NX Restaurant - Release 1.6.2

Updated

NX Restaurant - Release 1.6.2

This update introduces native Screen Sharing directly from the NX Portal, powerful Per-Seat Kitchen Printing, and massive quality-of-life improvements for ordering with smart modifier selections. Behind the scenes, we've completely overhauled our logging system and squashed critical printer crashes to keep your operations running smoothly.

🌟 New Features & Enhancements

Kitchen Printing & Routing 🖨️

  • Per-Seat Remote Tickets: From Printing Formats, you can now configure Remote Chits to Separate Chit by Seat. When enabled, the kitchen will receive a separate ticket for each individual seat rather than one massive, combined ticket for the entire check.

  • Seat Position Headers: When per-seat ticket splitting is active, the specific seat position is clearly appended to the check number line on the kitchen ticket (e.g., "Check #42 / Seat 2") to eliminate confusion on the line.

Native Screen Share (Beta) 📺

  • Portal Screen Share: You can now remotely view the POS device directly from the NX Portal—no third-party apps (like Esper) required!

  • Privacy & Control: When a Screen Share session is active, the POS device will clearly display the screen share status in the top bar. A user on the floor can tap this status at any time to instantly terminate the session.

Ordering & Splitting Workflow 🍽️

  • Smart Modifier Selection: If a modifier category requires a single selection (Min 1 / Max 1) and there is only one option available, NX will now automatically select it when the parent item is added. This eliminates unnecessary taps!

  • Smart Modifier Quantities: Modifier items that trigger a Quantity Prompt will now intelligently default to the remaining available quantity. 
    (Example: If the category max is 10, and you ring in 2, the prompt for the next modifier will default to 8).

  • Smarter Splitting: When splitting orders, any applied Fees will now automatically copy over to the new seats, matching the existing behavior for Gratuities.

  • Quantity Prompts:

    • The item quantity prompt now displays the actual Menu Item Name as the dialog title instead of a generic label.

    • Predefined quantity values are now displayed in a vertical, scrollable list (rather than a horizontal row) making them much easier to tap on all device sizes.

  • Support for Suppress Pop-To Areas

  • Gift Card Enhancements

    • Gift Cards with QR codes can now be scanned directly from the Gift Card Account screen.

🐛 Bug Fixes

We've improved stability and fixed UI glitches, especially regarding printers and check splitting.

  • Stability & Hardware:

    • Fixed a critical crash (SIGABRT in EdevIo_tcp_write) on Epson printers caused by the SDK's internal monitor thread racing with the idle-disconnect timer. Printer connection is now much more stable.

    • Fixed column width mapping for Epson TM-M30 and TM-M30II. These models now correctly print at 42 columns (the TM-M30III correctly remains at 48 columns).

    • Fixed an issue where the Guest Display would incorrectly mirror the Main Display after a Remote Session from Esper ended.

  • UI/UX & Workflow:

    • Fixed a race condition in the Split Item workflow where item quantities would briefly revert in the UI before updating.

    • Fixed an issue where the Add Seat button would fail to duplicate Gratuities to the newly created seat(s).

    • Fixed an issue preventing deleting 2nd level+ modifiers via swipe-delete.

  • Receipts & Printing:

    • Fixed an issue where Payments Applied would fail to print on the Guest Receipt.

    • Fixed a formatting issue with the Balance Due label on certain receipt configurations.

    • Improved reliability of Epson printing & device discovery.

🔮 Behind the Magic

This update includes a massive rewrite of our internal logging to ensure faster, more accurate troubleshooting.

  • Universal Logger Alignment: Migrated 70+ files to the new NxLogEntry wire format, matching the NX Universal Logger standard shared across the API, mobile app, and portal.

  • Structured Error Logging: Errors are now logged as a structured NxLogError object (name, message, stack, fatal, code) rather than a flat string.

  • Optimized Payloads: LogglyLogger now strips out null fields (explicitNulls = false), significantly reducing network noise and improving log query performance.

  • Enhanced Traceability: * Identity fields (venueId, userId, deviceId, appVersion, etc.) are now auto-injected by LogManager on every entry.

    • Added NxEventType enum to group logs by domain (e.g., AUTH, PAYMENT, PRINTING).

    • Printer disconnect lifecycle events are now explicitly captured and visible in cloud logs.

  • SDK Updates: 

    • Updated dsiEMVAndroid to 3.17.

    • Updated Epson SDK to 2.36.0.

  • Database: Room database schema updated to version 882.
