Unnecessary acknowledgements for successful actions have been eliminated

After payment or an attempt to close an order, users no longer need to acknowledge Action Completed Successfully. The acknowledgment appears only for errors or cashback.

Improvement

New order closing rules

Order ownership restrictions help keep reporting and tip distribution aligned with the appropriate staff.

Previously, managers, third parties, and partners could open and close orders, which could affect reporting and tip pooling.

Configure closure ownership under System Parameters > Regional Settings > Order Settings > Allow Ownership for Order Closure.

All: The default; any entity can own and close orders.

  • ManagersAndService: Regular staff and managers can close orders; system entities and partners cannot.

ServiceOnly: Only regular staff can close orders; managers and other entities are excluded.

An order that does not meet the configured ownership rule shows the applicable message below:

Manager

OTC and offline order types were planned as future extensions of this feature.

86/Brief & Operation screens can now be directly accessed from the TD profile

Previously, users changed profiles to view 86'd items, and managers changed profiles to open Operation.

The TD screen now gives all users direct access to 86/brief. Managers can also open Operation without leaving the TD profile.

Enhanced OTC guest management options

OTC guest management adds control over how guest counts are captured.

Previously, OTC orders could include guest counts without requiring them.

Base > TD & OTC > OTC Guest Management Options now provides four choices:

None (Default): Does not track guest counts.

  1. Manage Guests: Shows guests on the order screen without requiring entry.

  2. Enforce Guest Count: Requires a guest count before continuing.

  3. Enforce Manage Guest Count: Displays the count and requires entry before continuing.

Customer detail pop-ups highlight a required guest count in orange.

The older Manage Diners in OTC orders parameter was scheduled for deprecation when this version became generally available.


Order numbers are displayed in Ingenico payment requests

Kitchen ticket recovery no longer automatically reprints in KDS

Previously, recovering a kitchen ticket at a KDS site sent it to both KDS and physical printers.

Recovery now offers Reprint & Update the KDS or Reprint Only, so operators can avoid an unnecessary KDS update.

Partial Fire action no longer conflicts with Exit Order After Fire

With Exit order after Fire and Display partial fire from ordering modal (quick fire) both enabled, firing only part of an order previously exited the order.

Previously, the combination of those two parameters caused the same exit for partial and full fire actions.

Exit order after Fire is now ignored for partial firing. Operators stay in the order after a partial fire and still exit after a full fire. Cash payment settings have also been simplified, as described below.

Allow Cash Payments by User replaces Enable Cash Payments for Manager ONLY and Only Order Owner Can Perform Cash Actions. The two old parameters have been removed and no longer function.


Tabit Order

Improvement

Tabit Order retains service type when an order is restarted.

Previously, restarting an eat-in order required the guest to choose the service type again.

The guest now proceeds directly into Tabit Order. The URL also retains the service type and table number where applicable.

Tabit Shift
