Updates
The following release notes detail the fixes we have included in this release.
HR-42056 Accurate prices for orders split by seat
In previous versions, when you ordered menu items in certain conditions, the POS may have charged prices for them that were lower than configured. In such cases, if you ordered an item that included ingredients and subitems, then associated it with a seat number, then added more items, then voided the first item, then split the order by seat, the POS may have miscalculated the ticket's total. We have corrected this, and the POS now calculates accurate totals for orders split by seat.
HR-53629 Accurate totals for Bad Debt in Daily Summary Report
In previous versions, if your location uses the Pay App EMV solution, you may have found discrepancies in totals for Bad Debt in the Daily Summary Report. In the Admin Portal's Main Menu, click Reports, then click Daily Summary. In the Daily Summary Report screen, in the Bad Debt section, the program may have listed inaccurate totals. In such cases, the program failed to include bad debt associated with tips. With this release, the Admin Portal calculates bad debt as expected:
transaction bad debt + adjustment(tips) bad debt.
HR-62585 Completed DoorDash orders transmit to POS
In previous versions, if your location uses the DoorDash service, you may have encountered an issue where an order was successfully placed - and completed - with DoorDash, but the transaction was never received by the POS. We have addressed this by reducing potential circumstances where a timeout might cause miscommunication between the two systems. Consequently, DoorDash is properly informed when its orders fail to transmit to the POS successfully, so corrective actions can be taken later.
HR-64147 POS displays accurate time zones for Avero orders
In previous versions, if your location uses the Avero service, the POS may have displayed orders imported from Avero with the UTC timezone, rather than the business' local timezone. We have corrected this, and the POS now converts and displays time zones accurately for imported Avero orders.
HR-64866 Daily Summary Report reporting limitations resolved for data prior to 2023
In previous versions, you may have experienced reporting limitations in the Daily Summary Report for records prior to 2023, possibly failing to find records that do exist for specified items and timeframes. Data prior to 2023 was already in archive tables. With this release, report queries in the Daily Summary Report now pull data from the archive tables as well.
HR-65071 "100% Comp" discounts apply accurate, expected amounts
In previous versions, you may have experienced circumstances where an item with no pricing rules, under a 100% comp discount, was discounted at greater than 100% of the total. This was reproducible when switching rooms and the item price was recalculated, but the item discount was not. With this release, we have confirmed that the 100% comp of the item discounts no more or less than expected, even when changing rooms.
HR-65452 Accurate statuses for approved transactions on printed receipts in Bridgeway locations
In previous versions, if your location uses the Bridgepay service, the POS may have printed receipts displaying a status of "Status: Failed", even when their transactions were authorized and charged successfully. We have corrected this, and the POS now prints accurate statuses for approved transactions on printed receipts.
HR-65665 Como guest names appear properly on printed tickets
In previous versions, when a customer placed a Como loyalty order but had not yet consented to the terms, the kitchen printer ticket may have displayed "no consent" rather than the expected guest's name. With this release, the POS prints the guest's name properly for Como customers in kitchen tickets.
HR-66011 POS allows entering reasons for discounts with customizable prices
In previous versions, if your location is configured to require servers to enter a reason when applying a discount, they may have been unable to. Specifically, if you applied a discount with a customizable price to a ticket, you may have been unable to enter a reason when prompted for one because of a flaw in the POS's graphical interface. We have corrected this flaw, and now when the POS prompts you for a discount reason, you can enter one properly.
HR-66147 Group by Revenue Center option added to Items Report
You can now group items in the Items Report by revenue center. In the Admin Console's Main Menu, click Reports, then click Items. In the Items Report screen, we have added the Group by Revenue Center switch, just above the Report Filter list. If you enable the Group by Revenue Center switch, the Admin Portal will add the Revenue Center column to the Items Report, and it will group all items in the report by revenue center. The program will list all items that are not associated with a revenue center at the bottom of the report, in a group labeled "NO REVENUE CENTER".
HR-66262 Monetary Gift Card boarding form displays when appropriate
In previous versions of Genius Classic, when accessing Payment Gateway settings in locations where Datacap is enabled, the Monetary/Octopi Gift Card boarding form appeared when it should only appear when Monetary/Octopi Gift Card is specifically selected. With this release, it only appears under the correct conditions and not when Datacap is selected as the Payment Gateway for Gift Cards.
HR-66287 Group by Revenue Center option added to Ingredients Report
You can now group items in the Items Report by revenue center. In the Admin Console's Main Menu, click Reports, then click Ingredients. In the Ingredients Report screen, we have added the Group by Revenue Center switch, just above the Report Filter list. If you enable the Group by Revenue Center switch, the Admin Portal will add the Revenue Center column to the Ingredients Report, and it will group all ingredients in the report by revenue center. The program will list all ingredients that are not associated with a revenue center at the bottom of the report, in a group labeled "NO REVENUE CENTER".
