New app update scheduled for release in the early hours of 20/03/2017. A large release focused on the waiter app with significant changes to prepare for upcoming server migration (to a bigger, faster and more robust platform).
Changes to the waiter app are as follows...
- Improved Lockscreen
The lock screen is now prettier, easier to use and its faster to get back into the app. It also shows some useful information at a glance.
- Smarter cashdrawer kicks
When the session is marked as paid, the cash drawer (if connected) will kick open. To support best practice, wait staff should only mark as paid when the table is fully settled and when they are by the cash drawer. There is also now a manual kick drawer on the quick order screen.
- Smarter Print Queue
The print queue has been made more efficient. It will also remember your selection from the first time you answer the "Start Print Queue?" question. If you need to change your response, simply go into the print queue to reset, again it will just remember it. Saves you a click every time you log in.
- Handy number badges
The app will show number badges on 'Unseated guests' to show how many parties you have waiting for attention, don't leave them waiting!
- Compatible with Amazon fire
Another hardware choice, Amazon fire tablets have great screens and are very reasonably priced (approx £35). Let us know if you want to use Epicuri on Amazon Fire and we can help set you up.
The more significant bugs that have been squashed.
- Quick order
Fixed intermittent crash when 'discarding' a quick order.
- Order double up
Fixed bug that caused a double order if order submit button was double tapped by accident
In addition to the above, some scenario's that could potentially lead to a crash have been identified and resolved. Also, some fundamental internal changes to the internal workings of the app to improve performance and talk nicely to the new server, making this update very significant explaining the long development time and even longer testing cycle on our side.
If you have any questions or problems please raise with support AT epicuri.co.uk and we will get right onto it!
