  • Updated the system to add a security role that disables a user’s ability to enter a negative price for "Ask for Price" items.

Use Case: Previously, when the name of an Item was edited (for example, when a Daily Special would change from Salmon to Baked Tilapia), if the printer settings were not changed, it was possible that an individual could order Salmon, and their ticket would say, Baked Tilapia.  Now, when an Item name is changed, a reminder message prompts to consider printer settings.

Partner Products - Reserve Gateway

  • Updated the Banquet system to aggregate all Service Charge values on import instead of just the last one.

Use Case: Previously, the import did not distinguish between service charge types, therefore, all amounts came over under the last listed charge type.  Now, amounts are properly aggregated by service charge type, and reflect as such in the Office system.

Image Removed
