Posnic v1.6.2
This release improves restaurant ordering, kitchen alerts and printing, and the day-to-day checkout experience.
What changed
- Receipts and bills: clearer totals and currency symbols, the shop's logo and footer, and scannable QR codes. Printer changes take effect on the next bill, print results are easier to see, and unnecessary paper feeding has been reduced.
- Kitchen service: separate bell and voice controls, clearer order notes and quantities, and more reliable printing of cancellations, including during a busy service.
- Tables and Captain App: easier additions to an existing order, longer-lived waiter sign-ins, waiter day summaries, and controls for viewing and disabling paired handsets. Paid tables leave the open floor correctly.
- Customer ordering: clearer menus, dish options and extras, coupons, and improvements to takeaway, delivery and table ordering.
- Reports and checkout: PDF, CSV and Excel report exports, improved item selection and settings, and fixes to payment amounts, login reliability and saved preferences.
Updating
Close the till before installing. Install over the existing copy; do not uninstall first. Posnic keeps local shop data when installed over the previous version. Check your receipt printer and kitchen alerts before the next trading session.
