POS Order Entry Enhancements (5/9/25)

We are excited to announce enhancements to the POS order entry experience releasing early next week. You will see improved speed of interaction and increased reliability in unstable network environments.

You'll be able to add items to a pending order in rapid succession without waiting for stock availability checks. The current yellow highlight seen when adding an item will be replaced with a progress bar at the top of the order screen.  As you add items, the progress bar resets and allows you to continue building the order while we sync pending items in the background every 3 seconds.

Any unavailable items added to your pending order will highlight red and the item will be crossed out. Tapping the red highlight shows the reason for the item unavailability.  Any highlighted out-of-stock items will not be sent.

You will still see the offline notification banner if your POS loses network connectivity, but you will now be able to continue adding items to an in-progress order. This allows you to finish entering a guest's order in the event of a temporary network disruption. Once the POS has reestablished its network connection, you will then be able to send the order.
