Now servers can see the guest count on the cart screen on the Lite app. The Guest Count is prompted when a server starts the dining orders on the Lite app. The entered guest count will be displayed on the cart screen to ease the overall ordering process.

Now your Lite app comes with a QR code based login, so the servers can get into the Lite by simply scanning their QR code(via scanner or built-in scanner). These unique QR codes can be generated from the backend portal, the store staff can take these QR codes along and scan on the POS to login. The Login With QR Code button is available on the Pin Pad screen, users can tap on this button, bring the QR code in front of the camera to login to the Lite app.

A dedicated subscription based inventory module has been added to the Lite app so the merchants can control all the inventory related operations from the Lite app itself.

However, to use this functionality the Inventory module has to be subscribed from the backend.

Now you can create combo meals in Lite app and offer multiple items in a single meal for fast and easy ordering. For example, you can create a Fries Combo of French Fries, and Coke.

Fixed an issue where the employee was not getting redirected to the order screen (cart screen) after paying the order in full. The redirection can be set up uniquely for every employee from the backend portal. On full order payment, an employee can be redirected to either a service area or the order screen. To set up the redirection to the order screen, go to the Settings in the backend portal > Redirection after Full Order Payment > Select Disable. Now from the Employee section, select Order Screen in the Landing Area and make sure to select Quick Serve in the Service Area.

Now on the click of a Send button, the user can choose to stay on the Cart screen or the employee specific landing service area. To stay on the cart screen, the server can select Disable in the configuration “Redirection After Processing Send command”. Doing this will make the server stay on the cart screen after sending the order to the kitchen.

Fixed an issue where an employee was able to take the cash payments even when the access was not granted to do so. Now the issue has been resolved and the employees having cash payment disabled from the backend will not be able to accept the cash payments for the order.

Also, the guests will be able to choose the mode of payment to pay for the order.

The Cash Discount payment program has been implemented in the Lite app to get discounts on paying via cash. A Cash Discount program can be set up from the partner portal for the Lite app accounts. The discounted price will show up on the Cash button on the Lite app that customers can click to pay.

A new feature has been added to the Lite 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. 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.

Now the customers with cash discount enabled locations will be able to see the dual pricing on the initial receipt. This will allow the merchants to show the cash and card prices to the customers to help them decide to pay via cash or card. To see the dual pricing, the locations must have a cash discount setup and Enable Consumer Choice enabled.

Now the servers will be able to send the orders to the latest KDS from their Lite device. Orders will display on the KDS as soon as it is sent from the Lite.

Merchants can enable this functionality from the partner portal by following this path – Station > go to Edit Payment Gateway > select Enable Debit Pin (please make sure either the PAX or PAX Direct is selected in the payment gateway). Once enabled, the server can tap the Card button on the Lite app and select either Debit or Credit to settle the balance due.

Added the EBT payments functionality in the Lite app which will allow the servers to accept the EBT cards to settle the balance due. The functionality can be enabled from the backend portal using the configuration “Enable EBT Payment” and the position of the EBT on Pay can be changed using the configuration “Position of EBT on Pay”. Once enabled, the servers can accept the EBT cards, go to Pay on the Lite app and select EBT to pay for the order. Moreover, the consumer choice and the non-cash adjustment would not apply to the EBT payments. Also, the tip prompt would not appear when paying via EBT cards.

Fixed the bug that was prompting the user to enter the card type while paying from the saved cards (Card on File) on the POS. On clicking the Card on File button, the list of saved cards will appear, and guests can select the preferred card to pay for the order.

Fixed the issue due to which the Refund Access privilege was not working for the employees. This was causing the employees without Refund Access to refund the order from the POS. With this fix, the employees with Refund Access privileges can only refund the order and the privilege needs to be assigned from the backend portal – Employee > Access Management > Refund Access.

Fixed the bug that was causing the item (with modifier) to add to a separate row on the cart when added at a different interval. With this fix, if an item with the same modifier is added twice at different intervals, the item quantity will increase instead of the item getting added to a new row.

Fixed the user-defined not appearing as a favorite payment method in the Pay screen. With this fix, the merchant will be able to see the preferred user-defined payment as a shortcut on the Pay screen. The server can simply tap on the user-defined payment and pay for the order.

Fixed the missing transactions issue in the batch report that occurred due to the order being started from one terminal and payment being made on the other terminal. With this fix, if a transaction happens at the Lite terminal, it will be displayed on the Lite’s Batch Settlement report despite the order being started at any of the terminals. 

Fixed the error where the tip refund, partial refunds, and full refunds were not functioning properly in the Lite app. Some negative balance due was appearing in the cart during the refund. Now the problem has been resolved and an updated version is available for all the clients.
