We are pleased to announce the release of the iOS POS with new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. These features and fixes are live for all our customers and will revolutionize the way guests place an order on the POS app. Below are the takeaways from this release.

The weight-based UPC has now been added with the flexibility to ignore the digits in the UPC code. A new configuration – Ignore digits after weighted UPC is added which will allow you to ignore the digits after the UPC. For example, if the UPC of an item is 70802658 34 1400 and you have set the following values in the UPC settings:

• Weight item UPC character count – 8 (What would be the UPC character count?)
• Ignore digits after weighted UPC – 2 (How many digits to be ignored after UPC?)
• Weight-based UPC price length – 4 (What would be the price length?)

The breakup of the UPC will be as follows:

• 70802658 (UPC of 8 digits)
• 34 ( 2 digits to be ignored)
• 1400 (price length of 4 character count)

So on scanning the UPC (70802658341400) the item added to the cart will have a price of $14.00

Now you have an option to hide an item from the POS and keep showing it on the other platforms. A setting – Hide For, has been added at the backend (item > online) where you can choose the platform to hide an item from. For example, you can hide an item from the POS but keep it unhidden for the Lite app. Once the item is hidden, you will not be able to search for that item on the selected platform.

Now you have the flexibility to assign a kitchen printer to the item from the POS itself. Just long press the item on the POS and the Printers button will be visible to view all the printers. Servers can select the kitchen printer from the available options to which they can send the items when ordered.

We have added a new functionality where you can apply the tax on % based gratuity as well. To have it work, you can enable the Enable Tax on Gratuity configuration from the backend portal. When enabled the tax will apply on Subtotal – Discount (if any) + Gratuity.

Once enabled, you can start the takeout order using only the customer’s name and delivery order using the customer’s name and address.

Added a feature to allow you to auto-send the item to the kitchen when voided using the Select (+) option from the POS. Now the order or an item will be auto-send to the kitchen when it is voided either from the Pay button or Select button. This will help the kitchen staff know that they need not cook the item(s) since it has been voided. Please make sure to turn on the setting – Automatic Send Void Ticket from the backend to send the voided item or order to the kitchen.

We are pleased to announce the release of the iOS POS with new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. These features and fixes are live for all our customers and will revolutionize the way guests place an order on the POS app. Below are the takeaways from this release. 

Merchants who do not want to show the cash price on the initial receipt can do it using the configuration “Hide Cash Price on Initial Receipt for Dual Pricing”. This works when the dual pricing has been set up for a location and the said configuration is turned on from the backend.

Now the GL Account has been supported in the iOS POS. When an item is sold via the iOS POS, the product sold with its GL Account ID will be displayed in the Product Mix report in the backend. This is a configuration-based feature and has to be enabled using the configuration “Enable GL Account”.

Now you can disable the card payment on the iOS Self-Ordering using the configuration “Disable Card Payment”. This is a terminal-based setting that allows you to turn off the card payment option on the Self-Ordering terminal.

Employees can tap the Break In button that appears on the Clock In/Clock Out screen to take a break and similarly, tap Break Out, to start working again. The data will be tracked down in the Time Report and the Time Management module in the backend. To turn on this feature please toggle on the configuration – ‘Enable Break-In Break-Out’ from the backend.

Now you can assign the Delivery Driver report to an employee to review the assigned deliveries. Please make sure to enable the Driver status for an employee to view the assigned deliveries in the Delivery Driver report. Also, please ensure the employee has been assigned the Delivery Driver report from the backend.

Note: Delivery Driver report will show up for the locations created after Nov 30th, 2023. If you have an older location, please contact the support to get access to the report.

1. A setting “Hide Surcharge Line From Initial Receipt” has been introduced in the backend to hide the surcharge line from the initial receipt.
2. Enable Summarized Non-Itemized Receipt – This setting has been introduced to display the summarized payment receipt. This allows you to display only the final price to pay on the receipt with a bit of information related to the payment.

Fixed a bug where the debit and credit prompt were appearing even when the card was pre-authed to deduct the payment automatically. Now the payment will auto-deduct from the pre-authed card in the event of full order payment. However, the debit and card prompt may appear when a different card needs to be chosen to pay for the order.

Fixed a bug where the customer could not refund the order that had been paid via the debit card.

Fixed a bug where Direct PAX was not taking the order total beyond $999 and the amount needs to be entered again on the PAX device.

Now the discount will show separately on the cash and card (with surcharge) column on the initial receipt for consumer choice.

1. Fixed a bug due to which the full amount was not getting refunded when a flat surcharge fee was applied to the order. The server had to visit the refund section again to refund the balance amount.

2. When tendering amounts on the POS, the APIO used to display the full amount of the order instead of the tendered amount. The issue has been resolved now.

Waitlist feature is now enhanced to allow quoting the estimated wait time to the guests and keep a track of it on the POS. Servers can put the estimated wait time while creating a waitlist for the customer. The Actual time passed vs the Quoted wait time will be displayed in the waitlist listing. When the Actual wait time surpasses the quoted one, the waitlist row will become red indicating the customer has been waiting for a long time.

Now merchants can add a promotional URL on customer copy of the receipt. It will be in the form of a QR code, so the customer can scan the QR code and navigate all the way to the encoded URL. Marketing URL can be set up from the backend – Settings > Setup > Store Info, set the Marketing Title and Marketing URL (insert the url that you want your guests to be navigated to on scanning the QR). This is a configuration based feature and needs to be enabled from the backend using “Show Marketing URL On the Receipt”.

Now servers can search an item using its UPC, ALU and SKU. These parameters can be set up from the backend portal and servers can use these parameters to search an item and add to the cart.

A new privilege has been added for the employees to allow them to deliver an out of range order. For example, the zip code 19406 is set as a deliverable zone with an additional $5 delivery charge, and while trying to deliver to another zip code 19457, an alert message will appear saying “this zip code is not serviceable, do you want to continue?”. The employee will only be able to continue if he/she has been assigned with this privilege “Allow user to Delivery Out Of Delivery Range”. This privilege is available in Access Management in the Employee section in the backend portal.

Now you can enable the item’s inventory tracking for retail locations from the iOS POS. A dedicated setting “Enable Track Inventory” has been added in the POS at the item level. Enabling this setting will allow the merchants to keep a track of item inventory.

Now all the online orders can be printed automatically to a dedicated terminal-assigned kitchen printer. This functionality will only be applicable if the E-Commerce module is subscribed for any location. You can enable the online order printing and assign a kitchen printer from the terminal section of the POS.

Now servers can drag and drop the items from one check to another to transfer items between checks. You can use this functionality in the Split Check screen.

Additionally, you can also create a new check and transfer the items to that newly created check. To do that, click the +Check button, a new check will be created, now drag and drop the items to the new check.

We have introduced a new feature that allows you to connect a buzzer to a compatible printer and choose which orders to make a sound. For example, if you have a Kitchen printer with a buzzer attached, every time you send a ticket to the kitchen, there will be a sound played. However, you can change the setting so that only online order notifications make a sound, including orders from Chowly. It’s an ideal way to alert kitchen staff of the incoming orders, even in the busiest, high-decibel kitchen environments. The buzzer can be enabled from the printer settings using the “Enable Buzzer” configuration.

Works specifically with the following thermal printers: 

1. Star (all compatible models)
2. Epson (all compatible models)

Note: Buzzer needs to be attached with thermal printers (no cash drawer attached with the printer)

A dedicated subscription based inventory module has been added to the POS so the merchants can control all the inventory related operations from the POS itself. Merchants can add a new item, update the existing inventory, print UPC labels etc. using the inventory module. However, to use this functionality the Inventory module has to be subscribed from the backend.

A new configuration has been introduced in the Quantic POS that will allow the merchants to ignore the leading digits from the UPC. Users can set the number of digits to be ignored in a configuration “Ignored Leading Digits In UPC Search”. For example, if 3 is set, and the actual UPC of an item is 72527273070, the initial 3 digits (725) will be ignored and the item will be registered with a new UPC of 27273070.

In case two items have the identical UPCs, on scanning the barcode, a popup will appear asking which item to add. You can select any of them to add an item to the cart.

A new feature has been added to the iOS POS where the receipt will display the Cash Discount amount as zero when an order is paid via any non-cash payment method for example, card, gift card, loyalty, etc. This feature will only work when the cash discount is set up at the location and a configuration “Show cash discount line on card receipt” is enabled.

The Transfer Table screen will have the table numbers sorted as per their numeric or alphabetic order. So Table number 1 will appear on top on the Transfer Table screen and so on. This will make it easier for the servers to see all the tables in their sorting order and transfer accordingly.

Fixed the issue where the submodifier was not printing on the kitchen ticket. Now besides showing up on the cart, and receipt, the submodifier will also display on the kitchen ticket

A new feature has been implemented where the tab can be started in any open order for Main Dining, Quick Serve, and Bar service areas. For the Quick Serve orders, the tab can be started from the Order screen, and for Main Dining from the Guest screen prompt.

Removed the functionality of double tapping on the cart to increase the quantity of a weighted item. The quantity can only be increased from the Weight prompt to buy the weighted items by quantity and the weight will be auto-calculated by a weighing scale. It is important to note here that the price of weighted items will only be calculated with respect to the weight and not the quantity. For example, the price of 2 kg of Apple @ $4.00/kg will be $8.00 and the 2kg of Apple sold may have 4 or 6 pieces.

A new setting - “Disable 1x quantity on modifier” has been added to the portal. Enabling this setting will restrict the modifier quantity from showing up when only one of the given modifiers is added to the cart. This setting will only be effective when “Show 1X quantity” is enabled.

1. Go to the configurations and search “Disable 1X quantity on modifier”.
2. Turn on this setting using the toggle button next to it.
3. Now when only one of a modifier quantity will be added to the cart, the count will not appear. Instead, the count will only show up when two or more modifiers are added to the cart.

A new setting “Disable customer house account limit” has been added to the portal. Enabling this will disable the House Account Limit section for customers allowing them to pay for the order without any limit using their House Account.

3. Guests can place the order and pay for it using their House Account.
