Individual tax rates for preorders

You now have the option to expand your shopping cart for orders. You can now define individual tax rates. Via an additional input field for an ID to be checked, the tax rate defined for the ID is automatically applied to the order if it is valid. For each order, the user ID stored in the user profile can be checked by the user and updated if necessary.

*Mandatory field for email address & telephone number

In addition to the enhancements regarding tax rates, you now have the possibility to define new mandatory fields for your shopping cart. Up to now, the email address could only be entered as "optional" in the shopping cart. From now on, you can make the email address and a telephone number mandatory for your shopping cart.

If you have any questions about the shopping cart or ordering processes, please contact your qnips contact person!

Since the last Deploy, the onboarding process in the apps offers even more security with the obligatory creation of a user profile. You now have the possibility to make your app completely inaccessible to external users without a profile, or to ask each user to log in before using the app.

If you have any questions about the onboarding process in the qnips apps, please get in touch with your qnips contact person or simply send us an email!

In the qnips dashboard, you will now find the tab "Order reporting" within the menu management. With the order reporting you now have the possibility to export data for evaluation across all meal plans.

For each report, you can select an individual time period and the respective menus for which a report shall be created. In addition, you can define as many data records as you like, such as "gross sales" or "number of orders per day", in order to clearly obtain exactly the data you need. This makes daily, weekly or monthly financial statements very easy!

With the latest updates the qnips feedback system was extended. You now have the possibility to collect specific feedback on the respective ordering process from your guests directly after they have placed an order.

To activate feedback for preorders, simply select "Activate order feedback" under "Preorder" in the management for the menu plan. After that, you can simply select "Manage additional questions for transactions" in the "Feedback" menu item.

Here, you now have the option to define up to 8 additional questions that you would like to ask your guests. You can choose from pre-phrased questions or simply create your own individual ones. The app users will then receive a push notification with the survey and the users who order via the catering portal will be asked for feedback directly there.

If you have questions or want more information, please contact your qnips contact person!   

With the new updates another feature has been added to the menu management - the menu card. When creating a new menu plan, you can now select a menu card in addition to daily and weekly menu plans. Additional to the usual main categories, the menu card offers you the possibility to define several subcategories. This way you can structure your menu offers even more clearly for your guests:

The most important things at a glance:

• Simplified use
• Orders from an existing assortment
• Creation of any number of subcategories
• Visibility and orderability can be set individually for each product
• Products can be subsequently reordered

With the help of the new qnips feature "Stock Management" you can now adjust the quantities available for sale to the production planning. To do this, you can easily store a current stock for each meal in the qnips dashboard after activating the corresponding licence.  

For this feature, the menu management has been extended by the tab " Stock management". Using this tab, you can define a current portion number for each dish directly on the menu, as well as add an availability/best-before date (from - to). As soon as all portions have been sold or pre-ordered, the dish is automatically displayed as "sold out". In addition, you have the option of displaying the current stocks on the menu to your guests both in the app and in the catering portal. 

Regardless of the licensing for stock management, you now have the possibility to manually mark dishes and meals as "sold out" in the Menu Manager. 

For more information or questions about stock management, please contact us! 

Up to now, one language could be specified manually for the email dispatch and the push notifications. The language was selected from the languages in which the respective news content is maintained in the dashboard. Since the last deploy, the system now automatically detects the respective user language for all emails sent to dashboard users. 

This means that languages no longer have to be selected manually when sending news, but are automatically sent in the corresponding language that the user has set in the dashboard account. If a user language is not yet maintained for the corresponding content, the system sends a warning and automatically falls back to either the partnership language or English as a fallback.

Automatic language recognition for sending news to users of the apps and the catering portal is already in the implementation phase as the next step. And will be available soon!

In the app you already have the possibility to set certain filters for locations, with which the user can quickly and easily find out which stores offer, for example, a café or to-go offers. 

This is now also possible in the Catering Portal! There you can now also filter stores based on attributes, so that your customers can quickly and easily find the right locations. 

To do this, simply use the tag "cp-store-filter" in the dashboard's tagging system and supplement it with the function filters/sub-tags "cp-store-filter-icon" and/or "store-filter-icon-text." 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact your qnips contact person!

In the qnips app, you already have the possibility to display the current capacity utilization of your company restaurant with the help of a pie chart. In addition, you can show your customers the average peak times of the weekdays via a bar chart. 

In the Catering Portal, too, you already had the option of using the pie chart to display a percentage capacity utilization. In addition to this, you can now also display the peak times of the individual weekdays on the store detail pages!

This requires an existing People Counter license in the Catering Portal. If you have any questions or would like to activate a People Counter license, please contact your qnips contact person!

The database of the qnips system basically works with UTC time. But thanks to our TimeZoneId, the system recognizes in which time zone a customer is located, because it gets this information from the backend. So the corresponding time zone of the customer can be easily delivered to the apps.
