  • Streamline Operations with Guest Cover Management

    With WaiterOne, adding “covers” allows you to seamlessly record the number of guests at each table, streamlining order management, enhancing accuracy, and providing valuable insights into guest traffic for improved reporting and operational efficiency. To activate go to Settings -> General -> Tables.

    Underneath is also an option to also ask a remark when opening a table e.g. VIP, no salt, …

    Set the default number of places.

    All order tickets, to the bar, kitchen,… will have the number of covers and the remark you entered. The remark will not appear on the final bill of course.

  • What’s New in WaiterOne POS for iOS 18


    Automatic E-mail Ticketing
    Tickets can now be emailed directly without manually entering the email address, improving workflow efficiency and reducing errors. This update allows front-end staff to focus more on customer service than email entry.

    Flexible Print Options
    WaiterOne POS offers a setting to skip bill printing for transactions below a specified amount, helping reduce paper usage and printing costs. This customizable threshold lets managers tailor billing practices to fit business and environmental goals.

    Remember you can still decide to print the bill. Just press a bit longer (> 1.2 seconds) on the bill button and the ticket will be printed (although the total is less then the minimum to print the bill). Another option is also to ask a copy of a bill, see the tickets button above the order/bill/pay main buttons.

    Improved Product Sorting
    The COS interface now sorts products with numerical names first, followed by alphabetical items. This logical order helps staff locate products faster, especially in large catalogs, improving speed and accuracy during busy hours.

    Payments and VAT/TAX in CSV
    CSV export is now available for Day Payments and Day VAT/TAX reports, allowing easy data transfer for financial analysis. This feature streamlines accounting and enhances reporting by simplifying daily transaction and tax data management.

    Enhanced Reporting

    The Reports section for Day, Hours, and Tables/Clients now includes cover counts, enabling easier tracking and analysis of guest numbers. This update simplifies the assessment of dining trends, service volume, and table turnover.
