This update includes performance improvements, new features, and bug fixes to enhance the efficiency and reliability of your Retail Point of Sale (POS) and Restaurant Operating System.


What's New

Retail

  1. Retail FOH UI Enhancements – This task focuses on improving the Front of House (FOH) user interface within the Retail POS system. It includes Quantity indicator and remove option Enhancements include refining the item selection screen layout, improving navigation flow, updating visual components for better usability, and ensuring consistent and intuitive experience for staff. The goal is to reduce friction in day-to-day operations and improve transaction speed at the point of sale.
  2. Tap To Scan (Tablet) – This new option is being added to the Search bar in POS, giving you a faster and more convenient way to add items to an order. When this option is selected, the device's camera will automatically launch through the path finder. Once the camera is active, simply point it at the barcode of the desired item to scan it. Upon a successful scan, the system will recognize the item and automatically add it to the order screen, ready for further processing. This feature aims to streamline the order creation process, reduce manual entry errors, and improve overall efficiency at the point of sale, eliminating the need to manually search for or select items from a list.
  3. EBT Balance On Receipts – The system will display the customer's EBT balance on the receipt after an EBT transaction is processed. Once payment is completed using an EBT card, the remaining available balance will be printed on the receipt, allowing customers to easily track their EBT funds without needing to check separately. This enhancement improves transparency and convenience for customers using EBT as a payment method.
  4. Partial Quantity Void – The Partial Quantity Void option will allow you to void a specific quantity of an item rather than removing the entire line item. When an order contains an item with multiple units, you will have the ability to select and void only a portion of that quantity, while the remaining quantity stays in the order. This gives cashiers more flexibility and accuracy when correcting orders, especially in cases where only some units of an item need to be removed instead of the entire quantity.
  5. Allow Negative Inventory – This new feature enables the POS system to permit sales of an item even when its stock quantity is insufficient or has reached zero. When the Allow Negative Inventory toggle is enabled in the Back Office (BO), you will be able to complete a sale for an item beyond its available inventory, allowing the stock count to go into negative values. This provides greater flexibility for businesses that need to continue processing sales without being blocked by inventory restrictions, while still tracking the resulting negative stock for reconciliation purposes.
  6. Item Void For Retail – This functionality will allow you to void individual items directly from an active receipt. In cases where a receipt is associated with multiple checks, you will be able to select and void a specific item without affecting the other items or checks linked to that receipt. This provides greater control and accuracy when managing orders, particularly in split-check or multi-check scenarios, ensuring that corrections can be made at the item level without disrupting the rest of the transaction.

Online Ordering

  1. Configurable Payment Rounding in Online Ordering – Online Ordering has been enhanced to support Payment Rounding for Pay at Store Cash transactions based on the rounding denomination configured in Back Office. The Cash Rounding amount is displayed as a separate line item on the payment page and included in the Final Total. The rounding adjustment is also reflected in the Order History screen and Order Confirmation email. For Partial Payment orders, the existing payment flow is retained, and any applicable cash rounding is processed in POS.

Enhancements

POS

  1. Configurable Cash Rounding – The Configurable Cash Rounding feature enables the POS to automatically round the total check amount based on the cash rounding rules configured in the Back Office. This functionality applies only to cash payments.
  2. Final Total Display in CDS – The system should display the final total amount, inclusive of the selected tip, as the primary value in the CDS Total field to ensure consistency and transparency throughout the payment process. The Overall Total field should be removed from the CDS screen. On the CDS Tip screen, when a tip is selected, the displayed total should include both the tip amount and the original total amount.
  3. Loyalty Balance Display on CDS – Customers should be able to view their current loyalty balance on the CDS screen whenever a loyalty customer is attached to an order. The loyalty information displayed on CDS must be consistent with the loyalty information shown on the POS. 
  4. Auto Advance After Tip Selection – The CDS will automatically proceed to the payment process once a customer selects a tip percentage, reducing the number of required interactions and improving transaction efficiency.
  5. Hide Included Modifiers In POS And CDS – This feature introduces a configurable option to control the visibility of included modifiers in both POS Station and CDS. When enabled, included modifiers are hidden by default, and only those modified are displayed. Unchanged included modifiers remain hidden, providing a cleaner and more streamlined order display. When the toggle is disabled, the existing behavior is retained, where all included modifiers are displayed.
  6. Offline Payment Enhancements – On POS Station, Offline Payments remain enabled until the Close Day process, after which they are automatically disabled, and you must acknowledge liability before enabling the feature. On GO mobile devices, Offline Payments remain disabled by default and once enabled, stay active until they are manually disabled.

Administrators can enable the feature and manage advertisement content from Back Office. Any customer interaction stops the advertisements and resumes the order from the exact point where it was left.
  2. KIOSK Alternate Modifiers in Separate Lines – A new formatting option has been introduced to display removed included modifiers and their alternate (substitute) modifiers on separate lines, improving readability on KIOSK and kitchen prints. When enabled, removed modifiers are shown with the No prefix and substitute modifiers with the Sub prefix, with no changes to existing ordering, pricing, or modifier logic.
  3. KDS Recall Enhancement – The KDS Recall feature has been enhanced to display all recalled orders on a single scrollable screen, eliminating the need for Prev/Next navigation. You can now recall entire orders or specific menu items directly from both Expo and Serve KDS, improving efficiency and providing greater control over item-level recalls without affecting other items in the order.
  4. Custom App: Email Verification On Sign Up – A new email verification process has been introduced for customer sign-up in the Custom App. During account creation, customers will receive a one-time passcode (OTP) via email to verify their email address before completing registration, while existing customers can continue to sign in without additional verification.
  5. Custom App: Factor 4 ImplementationFactor4 gift card payment has been added to the Custom App, providing the same functionality as the Online Ordering Web Page. When enabled in Back Office, customers can use their Factor4 card during checkout, and the configured payment name will be reflected across the app, POS, receipts, reprints, and email receipts, with card numbers masked except for the last four digits.
  6. Updated Branding in KIOSK and KDS – The splash screens in both KIOSK and KDS have been updated to display the new company logo, providing a refreshed and consistent branding experience across the applications.
  7. Queue App Enhancement – The Queue App has been enhanced to provide real-time synchronization of order statuses with KDS EXPO and POS actions. Orders that are voided will be removed immediately, and recalled orders will automatically move back to Preparing Orders, ensuring accurate order visibility without requiring an application restart.

Inventory

  1. Transaction Date Based Reporting – The ability to sort various Inventory related reports by Transaction Date (in addition to the existing Business Date).
  2. 4-Decimal Place Values for Retail and Menu Item Inventory – Various Retail and Menu item related Inventory screens are having 4-decimal values being implemented.

Payments

  1. Itemized Receipt for Terminals – Itemized Merchant/Customer copies and Front End receipts can be printed from the terminal based on BO and POS settings.

Online Ordering

  1. Delivery/Pickup Hours Option Removal – The Online Ordering application has been enhanced to automatically hide the Delivery Hours, Pickup Hours, and Store Hours text on the Menu page when the corresponding Enable Delivery or Enable Pickup toggle is disabled, or when the respective service or store is closed based on the hours configured in the Admin page.
  2. Future Order Hours – The Online Ordering application has been enhanced to allow 0 as a valid value for the Max Days field when configuring the Future Order Limit in Online Order Settings.
