Ordering

• Tips v2: Users can now configure new pre-defined tips values directly within the Management Center. These configured values will be seamlessly integrated with the new tips component, enhancing flexibility and customization in tip management. You can find more information on this article.

POS

• Brink POS

  • Configurable Total Price Mismatch Threshold: A configurable threshold (ranging from 0% to 10%) for total price mismatches on delivery marketplace orders was implemented. This threshold accounts for pricing differences, ensuring accuracy and consistency in order processing.

  • Additional Logging for Order Price Mismatches: Enhanced logging capabilities have been implemented for delivery marketplace order price mismatches. Detailed menu logs now provide exact differences between POS and marketplace pricing for individual items, tax, subtotal, and total amounts, enabling comprehensive order analysis and troubleshooting.

  • Toggle for Price Change Feature: A new toggle has been added at the store level to enable the price change feature. This toggle allows customers to utilize both manual pricing and Brink price changes concurrently, providing greater flexibility and control over pricing strategies. Please note that the price change feature was introduced in a previous release and has now been further enhanced for improved functionality.

Delivery

• MENU Link 2.0
  

  Link 2.0 is primarily aimed at enhancing performance, improving stability, and enabling scalability for the future. With the code refactored from Menu to a new architecture, we can expect faster and more reliable menu updates.

  • Architecture Enhancements:
    • Leveraging Amazon S3 for menu data transmission due to SQS message size limitations.
    • Utilizing Amazon SQS for independent scaling of each aggregator microservice with individual queues.
    • Implementing a throttling mechanism using a dedicated service within the link service infrastructure.
  • Data Flow and Processing Improvements:

    • Core sends menu updates to S3 for each enabled aggregator and notifies SNS, which pushes messages to the corresponding SQS.

    • Link service retrieves messages from SQS and menus from S3, processes them, and stores prepared menus in Redis.

    • The throttling service regulates message transmission to aggregators based on predetermined parameters.

• Order Readiness Notification to Drivers: For LINK orders placed through Doordash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub, we have implemented a feature that sends a notification to the driver when the restaurant staff marks the order as ready. This notification ensures that drivers are promptly informed when the order is ready for pickup, eliminating the need for them to enter the restaurant and manually check for order readiness.

Nucleus

• Enhanced Filter for Order Health Dashboard: Users can now create a filter specifically for the "Failed Orders Donuts" section of the order health dashboard. 

• Payment Error Messaging: Users will now receive detailed error messages in the event of a failed payment. This enhancement provides clarity, helping customers better understand the reason for payment failure.

• SMS Opt-Out Feature: Customers now have the option to opt out of receiving SMS order notifications for web orders.
