NX Restaurant - Release 1.5.10

Summary:

Update 1.5.10 further refines the power and polish of NX POS. It introduces new tools to streamline workflows, including Refire Menu Items, dynamic gratuity handling across split orders, and enhanced receipt formatting. In addition to improving cloud/device sync behaviors, this release lays foundational work for third-party kitchen integration. With key bug fixes and responsive UI tweaks based on user feedback, this version helps staff move faster, more confidently, and with fewer surprises.

✨ New Features & Improvements

• Rush Menu Items
  • Send or refire items as RUSH.
  • Creates a remote chit with header and footer information indicating RUSH.
• Refire Menu Items
  • Quickly resend items to the kitchen from any open order with the new Refire command.
  • Permissions required: Check Items: Refire.
  • Employees can select which routing destinations the items are sent to, giving them fine control in the moment.
• Notes on Menu Items
  • Note command allows you to type in a note or instruction that is not tracked and is printed on remote chits and displays as a note under the menu item.
• Gratuity Enhancements
  • Gratuities now automatically persist across all newly created seats if one already has a gratuity.
  • This feature integrates cleanly with Split by Pos, Share Order, and Split Order.
• Increment Guest Count Enhancements
  • Guest count changes now follow items when moved between orders, keeping the count accurate on both source and destination.
• Guest Receipt Formatting
  • Modifiers on guest receipts can now be shown in three different styles:
    • List: Each modifier prints on its own line (classic format).
    • Wrapped: Modifiers printed sentence-style with commas.
    • None: Modifiers hidden entirely.
  • Venues can also toggle between consolidated and separated printing formats for receipts.
• Remote Chit Enhancements
  • Like guest receipts, remote chits can now print using consolidated or separated mode.
• UI Refinements
  • Disabled buttons (e.g., out-of-stock items) now have clearer, more distinctive color styling in both light and dark modes.
• Shift Review Screen Configuration
  • Venues can now control the Shift Review experience at the job level in the portal.
  • Found under Portal > Jobs > Schedule & Time Clock.
  • This setting is ON by default.
• Behind the Scenes Enhancements
  • NX6 & NX8 handhelds and tablets will now automatically resync when waking from sleep.
  • Regular timed syncs with NX Cloud have been added to reduce reliance on NX-IOT alone.
  • Venue End-of-Day Reload (optional): When enabled, POS Devices will fully reload their configuration at End of Day for a fresh start.
