What’s new in Lightspeed Restaurant’s POS app?

Improvements

  • Item splitting:
    • We’ve made the process of splitting an item across multiple seats faster and more intuitive.
    • If you make a mistake when splitting an item, you can now easily revert the split.
  • Port forwarding:
    • It’s no longer necessary to enter a port when specifying the server URL or LiteServer IP.
    • By default, it will use port 443 for cloud servers and 8080 for LiteServers.
  • Payment processing:
    • The process for voiding payments on Dejavoo terminals is improved.
    • You can now assign a default Verifone terminal for individual iOS devices, eliminating the need to manually select a payment terminal.
  •  Receipt templates:
    • We’ve added an option for hotel restaurants and bars that allows you to print the guest’s name and room number on receipts.
  • Service Charges:
    • You can now create Open Price Service Charges so that the user is prompted to specify the price on-the-go.

What’s new in Lightspeed Restaurant Manager?

Improvements

  • We’ve made the user permission settings for report printing more flexible. You can allow users to print only certain types of reports.
  • Advanced Reporting:
    • We added new filters for use when creating new reports. You can now refine your displayed data by shift, floor, table and/or user. These filters can be used on their own or in combination with one another.
    • In the Custom Table component, you can now add columns to display revenue for a designated category type, whereas previously you had to select each category within the category type.
  • Shift Settings:
    • There’s a new Shift Settings section in the Report Settings where you can create and edit shifts as well as specify a start/end time for each shift.
    • Creating shifts here also allows you to filter reports by shift in Advanced Reporting.

Note: Some features require your LiteServer to be updated to version 5.2. This update will take place automatically in the coming weeks. If you want to have your LiteServer updated sooner, contact Support.
