&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Send to prep:&lt;/strong&gt; A new Send to prep tile in Shopify POS sends the items in the current order to your printers and Fresh KDS before the customer pays, ideal for table service and open tabs. When you send again, or when the customer pays, only new or changed items go to prep. Add it from &lt;strong&gt;Add tile → POS Cafe → Send to prep&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cloudshelf kiosks:&lt;/strong&gt; POS Cafe now works with Cloudshelf, a Shopify sales channel app for self-service kiosks. Kiosks show each location’s POS Cafe menu with its modifiers, and kiosk orders print or reach Fresh KDS at the right prep areas. &lt;a href=&quot;https://poscafe.app/docs/integrations/cloudshelf-kiosks/&quot;&gt;Set up Cloudshelf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Live menu data and sold-out updates:&lt;/strong&gt; An optional setting that stops online ordering and Cloudshelf kiosks selling items that have run out at a location within seconds, and brings them back within about 15 minutes of restocking. Turn it on in &lt;strong&gt;Settings → General Online Ordering Settings&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Settings → Integrations → Cloudshelf&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Print from Shopify POS:&lt;/strong&gt; A new &lt;strong&gt;Shopify POS (Printing API)&lt;/strong&gt; printer type prints Send to prep and order tickets from the POS device itself, using a printer already connected to Shopify POS. It needs Shopify POS 11.11.0 or later. &lt;a href=&quot;https://poscafe.app/docs/order-tickets-kds/shopify-pos-printer/&quot;&gt;Set up Shopify POS printing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vehicle details for Drive Thru and Curbside:&lt;/strong&gt; Online customers ordering Drive Thru or Curbside can now add their vehicle make, model and colour, and tickets print a large “Vehicle:” line so staff find the right car. It’s on by default and can be turned off per location. &lt;a href=&quot;https://poscafe.app/docs/online-ordering/locations-hours-order-types-and-pickup/#asking-for-vehicle-details&quot;&gt;Learn more&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;order-tickets--kds&quot;&gt;Order tickets &amp;amp; KDS&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Redesigned Receipt printers page:&lt;/strong&gt; Add and manage Epson and Star printers from one page, with a summary for each location, clear status badges and each printer’s setup details ready to copy. &lt;a href=&quot;https://poscafe.app/docs/order-tickets-kds/receipt-printers-page/&quot;&gt;See the new page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pause a printer:&lt;/strong&gt; Pause a printer while it’s out of paper or being moved. New orders don’t print on it while it’s paused; tickets that were already waiting print when you resume (if they’re less than a day old), and you can clear waiting tickets at any time.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Send to prep improvements:&lt;/strong&gt; The tile now explains what it’s doing and what to do next, &lt;strong&gt;Check printer setup again&lt;/strong&gt; refreshes a location’s printers without leaving POS, and you can re-send an order to prep after checkout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Never a missed ticket:&lt;/strong&gt; If POS Cafe can’t confirm what the Send to prep tile already sent, the order prints at checkout anyway. A repeated ticket is always better than a missing one.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Table and notes on prep tickets:&lt;/strong&gt; Send to prep tickets show the table and any cart notes, so the kitchen knows where each order is going.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Variant details:&lt;/strong&gt; Descriptions for native Shopify variants now appear on receipts and Fresh KDS.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Individual tickets:&lt;/strong&gt; The option to print one ticket per item now tracks its progress on Epson and Star printers, so an interrupted batch picks up where it left off without reprinting.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consistent routing:&lt;/strong&gt; Printers and Fresh KDS now share the same location routing, so every order reaches the same prep areas on both.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;online-ordering&quot;&gt;Online Ordering&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Menu publishing warnings:&lt;/strong&gt; Location settings pages now warn you if a menu update doesn’t publish, so you can try again straight away.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Theme fix:&lt;/strong&gt; Fixed a styling clash between the online ordering product window and some Shopify themes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;performance--fixes&quot;&gt;Performance &amp;amp; fixes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Menu health checks:&lt;/strong&gt; Published online and kiosk menus are now checked regularly, and out-of-date menu data is repaired automatically.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recovery improvements:&lt;/strong&gt; Send to prep and printing now recover more reliably after brief connection or service interruptions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Native Product Routing:&lt;/strong&gt; Route selected Shopify products added outside POS Cafe to your existing receipt printers and Fresh KDS prep areas. Native Shopify POS and open-tab orders are supported, while Online Store routing has its own separate opt-in. The feature is disabled by default, and existing POS Cafe product routing continues unchanged. &lt;a href=&quot;https://poscafe.app/docs/order-tickets-kds/native-product-routing/&quot;&gt;Learn how to set it up&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;pos-cafe-tile&quot;&gt;POS Cafe tile&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introducing Fast Add (Beta):&lt;/strong&gt; Speed up order entry by adding items to the cart in the background, so staff can move on to the next item sooner. Fast Add is on automatically in both the POS Cafe and POS Cafe - Lite tiles, with nothing to set up.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Reliable Modifiers:&lt;/strong&gt; Assigned modifier sets now load more reliably, including newly created and unlisted modifiers. If a modifier cannot be used, staff receive a clear explanation instead of it silently disappearing from the customise screen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Safer Modifier Selection:&lt;/strong&gt; Sold-out options are no longer automatically selected in required modifier groups, and groups that have changed from multiple choice to single choice now correct themselves when staff make a selection.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Modifier Diagnostics:&lt;/strong&gt; The POS Tile settings now retain useful details about the latest modifier loading issue, making it easier to understand and resolve configuration problems.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smoother Navigation &amp;amp; Cart Updates:&lt;/strong&gt; Improved screen navigation and background cart handling reduce duplicate taps and unreliable transitions. If an item may not have been added successfully, staff are prompted to check the cart.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clearer Item Details:&lt;/strong&gt; Variants, modifiers, notes, order types, prep areas, and other item details now appear in a consistent order across the POS Tile and Online Ordering.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distinct POS Cafe Lite Items:&lt;/strong&gt; Products with different modifier choices now remain separate in the cart even when their displayed title and price match, keeping every configuration and quantity correct.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;online-ordering&quot;&gt;Online Ordering&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Theme Compatibility:&lt;/strong&gt; Category navigation, sticky menus, back-to-top controls, and product modals now work more reliably across modern Shopify themes, including Horizon and other themes with custom scrolling layouts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Accurate Cart Updates:&lt;/strong&gt; Cart quantities, item lists, and order totals now update correctly as soon as products are added, while last-minute quantity changes are fully saved before checkout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cleaner New Orders:&lt;/strong&gt; Clearing a cart now also clears its previous notes, table, order type, and scheduling details, preventing information from an abandoned order carrying into the next one.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Better Overnight Scheduling:&lt;/strong&gt; Ordering hours that continue past midnight now produce the correct available times, keeping the open status and pickup schedule in sync.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clearer Modifier Pricing:&lt;/strong&gt; Multiple selected modifiers now keep their individual prices and display in the same easy-to-read order used by the POS Tile.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Reliable Checkout Hand-Off:&lt;/strong&gt; Location, table, order type, and fulfilment details are now saved before customers continue to checkout, including when using the Zapiet integration.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reliable Order Delivery:&lt;/strong&gt; Online orders now continue to reach the correct printers and Fresh KDS prep areas through the established location-routing path when Native Product Routing is not enabled, including for stores that have not approved its optional Shopify permission.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Zapiet Scheduling:&lt;/strong&gt; Zapiet pickup and delivery orders now retain the correct mapped location and scheduled time across supported date and time formats, including localised slash-formatted dates and daylight-saving changes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;order-tickets--kds&quot;&gt;Order tickets &amp;amp; KDS&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fresh KDS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accurate Scheduled Pickup Times:&lt;/strong&gt; Fresh KDS now receives a pickup time only for scheduled pickup and delivery orders, preventing ASAP and dine-in orders from being treated as scheduled while improving timezone accuracy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online Item Notes:&lt;/strong&gt; Item-level notes entered through Online Ordering now appear as special instructions in Fresh KDS instead of being omitted or repeated among the modifiers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Order tickets&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;POS Cafe Lite Printing Fix:&lt;/strong&gt; Order tickets created from POS Cafe Lite now include all item and modifier details correctly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Duplicate Ticket Prevention:&lt;/strong&gt; Improved order and printer processing prevents the same ticket from printing more than once when Shopify retries an order notification or a printer checks for work again.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Reliable Print Delivery:&lt;/strong&gt; Epson and Star print jobs now use durable, retry-safe batches, helping tickets recover cleanly from temporary connection or printer interruptions without being lost or repeated.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Epson Compatibility:&lt;/strong&gt; Corrected Epson print job identification so supported printers can reliably receive and confirm completed tickets.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Printer Device Sync Fix:&lt;/strong&gt; Restored reliable syncing between POS Cafe’s printer settings and the print server, including existing printer configurations that did not yet include a device status.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reliable Open-Tab Updates:&lt;/strong&gt; Successive saves, completed tabs, and recreated Shopify draft orders now preserve their dispatch history, helping ensure that only new or changed items are sent while configured native products continue to route correctly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cleaner POS Cafe Lite Tickets:&lt;/strong&gt; Epson and Star tickets now remove the hidden cart identifiers used to keep different modifier configurations separate, preventing stray symbols from appearing in item names.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;admin&quot;&gt;Admin&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clearer Printer Setup Feedback:&lt;/strong&gt; If printer settings are saved but cannot be synchronised with the print server, Admin now shows a clear error so the connection can be retried or investigated.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Safer Product Updates:&lt;/strong&gt; Improved validation and error feedback help prevent incomplete modifier settings and make it clear when Shopify has rejected a product update.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Zapiet Pickup &amp;amp; Delivery Integration:&lt;/strong&gt; POS Cafe Online Ordering now integrates with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://zapiet.com/shopify/store-pickup-delivery&quot;&gt;Zapiet Pickup &amp;amp; Delivery&lt;/a&gt; app. If you use Zapiet for advanced pickup, local delivery, or last-mile options, customers can build their order in your POS Cafe menu and schedule pickup or delivery through Zapiet at checkout.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seamless Hand-Off:&lt;/strong&gt; With the integration enabled, tapping &lt;strong&gt;View Cart&lt;/strong&gt; takes customers straight to your Shopify cart, where the Zapiet widget handles fulfilment.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location Mapping:&lt;/strong&gt; Map your Zapiet location IDs to your Shopify locations from the Integrations section of your POS Cafe settings.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flows to Your Kitchen:&lt;/strong&gt; Zapiet’s pickup and delivery details carry through to your order tickets and Fresh KDS.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online Ordering Only:&lt;/strong&gt; This integration applies to Online Ordering and doesn’t affect the POS Tile.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Translate &amp;amp; Customise Tile Text:&lt;/strong&gt; Translate any text in the POS Cafe tile into your language, or reword it to match your business’s own terms, all from POS Extension Translations, with no code required.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;online-ordering&quot;&gt;Online Ordering&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now Available:&lt;/strong&gt; The new Online Ordering extension is here! Rebuilt on Shopify’s Storefront API, it serves a live, market-correct menu with up-to-date prices, the right currency for each customer, and live availability with per-location sold-out overlays.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;QR Table Ordering:&lt;/strong&gt; Customers can scan a table’s QR code and land straight on your menu, already set to the correct location and table (shown as “Area - Table”, matching POS).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Menu Status at a Glance:&lt;/strong&gt; A new shop-level card and per-location indicator show whether each location’s menu is live, so you always know what customers can see.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Polished Mobile Experience:&lt;/strong&gt; A refreshed mobile view with larger tap targets, cleaner product cards, a clearer close button, and a smoother Add to Cart flow.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online Ordering Translations:&lt;/strong&gt; Translate or reword the storefront menu’s labels and buttons to match your language and your business’s terms, no code required.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Order Type Support:&lt;/strong&gt; The storefront now respects each location’s default order type.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;order-tickets--kds&quot;&gt;Order tickets &amp;amp; KDS&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fresh KDS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Reliable Sync:&lt;/strong&gt; Improved Fresh KDS syncing for more consistent updates during service.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;tables--open-orders&quot;&gt;Tables &amp;amp; open orders&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Table management&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Organise Your Venue:&lt;/strong&gt; Group your venue into dining areas and tables, each managed independently per location.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assign Tables in POS:&lt;/strong&gt; A new table bar on the browse and customise screens, plus a Tables entry button in the POS Tile, makes it easy to attach an order to the right table.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Per-Table Online Ordering:&lt;/strong&gt; Every table has its own copyable Online Ordering URL and QR code that links customers directly to your menu, pre-set to that table.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;POS Draft-Order Integration:&lt;/strong&gt; A per-area setting adds tables to POS draft orders, so open tabs are easy to tell apart across your locations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;admin&quot;&gt;Admin&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bulk Modifier Assignment:&lt;/strong&gt; Assign modifier sets to products in bulk from Cafe Collections, with clearer setup hints and smoother add/remove modals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Safer Editing:&lt;/strong&gt; Unsaved-changes prompts now appear consistently across settings and location pages, so you won’t accidentally lose your edits when navigating away.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
</content:encoded></item><item><title>POS Cafe changelog: May 2026</title><link>https://poscafe.app/changelog/2026-05/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poscafe.app/changelog/2026-05/</guid><description>A faster, refreshed tile, A new mobile layout, Order Types opt-out, and more.</description><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>&lt;h3 id=&quot;pos-cafe-tile&quot;&gt;POS Cafe tile&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Performance and reliability&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Faster Add to Cart:&lt;/strong&gt; Adding items to the cart is now noticeably quicker, especially when adding repeat items. Re-adding the same item with the same options now correctly increases the quantity instead of creating unnecessary duplicate lines.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smoother Navigation:&lt;/strong&gt; Moving between collections, products, and the customise screen is now faster and more responsive, reducing lag during busy service periods.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Layout:&lt;/strong&gt; Refreshed the POS Tile layout for a cleaner, more intuitive experience, with a completely redesigned mobile view that makes POS Cafe much easier to use on smaller screens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quicker Item Editing:&lt;/strong&gt; Opening an existing cart item to make changes now loads significantly faster, making it easier for staff to update orders on the fly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Modifier Reliability:&lt;/strong&gt; Fixed a rare timing issue where modifiers could fail to load if staff moved very quickly into a product.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clearer Discount Feedback:&lt;/strong&gt; If a Cafe Discount cannot be applied or removed while editing an item, POS Cafe now shows a clear message instead of failing silently.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;admin&quot;&gt;Admin&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Order Types&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Order Type Opt-Out:&lt;/strong&gt; Locations can now fully disable Order Types. When all order types are turned off for a location, staff will no longer see the Order Type selector in the POS Tile, and no order type will be added to cart or line item details.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Fresh KDS Routing:&lt;/strong&gt; Orders that contain items with different item-level order types are now split into separate Fresh KDS tickets, helping kitchen teams see each item under the correct order type.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cleaner Admin Settings:&lt;/strong&gt; Order Type settings now have a dedicated POS Extension section in the admin, with clearer layout and improved messaging when Order Types are turned off for a location.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Settings Save Fix:&lt;/strong&gt; Saving Order Type settings is now smoother, with the save bar closing correctly after the first save.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;performance--fixes&quot;&gt;Performance &amp;amp; fixes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Additional performance tuning, stability improvements, and bug fixes to keep POS Cafe fast and dependable across both the current and classic POS Tile experiences.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Timezone Handling:&lt;/strong&gt; Refined timezone logic for more accurate availability, scheduling, and order timing across locations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Money Format Fixes:&lt;/strong&gt; Fixed money formatting issues to ensure prices display cleanly and consistently throughout Online Ordering.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;order-tickets--kds&quot;&gt;Order tickets &amp;amp; KDS&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fresh KDS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clearer Order Details:&lt;/strong&gt; Improved handling for customer names, order numbers, table numbers, and order notes so kitchen teams have the key information they need at a glance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Reliable Order Processing:&lt;/strong&gt; Enhanced processing and idempotency logic to reduce duplicate events, improve retry behaviour, and keep Fresh KDS updates more consistent during busy service periods.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stability Improvements:&lt;/strong&gt; Additional bug fixes, performance refinements, and under-the-hood improvements for a smoother KDS experience.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Order tickets&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Ticket Information:&lt;/strong&gt; Customer names, order numbers, table numbers, and notes are now handled more consistently across order tickets, helping staff prepare and route orders with greater accuracy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shopify POS receipt templates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Better Customer &amp;amp; Order Context:&lt;/strong&gt; Receipt templates now handle customer names, order numbers, table numbers, and notes more reliably, making printed receipts clearer for both staff and customers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;tables--open-orders&quot;&gt;Tables &amp;amp; open orders&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open orders&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smarter Location Handling:&lt;/strong&gt; Improved location mapping, error handling, and fallback logic to make open order workflows more dependable across multi-location setups.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cafe Discounts (Highly Requested!):&lt;/strong&gt; Introducing the ability to create and manage discounts directly within POS Cafe. This powerful new feature allows you to assign specific discounts to individual cafe items right from the POS Cafe tile in Shopify POS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flexible Options:&lt;/strong&gt; Choose between a specific dollar amount off or a percentage off.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Streamlined Workflow:&lt;/strong&gt; Apply discounts quickly during the customise process without leaving the POS Cafe tile.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atomic Add to Cart:&lt;/strong&gt; We’ve completely re-engineered the add-to-cart process in POS Cafe v2.0 to deliver significantly faster performance during your busiest hours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s New:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Faster cart updates:&lt;/strong&gt; Optimised from multiple sequential operations to a single, streamlined process.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved reliability:&lt;/strong&gt; Eliminates timing issues that could occasionally result in missing modifiers or properties.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Better peak-hour performance:&lt;/strong&gt; Specifically designed to maintain speeds during the lunch and dinner rush.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What This Means for You:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reduced wait times when adding items to the cart (targeting 1-2 seconds consistently).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A smoother experience for your staff during high-volume periods.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More reliable order accuracy, with all modifiers and customisations applied instantly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This update is live for all POS Cafe v2.0 users and requires no action on your part.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
