Maximum discount percentage on category

This new feature is needed to prevent any discounts from certain categories like Alcohol products. It can also be used to control that for example more than 50 % discount is never applied to certain products on POS.

This will not prevent changing the price of a product on POS as that action is not considered as discount.

Fixed multiple places to use Display Unit for SKU.

Creating Stock Out (Loss/Waste) on POS

This new action on POS can be used to add loss/waste transactions on Stock Products and Ingredients and for Recipes.
To activate this new action, user needs to create new POS UI layout for adding loss/waste. Easiest way to create such layout is to copy your current selling layout and do modifications there as needed for example removing unnecessary actions and products.
worddavae52798e12a5cb24cce1e58de24f5280.png

Stock mode can be activated from Menu on POS. After activating the mode user can perform only few actions: Find Stock Products (that do have SKU), Complete and possibility to go back on Sales Mode.
To add waste user can do it in 3 different ways:

  • Reading barcode of SKU product

  • Using Find Stock Products – action

  • Using POS Layout buttons.

While adding loss to SKU user can choose different Measurement unit for transaction:

After Stock Transaction is completed on POS, we return to Sales Mode. POS Loss can be found and checked on BackOffice. Recipe is split into ingredients properly. Also, customizations are considered on recipe.
worddav6b7690804ef6f30e1c1f9ab423c14b71.png

Please note that product / ingredient should have SKU and some stock quantity, before it can be deducted from the stock:

Waste percentage and other improvements on recipes

Waste can be added to ingredients in recipe. This shall change how ingredient is calculated back to stock. Used calculation in upper example is that on recipe we have product 20g but waste is 50% so stock is deducted with 20g/(1 – 0,5) = 40g

Cooking instruction on Recipes

worddav374531153427cb737d8891a0f31ecbad.png

You can add new Cooking Instruction to recipes which can be later printout or checked on Cook application.

worddav6bd042b79a246869fa9503bbb88cd8d0.png worddav626ba85e79861c816ce15f3be6f7d2cc.png

Instructions are not printed on Kitchen tablet by default, but they can be viewed from Overview tab. If on settings "Print cooking instructions" is selected, then on each kitchen printout also cooking instructions are printed. This is useful when you have new cook learning recipes.

There is new action type that can be used to open "submenu" quickly from POS action grid.
worddav6f7be611cc6683c3210067ec727c17ed.png

To create a submenu, select "Action" as a button type in POS layout configuration tool. Then select the action, which would be "Open tab" in this case. Then choose the tab, which you want the button to point to. Save the layout.

By clicking the button on POS UI you can now move to the tab the button points to.
