Now instantly get visibility into the average sales per Dine-In customer at your restaurant. Compare average per cover sales over time, discover sales trends and make informed business decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Text alignment in Invoice Templates<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When customizing an Invoice Template with a header or footer, you can now specify text alignment with the new alignment buttons on the content editor toolbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">General Updates<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a. When adding a new staff or editing an existing one, the &#8216;Assign To&#8217; dropdown now displays all locations irrespective of type, be it Sales, Stock, or Sales and Stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">b. When creating a Staff Role or editing an existing one under Setup &gt; Staff, it is now mandatory to select at least one Access Right &amp; Permission for the role. This gracefully prevents error-ing out when users with that staff role log in to Sapaad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">c. Customer Notes in CRM can now be deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">d. We&#8217;ve disabled the ability to edit the Measurement Unit and Purchasing Details fields when editing an already created Ingredient or Finished Good. This will eliminate human error and prevent discrepancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e. When updating the cost per unit while receiving a Purchase Order or Stock Receipt, the Supplier Price remains unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">f. An Ingredient or Finished Good, if part of a consignment or Stock Take in progress, for e.g. a Purchase Order in transit or a Stock Take under review or unreconciled, cannot be deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">g. When exporting reports, we&#8217;ve improved the &#8216;export&#8217; behavior so that duplicate reports are not inadvertently exported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">h. When applying a value discount to an order, if the discount value is greater than the total amount of the order, Sapaad detects and disallows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">i. For improved menu performance, when uploading an image for your menu items, Sapaad now gracefully warns you if your image size is larger than 1 MB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">j. The POS screen, in particular, the discount panel for orders and items, are now fully cached, resulting in a large performance boost and resource saving. The POS, in general, should load 10-15% faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">k. The Business Summary on your dashboard has now been optimized for performance boosts and resource saving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">l. The Menu Setup screen has also been optimized for improved performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve got more exciting stuff coming and can&#8217;t wait to share it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to keep&nbsp;checking back our blog, and follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SapaadPOS\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SapaadPOS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Not using Sapaad yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ctaFooter\"><a href=\"\/\/www.sapaad.com\/try-sapaad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Try Sapaad for FREE!<small>No risk.
