What's New

Integration Hub

  1. Octopus Integration: Shipping – Previously, Octopus integration was released for In-Store Pickup Orders only. With this release, Shipping has also been enabled which means Octopus will support Order delivery. For more information, see the Knowledge Article.

Enhancements

Online Ordering (OLO)

  1. Delivery Order Confirmation Email Notes – Delivery Notes entered during checkout are now displayed in the order confirmation email for delivery orders. Delivery notes will appear above the delivery address details, with existing receipt printing behavior unchanged
  2. 86 List of Modifier: Added an 86 List toggle to the Modifier page in Back Office, supporting Modifier availability in Online Ordering with real-time Quantity validation and out-of-stock alerts.

POS

  1. Order Time Visibility – The POS order header will be enhanced to display the order due date and time along with the existing Now and Later indicators.
    1. For Later orders, the header will show the scheduled due date and time
    2. Now orders will display the applicable due date and time, including any calculated Promise/Due Time. This ensures the displayed date and time always match the order due time stored and used by the system.
  2. Tip Suggestion For Partial Payment – The Tip Suggestion functionality will be enhanced to accurately calculate and display Tip Recommendations for subtotal when a check is paid using split payment options. The Tip Suggestion will be calculated based on the individual split payment for Subtotal amount rather than the total check subtotal amount, with the configured tip percentages applied accordingly. This supports Split By Amount, Seat, Item, and Payment Method, ensuring Tip Suggestions are dynamically recalculated for each split transaction and provide a consistent and transparent tipping experience.
  3. 86 List For Modifiers – The 86 List functionality for modifiers will be enhanced to synchronize modifier item quantities between WebPOS and Online Ordering. Whenever a sale of a modifier item occurs in either POS or Online Ordering, the available quantity will be reduced in both systems. This ensures modifier availability remains synchronized across WebPOS and Online Ordering and helps prevent unavailable modifier items from being selected. 
  4. POS Customer Last Name Display & KDS Name Text Wrapping – Customer name visibility will be enhanced on POS checks by displaying the full customer last name instead of only the first letter or initial. Additionally, KDS Name text in the Phone Order tab will wrap to a second line when the name exceeds the available column width. These enhancements ensure customer and KDS names are displayed more clearly and completely across the system.

Retail

  1. Lottery Functionality – This feature introduces Lottery functionality to Retail POS, covering two core areas: Lottery Ticket Sales and Lottery Payouts. Users can configure lottery games, manage inventory, process payouts with defined thresholds and commissions, and track lottery sales, payouts, and commissions through receipts, reports, and dashboards.
  2. Scale / Scanner Integration – This feature integrates a Scale Scanner with the Retail POS, enabling barcode/QR scanning, item weighing, and ID scanning for age verification. It includes Back Office/POS hardware configuration, connectivity testing, automatic weight handling, manual weight entry, and support for tare-based retail items.

Online Ordering

  1. Delivery Order Confirmation Email Notes – Delivery Notes entered during checkout are now displayed in the order confirmation email for delivery orders. Delivery notes will appear above the delivery address details, with existing receipt printing behavior unchanged
  2. 86 List of Modifier – Added an 86 List toggle to the Modifier page in Back Office, supporting Modifier availability in Online Ordering with real-time Quantity validation and out-of-stock alerts.

Consumer

  1. KIOSK: Optional Customer Name Entry – Added a new Customer Name Options configuration in Back Office with Required, Optional, and Not Required options. Based on the selected setting, customers can be required to enter their name, optionally skip name entry, or proceed without the name option.
  2. KIOSK: Default Order Type Selection – Added a new Order Type Mode configuration in Back Office with multiple options. Based on the selected configuration, the KIOSK can prompt customers to select an order type or automatically assign To Go or For Here for new orders. Existing order processing and POS/reporting behavior remain unchanged.
  3. KIOSK: Automatic Receipt Printing – Added a new Receipt Printing Mode configuration in Back Office with multiple options. Based on the selected mode, the KIOSK can prompt the customer to choose receipt options, automatically print the receipt after successful payment, or skip printing. Printer failures will be logged and will not prevent the customer from completing the order.
  4. Stock App Scanning UPC-E Barcodes – Enhanced the Stock App barcode scanner to support UPC-E barcodes in addition to the existing formats. UPC-E barcodes will be processed through the existing item/SKU lookup flow, while existing barcode functionality remains unchanged.

Back Office

  1. Security Improvements – Implemented Account Locking after Consecutive Failed Login Attempts and Password Reset for Account Unlock in Backoffice for store users.
  2. Control Center Permissions –  User and Role access to Control Center app from BO.

Inventory

  1. Audit Log Report: Phase 2 – The Audit Log will track and record each activity performed within the Inventory Modules, such as Inventory Storage Location, Inventory Vendors, and In House Units. The log will capture relevant details of each activity to provide traceability and maintain a complete history of changes made within the system.
  2. Global Item Creation: Phase 2 – Under Global Menu, Inventory Modules such as Inventory Taxes, and In House Units should be added at the Back Office Enterprise Level under Global Menu. This will apply only to new Enterprise Accounts.

Payments

  1. Gateway Shared Tokenization – Shared Tokenization with gateway enables a unified customer payment experience across POS and Online Ordering by leveraging gateway secure token vault capabilities. When a card saved in POS under the Customer Profile screen, or while completing payment in Reader, the same card will be displayed in Online Ordering for the same customer (Email Address).
