1 October 6, 2014 Summary: The Engineering team is proud to announce the September backend release. This release supports the upcoming Features: Tracking System We have implemented a tracking system to start capturing key changes to the system. The first thing we are capturing edits to Time Worked. Please take advantage to make sure your business is compliant. You can find the logs in Action Logs (under Reports). Enhanced reporting will so please be sure to look out for further updates in future Release Notes. This new system requires you to input a reason for editing the time shifts.

2 Employee Declared Breaks We have a new option on Time Sheet Rules Employee Declares Break Type. It is an alternative to Calculated Paid/Unpaid Breaks by Rules (both settings cannot be selected). If you select the new type, Employees will indeed select whether they are going out on Paid or Unpaid breaks and payroll will calculate accordingly. Time Sheets and Time Worked have both been updated to reflect that a shift may end in a break or a clock out. -Viewing by breaks is also enhanced to show more data about the breaks (including whether they are paid or unpaid). Please note for Calculate Paid/Unpaid Breaks by Rules, the time between shifts is always considered a break, even if it is marked as a clock-out. Automated Service Fees You can now automate Service Fees under some very specific cases:

3 Number of Guests (to support that 6 or more guests fee printed on your menu) Dining Type (real Delivery Fees) Payment Type (pass on the Credit Processing fee to your customers note, if you associate this fee with Credit+ payments, it isn t so much of an auto apply as a prompt to apply the fee.) Date (Charge your customers for being open on a holiday). Set these rules using the new section at the bottom of each Service Fee. Custom Menus (New) You can find these under Products. Give your Menu a name and type (POS station, Mode or None). The select the stations or mode (Online, Kiosk, Bar) and click save. Click on details to add products to the menu, and associate a time slots, if desired.

4 Zapper Payments The Management Console work, including reports and settings are in to support Zapper Paym ents. -More about that in the 1515 CustomerFacing Release Notes.

5 Gift Card Payments for Online Ordering There is a new setting under online ordering that enables paying for online orders with Gift Cards. -This feature only works currently with Revel Gift Cards. Modifier Substitutions Want to limit modifier substitutions? Say you can substitute apples for bananas, but not blueberries for bananas? It is now possible. You turn the whole thing on under Advanced Settings. Then, on each modifier, you can set if that particular modifier could have substitution limits and the modifiers; which can be substituted for it (you can also select No Modifier if the modifier doesn t have to be replaced). Finally, go to the product modifiers where you want to enforce substitutions. You will see a new column call Sub. Click it for those modifiers where you want to enforce substitutions. Now when you attempt to unselect one of these modifiers on the ipad, you will be required to replace it with an acceptable (and available to the product option). Please note only default modifiers will invoke substitution.

6 Major Enhancements Edit Logs & Time Worked As mentioned above, we are now logging edits to the time worked page. You will have to enter a reason as to why this change is being made. Service Fee Report Service fees are now be fully integrated in reporting and has its own reporting. Invoice Deposits Invoice Deposits (and other invoice related data) have now been incorporated into the Reports. Sales do not log until an Invoice becomes and Order. Deposits appear as payments and liabilities. When you change the Invoice into an Order, they are represented as Applied Deposits. Show Empty Data Filter There is a new data filter on Time Worked and Payroll Show Empty. Uncheck this and employees without data for the time period shall be filtered out. Should make it easier to cope if you have lots and lots of employees. Names & Color Codes Product details now displays the names of the color codes. This should help as a reference when you are importing new products. Barcode Support We will be supporting EAN-13 and CODE128 formats for barcodes, in addition to the current UPC-A. The drop down has been updated and the ipad changes are here. Image Upload & Product Categories Added image upload to product categories. Modifier Discount Updates Changed modifier discounts a bit so that you can omit selection of a specific modifier for type = modifier (and the discount will be able to be applied to any modifier) or select multiple classes for type = modifier class. Inventory Pages View By Stock Units By check box, you can now view the Inventory pages by Stock Units instead of Inventory Tracking units. This also changes the defaults for receiving, wasting, etc. Vendor Search Field & Inventory Pages The vendor dropdowns on the various inventory pages have been changed to search fields to better handle large numbers of vendors. Vendor Search & Reorder Pages And, we added one of those vendor search fields to the Inventory pages and the reorder pages. Inventory Pages & Primary Vendor Updates And that is not all. If your product/ingredient item doesn t have a primary vendor, you can input one straight into the inventory page. Well, you can click the icon and fill in the little form.

7 Product Upload Control There is a new setting under staff settings that allows you to control how many products the ipad attempts to download at once. The default is 20. If you raise the default, download will go faster, but may time out. Only raise the default for menus with simple products (i.e. no modifiers) API & Inventory Added an API for Inventory Unit. Please reach out to Support to inquire about this amazing enhancement. Non-credit and Non-cash tips Payment Types Rather than dump all non-credit and non-cash tips into Other, we will display their payment type. Payment types without tips on any given reporting period will not display.
