Summary:
Version 1.5.9 is packed with features that make everyday tasks faster, smarter, and more intuitive. We’ve overhauled Order Entry with new commands and a handy Quantity Picker, enhanced the guest payment experience on NX6 handhelds, and introduced powerful new tools like Split by Position, Adjust Price, and price-embedded barcode scanning.
On top of that, we’ve smoothed out countless details — from smarter team reports to rounded receipt values — ensuring that both staff and guests enjoy a smoother, more reliable NX experience.
✨ New Features & Improvements
- Smarter Order Entry Commands: Commands and discounts now live alongside modifier tiles, making it easier to adjust items on the fly.
- NX6 Handheld Payment Experience (Beta): Guests can now insert or tap their card anytime while reviewing their order. They’ll be smoothly guided into tip selection and approval without delays.
- Quantity Picker (Beta):
- A calculator-style pad on the right side of Order Entry makes entering quantities lightning-fast.
- Smart timeout logic: type “3” + “5” quickly for 35, or pause for a second and reset to 5.
- Tap the Qty label for an intuitive full picker interface.
- Faster Barcode Scanning: NX Handheld camera scanning is now quicker and more intuitive.
- New Share Order Command: Split an order evenly across new seats with one tap — then fine-tune item distribution as needed.
- Tip Adjust QR Code Scanning: From the Tip Adjust screen, scan the voucher’s QR code to instantly jump to that payment.
- Easier Order Naming: When renaming an order, the current name is pre-selected for quick edits.
- Cloud Printer Discovery: Device Info (Cloud) now shows printers discovered by each POS device, simplifying troubleshooting.
- Adjust Price: Employees with permission can now adjust item prices even after ringing — including open prices and cascading updates for related child items.
- Price-Embedded Barcode Support: Perfect for delis and weight-based items: scan and NX uses the price directly from the label.
- Inherited Price Points: Child items automatically adopt the parent’s price point (e.g., ice cream toppings follow the cup size).
- Required Price Point Selection: Automatically assigns the correct price point based on parent logic (think pizza matrix scenarios).
- Time Card Hours at Your Fingertips: Employees can view, print, or SMS their pay-period hours directly from the clock-in/out screen.
- Guest Count by Items: Menu Items can now increment guest counts automatically, reducing manual input.
- Improved Scale Integration: Automatic unit conversion makes weight-based pricing seamless.
Split by Position: Split an order based on seating positions with one action — shared “center of table” items stay on Seat 1, and multi-seat items route to the lowest seat number. Requires “Checks: Split Items” permission.
