This June, we introduced a ton of exciting enhancements to Sapaad including barcode scanning in the POS interface, the ability to enable discounts for specific order types, and much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case you missed it, here\u2019s what&#8217;s new:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">POS Barcode Scanning<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/barcode.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4351\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sapaad now supports barcode scanning in the Point of Sale interface! Instantly add retail items to your bill by scanning barcodes. Great for retail F&amp;B and for rapid, easy checkout! <a href=\"\/\/www.sapaad.com\/2017\/06\/21\/introducing-barcode-scanning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Discounts by Order Types<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www-review2.sapaad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Discount-Location-1024x800.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41494\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You now have the ability to enable item and order discounts for specific order types. For e.g. You might want to offer a special discount that applies only for your Delivery orders but not for your Dine-In orders. You can easily do that when creating a new discount or editing an existing one. Simply visit <em>Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Location Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Surcharges and Discounts<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Export your Menu with cost\/profit information!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www-review2.sapaad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Export-Recipe-1024x800.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41504\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can now export a complete list of your menu items along with their respective cost, sale price and profitability. Simply visit <em>Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Inventory Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Recipes<\/em> and click on the new Export button on the upper right for an item-wise breakdown of your food costing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Show orders on Dispatch Screen for specific Order Types<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www-review2.sapaad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dispatch-Screen-1024x800.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41499\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve updated the Dispatch Screen section under <em>Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Location Setup<\/em> so that you can now choose which order types you&#8217;d like to show on the Dispatch Screen. For e.g. You may want only your Walk-In and Take-Away orders to show on the Dispatch Screen. To set this up, visit <em>Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Location Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Dispatch Screen<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Browser zoom support on the POS screen<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve enhanced the usability of the POS screen so that it works better when you use your browser&#8217;s &#8220;Zoom&#8221; feature (to fit more on your screen). When completing a transaction, the payment type buttons now play nice and have an improved response. However, please note that Sapaad has been designed to work best at standard 100% zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Security Enhancement<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a user is assigned to a default page, however, does not have access permissions for that page, they will be informed to update the page permission settings for their Role in Setup or to contact their Administrator if they do not have access to Setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Improved Network and Latency Performance<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve upgraded our CDN infrastructure to provide improved latency and caching, resulting in responses that are more quick, reliable and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Additional Updates<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a.&nbsp;We&#8217;ve rearranged the sections under <em>Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Location Setup<\/em> for improved clarity: there are new sections called &#8220;Dispatch Screen&#8221; and &#8220;Token Screen&#8221; which include the settings for dispatch screen and token screen respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">b. There is now a new access permission under <em>Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Staff<\/em> called &#8220;View Token Screen&#8221; to enable staff access to the Token Screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">c. When resetting a password, entering an incorrect email address will prompt an &#8220;Email not found&#8221; message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">d. When updating the price of a menu item under <em>Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Location Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Menu<\/em>, Sapaad now detects and disallows null values in the Branch Price field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e. When updating your location details in Sapaad, under <em>Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Location Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>General Details<\/em>, the country selected cannot be changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">f.&nbsp;For Grouped Items listed under <em>Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Location Setup<\/em> &gt; <em>Menu<\/em>, we&#8217;ve disabled the Branch Price field by default as prices are not relevant to Grouped Items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">g. For orders punched in the Offline Mode that are settled with a payment type other than cash, the invoice now displays the corresponding payment types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">h. Additional stability and performance enhancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve got more exciting stuff coming up, and we can&#8217;t wait to share it with you!
