NX Restaurant - Release 1.5.12

December 2025

📌 Summary

NX POS 1.5.12 introduces major improvements across the board—from smoother gratuity and fee handling, improved floor plan performance, refined printing logic, and expanded reporting features to the introduction of Web Orders View. We've also enhanced QR-based Gift Card lookup, added new Tip Suggestion behaviors, and continued our investment in NX6 reliability, card processing resilience, and background logging infrastructure.
