Release Notes: February 18

Enrollment Page with Design Specific UI/UX

A new feature introduces a loyalty enrollment page with a QR code, providing a streamlined experience for users. This enhancement allows the page to automatically adopt preconfigured design styles and any custom colors selected by clients, ensuring consistent visual branding.

Accessibility Improvements for Dropdown Lists

The structure of our navbar dropdown lists has been improved to meet ADA compliance standards. Screen readers can now more effectively navigate our dropdowns as all list items (<li>) are properly contained within parent unordered (<ul>) or ordered (<ol>) lists, enhancing accessibility for users with visual impairments.

Aloha Order Type Configuration for Tax Remittance

Integrate Aloha POS with our Marketplace Tax Remittance feature by configuring fields within RYO to attach 'Order Types' to different order fulfillment modalities. This will streamline the tax process by ensuring that taxes are correctly remitted for orders that reach the POS, eliminating the need for manual tax remittance. Specifically beneficial for vendors like Uber Eats and DoorDash in states requiring them to collect taxes, this enhancement ensures that taxes do not reappear on orders processed through Aloha POS. Applicable to all clients using PX OO with MpM, it aligns tax processes with state regulations and eases daily operations for clients.

Extended Restaurant Config Report

The restaurant configuration report now includes additional fields to enhance data visibility and operational insights. Key new fields include menu sync information and the last order date and time, providing a more comprehensive view of your restaurant's configuration and performance metrics.

Embedded Order EXperience Builder Tip Selection

Improve usability with percentage buttons for Tip selection, replacing dropdown menus with accessible, one-tap options. This update enhances decision speed and offers a seamless, frictionless experience, particularly for mobile users who benefit from an intuitive, thumb-friendly interface.

Event Animations Support

Enhance your user experience with our new event animations support, bringing dynamic and responsive animations to your projects. This feature adds a layer of visual feedback to events and interactions, making them more intuitive and engaging. Design seamless transitions and spotlight key actions in your applications, ensuring a polished and professional interface that's both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Sticky Review & Checkout Button

Enhancing your mobile checkout experience, the floating Review & Checkout button is now pinned to the bottom thumb area of the screen. This strategic placement optimizes accessibility, reduces friction, and increases interaction efficiency, allowing users to effortlessly navigate through the purchasing process with minimized cognitive load.

Enhanced Menu Features

Boost user engagement and streamline the shopping experience with the new ability to display item descriptions and an 'add to cart' button directly in the menu item list. Presenting item descriptions provides immediate insight for users, aiding in informed decision-making, while the 'add to cart' button increases visibility, reduces friction, and enhances usability across devices, particularly improving mobile engagement and accessibility. Transform your menu into a more dynamic interface, ultimately driving higher conversions with these integrated features.

Improved Accessibility for Icon Buttons

Icon buttons now have accessible names, ensuring that all users, including those using screen readers, have a seamless interaction experience. This enhancement addresses previous issues where buttons and links could be configured without accessible names, which caused stylesheet inconsistencies. Accessible names are essential for optimal navigation and interaction within the application, paving the way for a more inclusive user interface.

Custom Color Preferences Respected over Preset Themes

Resolved an issue where preset themes were overriding custom color settings, ensuring custom brand colors are now applied correctly to button hover states.

Prevent Data Loss in Agency Builder

Resolved an inconsistency in the Agency Builder page where loading a configuration would unintentionally overwrite the selected page if saved, ensuring mobile is chosen by default and preventing accidental data deletion.

Enhanced Matching Logic

Improved logic prioritizes emid matching over name matching to ensure more accurate ezCater records reconciliation.

Absent at Location Fix for Square Menu

Resolved an issue where the absent_at_location_ids were not being honored, ensuring correct applicability of items and modifiers to specified locations, reducing menu management efforts for customers and franchisees.

Online Ordering Auto-Disable

Resolved an issue where online ordering was not automatically paused when sites went offline, ensuring seamless operation and status accuracy for all locations.

Timezone Consistency for ezCater Orders

Resolved an issue causing discrepancies between displayed order times and local restaurant timezones for ezCater orders.

Apply Button Display Issue in Rewards Mode

Corrected the logic to ensure the apply button only appears when modifying open dollar rewards in applicable rewards mode.

Improved Menu Sync Recovery

Our system now detects and recovers menu syncs that get unexpectedly stuck even for POS types not included in the hourly or daily lists.

Catering OXB: Suggested Order Scale Correction

Fixed an issue in OXB where the suggested order headcount was off by 1, now defaulting the order total_fed_headcount value to 0 for accurate scaling.

Catalog Updates and Enterprise Menu Management Decoupling

Enhancements to the catalog include making feature flags more accessible, decoupling the catalog from EMM dependency, and resolving UI confusion on the catalog selection page for seamless use by prospective catering clients.
