales and transaction reports, providing clear visibility into deposit collections and supporting accurate end-of-day reconciliation.

  2. The 86 List feature is being added. The 86 List is a centralized inventory control mechanism that allows store administrators to configure and maintain the available count of specific items directly from the Back Office (BO). Once an item is added to the 86 List with a defined quantity, the system actively tracks its availability across the store.
    1. When an item included in the 86 List is sold at any POS terminal, the available count is automatically decremented in real time across all POS terminals within the same store. This ensures that every cashier has an up-to-date view of item availability, regardless of which terminal the sale was processed on.
    2. Once the item count reaches zero, the item is flagged as unavailable, preventing further sales of that item across all POS terminals.

Kiosk

  1. The Half & Half Specialty Pizza feature is being added, which enables customers to select two different flavors for each half of the pizza.

Enhancements

POS

  1. The serving size level of a Half-and-Half pizza can be changed without voiding or canceling the already-placed Half-and-Half menu item. Also, you can modify the Left and/or Right halves while keeping the existing Half-and-Half selection active.
  2. The Tip Suggestion values on receipts are calculated based on the total or subtotal selection configured in the back office for tip suggestions, and the amounts are accurately displayed on the front-end across both receipt templates, including copies for both the customer and merchant, as well as itemized receipts.
  3. You can now sort checks on the Check Status screen chronologically by Time Open (oldest to newest or vice-versa) across all tabs.
  4. POS Retheming with Updated Branding - Enhances POS and CDS interfaces by updating text, animations, and incorporating the new default blue theme, ensuring consistent application of the updated brand color across all screens.
