With all of the new stuff in this release, we needed a new Admin section to house it all:
The new admin section allows for a more simplistic view of your Venue settings and control over all FocusOnline functions.
Order handling has been completely revamped. Starting with R20210112 orders are now fully cloud based. When a guest places a future order (either future day or same day/future time) the order is queued in the Cloud and sent down to the store at it's due time (minus lead time).
Each venue has three different Order Queue options:
Immediate
With Immediateorders are immediately sent to the store regardless of the guest's desired time.
Let's use an example: a guest places an order at 1:20PM on Wednesday 1/6/21 for pick up at 5PM Friday
Immediate mode: the order is immediately sent to the store and the restaurant will receive the order at 1:20PM on Wednesday 1/6. The order will go into sales for Wednesday 1/6.
This method allows the restaurant to get the order immediately and prepare for it as necessary.
Day Of
Day Of orders are sent to the store every day at a specified time. This is known as the Order Queue Daily Time. Any order received for that day after the Order Queue Daily Time will be sent to the store immediately, regardless of the guest's desired time.
Using our example from above, an order placed Wednesday at 1:20PM for pickup on Friday will fire Friday morning at 8AM (based on the above Order Queue Daily Time of 8AM.
Another example: An order placed on Wednesday 1/6 at 1:20PM for pick up at 7PM on Wednesday will fire to the kitchen immediately
Note - Order Queue Daily Time is in the restaurant's local time zone defined in Admin > Settings > General
Time Of
Time Of allows orders to be sent to the store at the necessary time, based upon the Order Lead Time (minutes) and the Guest's desired time.
Again with our example above: an order placed Wednesday at 1:20PM for pick up on Friday at 5PM will fire to the store at 4:30PM on Friday.
New Email Notifications!!
FocusOnline now has two new email notifications. One for the restaurant and one for the Guest.
Daily Orders
An email is now sent out every day for Venues in Day Of or Time Of mode with a list of their orders for the day.
The email is grouped into two sections:
Order Summary
Shows you a list of all pending orders for the day, along with due time, order total and the count of main-level items on the order. There is also a handy View Order button to view the order in more detail.
Item Summary
You get to see a list of all main-level items that are due today grouped by item.
Guest Email Receipt
Guests will now receive a more polished email receipt when they place their order. Optionally, a Venue can have this same email sent to them as well, to give them further notice of upcoming orders.
Full Price Control with UberEats integration
You can now specify which POS Price Number you would like to use for UberEats integration via the Integrations tab
