April 2021
See below new features, improvements and bug fixes for the past month.
New Features
Enter item quantity when adding an item to basket Menu feature flag
If you cater to large audiences this will allow your customers to easily enter the number of people that they are are ordering for
If a customer is ordering for an office, instead of clicking the + button they can now enter the number digits when adding the item to basket, or when editing the basket
Item level instructions Menu feature flag
Add a customer facing text box onto an item, prompting a customer to leave any special notes when they are ordering
From your Dashboard find and edit the appropriate menu item, ticking the ‘Special Instructions available’ box before saving
The text box is default set as 60 characters but it can be amended upon request. It will show up in the Orders Screen and we are working on getting it compatible with all outbound POS integrations
SSO pages and functionality 3rd party app feature flag
With all Single Sign On 3rd party apps we now show the Contact Page and My Account page, which includes useful things like past addresses and orders. We do not show the account password settings as this comes from the SSO
We also now show the item search functionality on the menu page
Improvements
Update the default Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy T&Cs, Privacy Policy
Shown to the customer when they create an account on your ordering page
If you are displaying your own T&Cs and PP you will not have been affected by the change
Update Delivery address fields on Web orders Delivery Feature flag
We have added new address fields: Building name, Flat number
Searching address is managed by Google Maps autocomplete service
The postcode field is required for Canada, Finland, Ireland, GB and USA
The “Save address for future orders” box will be checked as default
Custom Outlet fields Checkout
If you need to gather data from a customer before they checkout, such as what their car registration number is for Curbside collection, then you can use Custom Fields at checkout. See minute 1:45 on this video for setup
Previously this was mandatory and is now optional (assigned during creation) and will get sent through to Oracle RES and SIM2 integrated POS
Bug Fixes
When setting up To Seat service you can tick the checkbox to ‘Accept free text’ allowing the customer to type their table number rather than select it from a list. A bug was fixed to allow this to function as intended for single Outlet location venues
Unable to view nested sections if menu items are in main section
Unable to reset passwords on US platform
