Webshop Improvements

We have added the possibility to create exceptional open/closed days for Webshop.

It is also possible to configure Webshop to accept preorders when Kitchen is closed.

It is also possible to make customization mandatory/not mandatory for custom products before they are added to the basket in Webshop.

Products are always sent to kitchen when the order is coming from Webshop. This is possible to set up in the way that drinks are not pushed to kitchen when bought in store, but when the order comes from Webshop, they are displayed in Kitchen so that they will be remembered to pick them up for delivery. See here for more information.

Fast Contract Meal Feature

We have a totally new feature which allows very fast lunch payments, using an existing contract and customers’ identity document. See Fast Contract Meals for more details.

Improved Support for Capacity in Stock Handling

• Stock Item capacity is now supported as display unit

• Pieces are no more supported as a unit of measure for capacity

  • When creating a GS1 based stock item, and its net content is provided in pieces/portions in the GS1 data, then its net weight is used as capacity instead

• If net content is not provided in GS1 data, then net weight is used as capacity instead

• When creating a GS1 based stock item, GS1 originating capacity is now standardized to litres/kilograms. This means that if capacity is selected as the display unit, stock can be tracked in litres/kilograms instead of GS1’s original unit, which can be e.g. millilitres or milligrams.

For more information, see Stock Item.

Grouped Sales Report

A new Grouped Sales Report is available. Th report can be used to summarize product sales per Store and Category.

Pilot Group Option

We have added new pilot group POS installation package. With this feature, a new software version will be published to production first to the Pilot group POS, and after some time to every POS.

Using this option is recommended if your company has more than one POS in production; this means reinstalling at least one POS to the Pilot group. This way we can notice any critical bugs on POS before they reach all POS devices.

To switch to Pilot group, uninstall all Solteq components in workstation, and then download and install the POS Pilot.
