Release Notes

9 February 2026 - Menu Management

✨ New Features & Enhancements

• Added PLU and Price to Range Group item selection and assigned item lists to make it easier to choose and verify the correct items

• Improved list navigation so Items and Modifier Groups remember the search, filters, sort order, and scroll position when returning from a detail screen

• Added an Edit Item action to menu items, allowing a direct jump to the item detail and return to Menu without losing the current position

• Enabled editing of venue names in the Menu Management console (for users with appropriate access)

• Added item count badges to menu categories so the number of items in each category is visible at a glance

• Enabled bulk linking of a modifier group to multiple items from the Modifier Group page, to quickly associate shared groups (for example “Sauces”) with many items at once

• Added “Select All (current results)” and “Clear selection” to the Add Items to Category screen to enable quick bulk-add of items from the current search or filtered list without affecting unrelated items

⚙️ Bug Fixes

• Resolved an issue that prevented some menus from being deleted

• Improved error messages when deleting items, modifier groups, or modifier items that are still in use, so required actions are clearer

23 October 2025 - Mobile POS

✨ New Features & Enhancements

• Improved device selection so available POS devices are clearly highlighted, with status and current user, making it easier to choose the right device for a session

• Refined handling of organisation, venue, and location changes so that current orders are cleared when context changes, preventing orders from being finalised against the wrong area

• Added support for adding modifiers to items already in the current order, allowing orders to be adjusted without starting again

• Introduced menu-wide search across all items so staff can quickly find menu items without switching between categories

• Improved order screen interaction so large carts are easier to work with, including automatic repositioning of the bottom item to reveal edit actions and faster multiple-quantity taps

• Updated the visual design to apply a consistent primary colour palette and remove legacy cyan styling for a more polished interface

• Added a floating cart button on mobile devices that shows item count and order total, making the current order easier to access from anywhere on the screen

• Introduced a feedback link in the main menu so Mobile POS feedback can be submitted directly from within the app

⚙️ Bug Fixes

• Resolved an issue where the location selector could fail for staff with different roles across organisations or venues, ensuring the correct locations appear for Mobile POS access

• Fixed a problem where zooming in on the login screen could leave the main app permanently zoomed, ensuring the interface always renders at the correct scale

• Corrected the Mobile POS link in the Customer Portal staging environment so the staging app opens as expected

• Addressed a device-claim loop where reclaiming the same POS device across sessions could cause repeated “device claimed” prompts

• Improved handling of large orders (over $190) so the finalise payment screen loads reliably

• Updated negative amount formatting so the minus sign consistently appears before the dollar sign across orders, payments, and receipts

7 October 2025 - Mobile POS

✨ New Features & Enhancements

• Added full support for modifiers on order items, including automatic prompts when items require selections (for example, sides or cooking preferences)

• Introduced powerful search across all menu items so items can be located by name without navigating through every category

• Improved POS device selection flow during login and device changes, including clearer context, error handling, and device status indicators
