POS

 

Require a manager or admin PIN to transfer an item or order

Available on: POS version 2.10.29 and above.

By default, all system roles (admin, manager and staff) have the ability to transfer items and orders between tables.

The B15. REQUIRE MANAGER PIN setting has been expanded to include requiring a manager/ admin pin to transfer items/ orders. 

Now, when this setting is enabled, staff users are required to enter a manager/ admin pin to transfer the item/ order. Manager and admin users will not be required to enter their pin.

Self-ordering Kiosk

 

Error message when kiosk is logged in to a different account to the POS

If products ordered on the kiosk are missing from invoices or not being recognised on the POS, you may have logged in to your kiosk using an account/ store ID that is different to your POS. 

This might be because:

  • A new account has been created (you have two accounts), or
  • You have logged in to the HQ account instead of the child site.

If you suspect this to be the case, tap Test POS Connection on the kiosk configuration page. 

If you have logged in with an account/ store ID that is different to your POS, the kiosk will display an error message and prompt you to log in with the correct account/ store ID.

 

Kitchen Display Screen

 

Delete reasons on the KDS

Available on:

  • POS version 2.10.30 and above.
  • KDS version 3.1.44 and above.

You will now be prompted to enter a delete reason when deleting an item from an order on the KDS. 

The item will strike through on the invoice, similarly to the KDS and the POS.
