• Major speed-up: the app now opens straight into the register and stays there — no more bouncing to the dashboard or freezing on launch. • Fixed a cold-start lag spike on busy days — today's orders load fast and the register stays responsive. • Tapping Cash now fires the kitchen ticket instantly (no more delay before it prints). • The Online Ordering settings page opens much faster. • Navigation throughout the app is snappier, with less first-open lag.

• Receipt printing is far more reliable — running out of paper or hitting a printer error no longer crashes or freezes the app. You'll get a clear prompt to reload paper and try again, or proceed without printing. • Fixed runaway and duplicate ticket printing on Epson printers (tickets piling up across orders). • Printers reconnect cleanly after being powered off — no more restarting the app to get them back. • Card reader pairing no longer shows a false "connection failed" when the reader actually connected — it now shows Connected. • Fast Tickets fires the kitchen the instant you tap Cash, before the amount screen, so the line keeps moving. • Tax Exempt is now available when closing an open tab. • Fixed checkout jumping back to the dashboard after every order when the receipt prompt was turned off. • Stability and checkout polish throughout.

• New — Auto Gratuity: turn on a mandatory gratuity (for example 20%) in Settings → Sales & Orders. It's added to every card charge automatically, and the reader then asks the customer for any additional tip on top. • More reliable card payments on busy or slow Wi-Fi — charges now retry through brief network drops instead of failing, and the reader connects to the correct device instead of grabbing a stray Bluetooth reader. • Faster bar service — bar-mode card charges complete in a single step so the tip prompt appears reliably. • The card-reader picker keeps the readers it finds during setup instead of flickering them in and out.

• Fixed freezes where the payment screen could get stuck on "Processing Payment" — tapping the same card twice, or confirming a large tip on the reader, now shows the confirmation prompt reliably instead of locking up the screen. • More reliable S710 card-reader pairing — the reader picker now keeps the devices it finds and auto-retries discovery instead of going blank and forcing a re-register. • Card statements show YOUR business name instead of the platform name on in-person (tap/insert) charges. • Carryover from 3.5.26: faster dashboards/reports/transactions (backend caching), live in-app agent support, custom report time frames, labor dashboard, pop-up feedback fixes, and the customer-name fallback on receipts.

• Fixed a freeze where the card screen could get stuck on "Processing Payment" if the same card was tapped twice — the duplicate-charge warning now appears reliably so you can confirm or cancel instead of being blocked. • Card statements show YOUR business name instead of the platform name on in-person (tap/insert) charges. • Carryover from 3.5.26: faster dashboards/reports/transactions (backend caching), live in-app agent support, custom report time frames, labor dashboard, pop-up feedback fixes, and the customer-name fallback on receipts.

• App Review compliance fix — the first-launch location permission prompt's primary button reads "Continue" (was "Enable Location") and no longer shows a location pin icon. Apple flagged 3.5.21/111 under guideline 5.1.1(iv) for nudging the user toward granting permission. Same code path otherwise; the iOS system dialog still appears immediately after the tap. • Everything from 3.5.21/111 stays in this build: transaction-mode payment overlays restored, Category Tile mode + drag reorder, KDS color-coded ticket outlines (3-color cycle per order), whole-ticket refire from expo, refire blocked after cashier completes, reports loading skeleton matches content, Stripe-restricted banner no longer flashes on provider switch, large-tip safety check on the S710 reader. Plus the 3.5.17–3.5.19 carryover (modifier line layout, All Day cycle, queued chip, recall/refire/reprint with modifiers, Cash Drawer reconciliation, Kitchen Receipt station, In Person tab, Demo provider).

• Fix — KDS recall, refire, and reprint kitchen tickets now include every item's modifier lines (Extra Cheese, Add a side of Ranch, etc.). Previously the recall reprint stripped all modifier rows for online orders, leaving the chef recooking without them. • Includes everything from 3.5.17: Pre-Orders with KDS lead-time release + receipt "pick up by" banner, new "In person" tab on the Orders queue, Yesterday in the Sales Report export, missed-shift entry on the Clock screen, storefront About section + custom URL picker, two new Hardware toggles ("Don't Ask for Receipt" / "Don't Ask for Phone"), reliability fixes.

• Nexus — our rebuilt checkout engine runs every step of a card transaction in parallel instead of one after another, for dramatically faster checkouts that keep your line moving. • Spanish language support — switch the entire app to Spanish from Settings. • Online order sales tax — starting June 1, Eventini collects and remits the sales tax on your online orders as the marketplace facilitator; a one-time in-app notice walks you through it. • Clearer alerts — a "No Wi-Fi" message when the network drops at PIN entry, and an out-of-stock prompt before ringing up a hidden item. • Reliability — fixes for the occasional freeze after a transaction, smoother Stripe reader reconnects, and a faster end-of-session summary.

• Fast Cash — a new Sales & Orders setting that rings up cash sales instantly by skipping the customer-facing reader prompts. • Cash drawer totals across Reports, Banking, and the session summary now show the true cash collected on-site, with duplicate cash orders de-duped automatically. • Card reader reliability — the reader no longer gets stuck "in use" after a force-quit, and a stale reader is caught before a charge instead of freezing on "waiting for card". • Kitchen Display — refired items now reliably reappear on the correct station's screen. • New Order Screen text-size setting — enlarge cart item names and modifiers for easier reading. • The end-of-session summary now appears on every exit with a running daily total for your location.

• Push notifications now scope to each iPad's set location — only the iPad bound to a location wakes for that location's orders. • Cash Tip Reconciliation at session close — record cash tips per staff and see them on every POS, dashboard, and organization report. • Multi-iPad reader sharing — pairing the same Stripe reader to two iPads coordinates cleanly with a "Take Over" handoff and a 60s grace mid-transaction. • Stripe S710 reader auto-reconnects after a Wi-Fi drop, with battery + green / amber / red status visible on the register screen. • Call-In Orders — opt-in order type for phone-in pickups with UNPAID receipts and a clear UNPAID chip on the KDS. • Invoices now support deposits and multi-installment auto-charge schedules. • Cash, Open Tab, and Card + Tip overlays no longer freeze on a failed write — you get a toast and a clean retry instead of a force-quit. • KDS station view: paint specific modifier groups (NO, ALLERGIES) in per-group colors so critical lines stand out.

• Faster cold start — splash screen comes down ~1–3 seconds sooner on every launch. • Cancel works on every payment overlay (initializing, waiting, processing, etc.). • Optional + buttons let you ring up multiples of the same modifier (2× Ranch). • Receipt screen leads with the iPad picker; no more duplicate "waiting for customer" spinner. • Managers now see Transactions, Refunds, and Online Ordering (still no Reports/Banking). • KDS tickets show full content — no more "..." cut-offs — and big tickets paginate. • Storefront always shows the location pill; checkout asks customers to confirm the pickup location.

• Bar Mode card flow charges in one tap — pre-auth, tip prompt, and receipt all run automatically with no separate Open Tab step. • Cleaner Gift Card sheet, single back button in Settings, and Tabs panel keeps just Open and Closed views. • Manager-only surfaces (Transactions, Online Ordering, Integrations) are now hidden from cashier and cook accounts.

• Tab improvements — searchable, sortable, filterable open tabs list with a redesigned compact layout. Tab detail opens as a full screen with a three-dot actions menu (Nightly Close, Apply Discount, Delete Tab). • Apply Discount on a tab — pick from saved presets (Employee, Friends & Family, etc.) or any custom %, manager PIN gated, shown as a line item with a long-press to remove. • Bar Mode — hardware setting that streamlines the reader-side flow for high-volume bars: tap → tip → receipt prompt on the reader. Skips the rewards lookup and iPad receipt picker entirely. • Gift card refunds — refunds now re-credit the gift card portion automatically, with the card portion still going to Stripe. • Reliability fixes across tab open / close, discount math, and modal dismissal.

• Gift cards: issue at the register, scan QR to redeem, deliver by email or text, and customers see a live balance page. • New Gift Cards Report — outstanding liability and per-card detail. • Comps and discounts now break out separately in every sales report.

• Online delivery orders now appear on every prep KDS, route to the correct prep printers, and trigger the same delivery confirmation text customers get from in-person orders. • Auto-complete on expo bump runs the full cashier completion: customer notifications, customer record update, and cross-device delivery slip print. • Cross-device printing — refires, kitchen reprints, customer receipt prints, and delivery slips fire from any iPad and land on whichever iPad has the printer paired. • Order detail now shows the order type (Delivery / Carry-Out / Dine-In) and the delivery fee as its own line item. • Reports and transactions dashboard break out delivery revenue and delivery fees collected, including in the downloadable sales report PDF and CSV export. • Tab close polish: the tip prompt now shows the actual remaining charge, and tabs with a customer email or phone get a receipt sent automatically once paid. • Multi-station kitchen tickets show a DELIVERY label on every prep ticket; the destination address block prints only on the final runner slip. • Operating Hours "Same every day" toggle now applies edits to all seven days immediately. • Optional QR code on customer receipts that links to your storefront URL — opt in via Settings → Hardware → Receipts. • Reliability fixes: completing an order whose record was deleted on another device no longer red-banners, and location settings (no-cash delivery, sub-zones, delivery fee, tip toggle) now persist on save.

• Updates to fee accounting and order reporting accuracy. • Reliability and performance improvements.

• Per-location "Show Tip Option" toggle in Settings → Locations. Off = the iPad tip screen, S710 / S700 reader tip prompt, and Tap-to-Pay-on-iPhone tip step are all skipped at that location, with payments charging at $0 tip — useful for fast-counter or no-tip-policy storefronts. • Cashier-side Complete on a delivery order now prints a runner slip (address, unit, instructions, big bold PAID/UNPAID banner) at the receipt printer. Place-time print removed so you don't get duplicate slips. • New "Delivery Receipts" stepper in Settings → Print Copies — independent copy count for the runner slip, separate from regular customer receipts. • Multi-printer fan-out for menu categories — pencil-edit a printer station to pick exactly which categories print there. A category can route to multiple printers (e.g. Kitchen + Expo) so the expediter sees the full ticket while the line cook only sees food. • Print queue now drains correctly back-to-back. Completing two delivery orders in a row no longer leaves the second one's slip sitting in the queue. • Mobile: cleaned up the order card header so the Delivery / #order / customer name / UNPAID pill row wraps cleanly instead of clipping off the right edge of the iPhone. • Mobile: Charge in the cart sheet now correctly opens the Delivery Details sheet on phone (was failing silently due to a modal-stacking race). • Mobile: Current Order sheet has a tight Dine-In / Carry-Out / Delivery selector at the top so you can pick destination without backing out. • Reports dashboard now shows a Refunds line between Gross Sales and Net Sales when refunds are present, so the math reconciles visually. • Menu Performance + Rush Hours: Today / Week / Month / 3 Months / Year / All toggle, plus refund-aware revenue (partial refunds now reduce per-item revenue and per-hour revenue proportionally). • Receipt formatter cleanup — removed the duplicate ===/--- divider stacks pre page break so each ticket prints with a single clean strip. • Settings → Hardware → pencil edit on a printer now opens a unified editor (rename + category routing) instead of just renaming. • Hardened the printer SDK loader so a missing native module no longer surfaces a "new NativeEventEmitter requires non-null argument" red box on the printer-setup screen.

• Catering — when your menu has a Catering category, the storefront grows a Catering tab so customers can place event orders alongside regular ordering. Catering checkouts route to a dedicated Catering inbox on the iPad with event-day context (date, time, guest count, service type) instead of mixing into the regular orders queue. Pushes are tagged so a new catering request deep-links straight to the inbox. • Catering visibility across reports — the Order History, Sales Report, Reports dashboard, Banking, and the home dashboard all surface "of which X catering / $Y" so the operator can see event work without splitting the math. Cancelled or refunded catering still shows in Order History (audit trail) while staying out of Net Revenue. • Role-based permissions — managers and cashiers now see a tailored app. Reports, Banking, Payouts, and Online Ordering are owner-only; non-owners with the manage_storefront permission can still operate the storefront. Bottom-nav tabs and the More menu hide entries staff can't reach. Revenue is masked on the dashboard for non-owners, with an owner-gated reveal. • Tap to Pay opened to all roles — previously a setup gate only accepted managers; cashiers can now run Tap to Pay sales directly. • Staff invite from /pos/dashboard — adding a teammate from the web now sends both an email AND an SMS with the iPad welcome link. Phone, email, and date-of-birth fields format as you type. The "Other" role is rename-able with a per-permission checklist so custom roles get exactly the access you grant. • Sign-out fix — switching accounts on a shared iPad no longer resurrects the previous staff member after a force-quit. Location switching is now scoped to a staff member's assigned locations, and the location pill resolves to a specific location instead of a stale "All locations" label. • Receipt + post-checkout sheets rewritten on a unified bottom-sheet pattern — explicit dismiss only (no accidental swipe-down or backdrop-tap closures), and the iPad page-sheet gray bleed is gone. The Phone Number screen always shows a Skip button even when phone is required, so the cashier can move on. • Banking — new ACH cash-settlements section under Payouts; the cash-settlement-link flow restyled to match the rest of Banking; org cash-settlement market_rate display fix (was showing 1000% on some orgs). • Math Breakdown modal redesigned — every Net Sales / Banking / Reports number is tappable and opens a clean financial-statement explainer with sub-formulas where relevant.

• Cash Discount no longer prints on credit-card or manual-card receipts. Audited 729 SapSap orders and found 88 card tickets where cash_discount had been stamped equal to the service fee — silently zeroing Eventini's recorded fee on those tickets and inflating provider net sales. POS write paths are now gated to cash + split payments, and a server-side guard ignores any phantom cash-discount on non-cash methods that still slips through. A read-only backfill script is ready for the historical rows. • Online orders missing from the sales report — fixed. Late-evening Chicago orders were being filtered against UTC day-boundaries and falling onto the next day. The dashboard refires + tips endpoints now bucket day boundaries in the provider's timezone. • Tabs — per-item delete + −1 decrement. Long-press an item on an open tab to delete the line; if quantity > 1, a "−1" button decrements in place (e.g. for a group of 15 where one walked away). Persists to firestore. • Tabs — deleting a tab now clears the cart, the active charge sheet, and the reader display. No more lingering items requiring an app restart. • Tabs — Manual Card on a tab now picks up the tab's actual total (was sending $0 because the empty new-items cart was being read instead). • Tabs — close path retries the firestore write up to 3 times so the row never gets stuck "open" after a captured charge. • Manual Card — wrapped in try/finally so the modal always closes and the loading state always resets, even on an unexpected error after charge approval. Fixes the post-charge freeze. • Cash payment sheet — only the Cancel button dismisses. Tapping the dimmed background no longer closes the sheet. • Phone-on-tab-additions — when adding new items to an open tab, an optional phone field is shown. If filled, that customer is texted when their kitchen ticket is bumped complete (independent of the tab's main customer phone, so the regular who comes back for a second course can be pinged without overwriting the original). • Settings → Notifications → Messaging Templates — customize the SMS body for Order Confirmed, Order Ready, Tab Food Ready, and Receipt. Live token chips show what's substituted ({order_number}, {provider_name}, etc.). Defaults restorable per-template. • Order Strip — new thin ticker pinned to the bottom of the POS chrome on every screen except orders / KDS / refires / modals / employee / auth. Each tile shows order # and wait time, color-coded by age. Tap to mark complete, long-press to open detail. • Notifications — tapping a new-order push on an idle iPad now deep-links straight to the orders screen (no clock-in detour when PIN-on-app-open is off). The brief green ticket-highlight still fires. • Notifications — foreground new-order pushes silently no-op so the cashier doesn't have to physically dismiss a modal Alert. Order simply appears on the orders screen and Order Strip. • Storefront — per-location online-ordering toggle, hours, and items. Turning off online ordering at one location no longer shuts the whole storefront down — that location is filtered out of the picker; remaining open locations keep taking orders. • Storefront — public storefront now displays provider description, social links (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter), and external links above the menu (POS-side editing UI for these fields ships in the next release).

• Push Bar — sequential multi-station KDS workflow for restaurants. Each iPad picks its role (Cashier / Prep KDS / Expo) and orders flow station-to-station: chef hits Continue, the item lands on the next station with a green "just arrived" cue, expo aggregates the full order before handing off to the cashier. Per-item routing means the Pizza KDS only sees pizzas, the Bar KDS only sees drinks. Real-time Firestore sync — no refresh needed. • Refire from Expo + Cashier — kitchen messed up an item? Tap Refire on the order screen, pick a reason (Under-cooked / Wrong item / Customer complaint / etc.), and the item resets to its first station with a red "REFIRE" banner. Re-printed kitchen ticket calls out the reason in giant letters so the prep chef sees what to fix. Cashier orders show a red REFIRE pill so the cashier knows the kitchen is re-running an item. • High-Volume Mode — restaurant rush toggle. Long-press the green "HV" pill on the cashier orders header (or flip in Settings → Push Bar). When on, the expediter's bump finalizes the order and texts the customer automatically — no cashier-confirm step. Per-location sticky. • Cross-location hardware auto-swap — printer pairings now scope per-location. Move an iPad to a different storefront via Settings → Device, and the receipt / kitchen / bar bindings swap automatically. Stripe Terminal also resets so the next charge discovers against the new location's terminal. • Bank Deposit Reconciliation — new card on the Banking screen explains the gap between "Provider Net Revenue" and the actual Stripe deposit. Shows: Net Revenue → minus Cash kept in drawer → Card sales credited → minus Stripe processing fees → Expected bank deposit. Closes the "my deposit doesn't match my dashboard" support loop. • Refire Frequency report — Reports → Quick Actions → Refire Frequency surfaces top items refired (with the most-recent reason inline) and refire reason distribution. Worth a glance every shift to spot recipe / pour-out problems. • Reports / Banking refund accuracy — refunds are now scoped to orders within the timeframe (a refund processed today on yesterday's order won't crater today's net), ghost refunds without a Stripe ID are skipped (no real money moved → no impact on reported numbers), tab-inflated order counts fixed, CSV Payment Breakdown reconciles to Net Sales exactly, and every screen shows an explicit "Mar 29 – Apr 28" date range so providers know exactly what window they're looking at. • Hardware quick-status sheet — More → Hardware on the cashier screen surfaces printer / card reader / internet / bluetooth status at a glance, with deep links to the full pairing flows. • Tips per-staff allocation — float allocation matches the web report exactly (no more pennies lost on $0.50 tips split among 3 staff).

• Faster Charge → Tap to Pay — pre-warm pipeline creates the Stripe PaymentIntent in parallel with the rewards prompt, plus a heartbeat-fed cloud-status cache for the reader. Cuts up to 2 seconds off the time between hitting Charge and "Tap to Pay" appearing on the customer-facing reader during high-volume rushes. • $0.50 minimum card-charge guard — sub-$0.50 card attempts are now blocked at the cashier UI with a red slide-down banner before they hit Stripe. Stripe rejects these with a confusing generic decline; we now intercept and tell the cashier exactly why, and the picker stays open so they can flip to cash without re-tapping Charge. • Receipt prompt fully respects Event Mode and the "Ask receipt on reader" toggle — three layers of defense ensure the customer-facing reader (S700 / S710 / WisePOS E) stays idle when these settings disable it. Previously a race in the receipt modal could leak the prompt onto the reader during back-to-back orders even when both flags forbade it. • Receipt-modal stuck-screen fix — a 60-second watchdog auto-cancels stuck reader prompts (customer walked away, reader silently dropped) and falls back to the iPad picker, so cashiers are never stuck waiting on the summary screen mid-rush. • One red banner at a time — Account Deactivated, Storefront Offline, and operational alerts (long-shift, low-stock) now coordinate via priority instead of stacking. Higher-severity banners pre-empt lower ones with a smooth slide-out, and the alerts queue rotates one banner at a time after dismissal so the cashier sees one clear call to action. • Reader-recovery improvements — payment-failure path now invalidates the cached cloud status so the next charge re-probes Stripe Cloud freshness instead of trusting a stale cache hit. Plus a latent bug where a failed pre-payment reader check could wedge the Charge button until app reload is fixed. • Toast color-coding — error toasts now slide down in red, success in black, info in blue. Same animation, clearer at-a-glance severity.

• Cash transactions now mirror the card flow on the iPad — when the customer is entering their phone on the smart reader, the cashier sees a centered "Customer is entering their phone number on the reader" status with a Skip button so they can bypass it if the customer declines • Receipts and reports now stamp whoever is on the clock at the order's location instead of the manager / owner who happened to PIN into the device — multi-staff terminals now correctly credit the actual server who rang up the sale • Gift card org fee handling verified end-to-end — the org fee runs once on the gift card purchase, and any gift-card-paid portion of a future order is excluded from the org-fee base so providers aren't double-billed • Bug fixes and stability improvements

• Rewards on the smart reader — customer enters their phone on the terminal, picks a free item inline, and the iPad auto-applies the reward at $0 with the line tagged as a claim so reports break it out from comped items • Multi-account picker — when a phone is linked to more than one Eventini account the cashier sees a list with name, email, points, and visits and taps the right one • Tax Exempt option on the payment screen — sales tax zeros for the transaction and the tax report breaks exempt sales out from taxable sales so reconciliation stays clean • Rewards redemption deferred until the order actually places — canceled transactions no longer drain the customer's balance, and pending redemptions in the current cart adjust the displayed balance live • Per-location settings + storefront overrides honored by the rewards lookup — punch-card visits required / points threshold no longer fall back to provider defaults when a location override is set • Cart and receipt flag reward-claim lines explicitly — iPad shows a subtle "Free" label with the original price struck through, and printed receipts mark the line as a redeemed reward • Apple Sign In now correctly routes reviewers / partner accounts to the Partner Login screen when their Apple ID isn't tied to an Eventini provider account • Bug fixes and stability improvements
