Product updates and new features, released regularly.
October 2026
Redesigned Settings — Settings now has a left menu on desktop and a list on phones, grouped into Business, Service, Kitchen, Guests and Hardware, with a search box that finds individual settings by name
Settings Save Bar — every settings page now saves through the Shopify Save/Discard bar and warns you before you leave with unsaved changes; lists you edit one item at a time (devices, courses, shifts, rules, add-ons, events) still save straight away
Shared Brand & Per-Location Branding — set your name, color, logo and images once under Settings → General, or give any location its own brand; it's used on the booking, manage-reservation and QR ordering pages and in reservation emails
Per-Location Contact Details — a location's address, contact email and phone are now set for each location under Settings → Locations
Operating Hours in General — your weekly operating hours are now visible under Settings → General, and online booking uses them at any location with no booking shifts
Service Areas in Settings — service areas now live at Settings → Service areas, and the old Service Areas and Reservation Settings links redirect to their new homes
Guest Message Wording & Switches — confirmation email wording now lives in the Guest messages editor (wording you already saved carries over automatically), and guest-message notifications are simple on/off switches
Settings Refinements — courses now reorder by drag and drop, and the Kitchen Display and Host Display Quick Actions on the home page open Settings → Devices at the right section
Venue-Style Booking Page — choose Classic (the default, unchanged) or Venue for each location's booking page, with a photo slideshow of up to 12 photos, About text, and a Google map card that needs the location's address
Venue Page Date & Time Picker — a Guests/Date/Time picker (Time shows slots within two hours of the time you pick), a strip of upcoming days with a month calendar, fully booked days greyed out up to 90 days ahead, and a page that opens on the next day with times when today is closed or full
Event Pages — every ticketed event now has its own page at /book/<venue>/events/<name> with photos, What's included and Good to know sections, a custom web address and an optional spot in the venue page's Upcoming events list; old event links still work
Full-Page Event Editor — events are now edited on a full page with sections for Event details, Photos (up to 12, the first is the cover and link preview), Event page content, Tickets & payment, and Publishing & link; new events stay link-only until you choose to list them on the venue page
Events List — a cleaner Events list with a date tile, Live/Draft/Link-only badges, tickets sold (with a progress bar when sales are capped), upcoming and past events listed separately, and an Edit button plus a "…" menu for Guest list, Publish/Unpublish, Copy booking link, Open event page and Delete; events with bookings can't be deleted, so you unpublish them instead
Order Ready Alert in Table Service — when the Kitchen Display marks a ticket Ready, a green "Order Ready" badge shows on that table's row and a banner on the table's screen until the kitchen marks it Complete; both screens refresh every 20 seconds, and it works with multiple checks per table and course menus
Quick Serve Menu Picker — with more than one active menu, Add Items now shows the menu list first, then only that menu's categories with a Back to Menus button; one active menu still goes straight to categories
Move Items on Any Check — in Table Service, Move Items now appears on any check that has items, so a single check can be split by moving items to a new check
Course Menus Follow Your Firing Setting — course menus chosen from the course picker in Table Service now follow your Preset Course Menu Firing setting instead of always asking Send All or Course Manually
Matching Phone Add Item Layout — the Add Item screen on phones now looks the same in Quick Serve and Table Service
Six Languages — the venue booking page, event pages and event editor, the Order Ready alert and the Quick Serve menu picker are available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch
New Pricing Plans — four plans priced by size: Counter ($29/month), Table Service ($49), Venue ($79) and Hospitality ($149), each with its own allowance of locations, service areas, kitchen displays, printers and orders per month; tables, staff and menu items are unlimited on every plan, and larger operations (more than 4 locations) can contact us
Plan Limits & Order Warnings — locations, service areas, kitchen displays and printers stop at your plan's allowance, with a banner when you reach it; the monthly order allowance is a soft limit, so you're warned as you approach and pass it but orders are never blocked
Reservations Add-On — Reservations is now an optional add-on at $20 per location per month, switched on from the Billing page and charged only for locations with online booking on
Billing Page Usage — the Billing page now shows your plan and your usage against each limit; existing customers keep their current plan, price and features, including free Reservations, and shops on a free trial have full access during the trial
Market Languages — French, Canadian French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch join English and German across the Flip POS admin, the Table Service and Quick Serve POS apps, printed tickets and texts, and guest pages
Table Service Table Detail Refresh — the table screen now shows the customer's name as a large heading with their tags beside it and a "View customer notes" link, with the timer in bold and the service details moved up when no customer is attached
Host Display Guest Badges — the host stand can now show guest badges such as VIP and Lapsed, plus Shopify customer tags, next to guests in check-ins, reservations and tables
No Active Menu Message — when no menu is active, Quick Serve and Table Service now explain what's wrong on the Add Items screen and offer a Refresh Menu button instead of showing a blank screen
September 2026
Move Multiple Items Between Checks — in Table Service, multi-select items across a table's checks and move them as a batch to one destination check, or a newly created check, in a single action
Add a Note When Adding an Item — in Table Service, attach a note directly on the Add Item screen while adding a new item, instead of adding it afterward
Quick Serve Order Modes — switch between Quick Order, Open Orders, and QR Orders from a single mode selector; hold a fired order as an open tab with "Send to Kitchen" and resume it later from Open Orders
Layout Designer: Non-Table Objects — add freely resizable walls, host stands, planters, and other floor-plan shapes to a Service Area's layout, and set a custom background color on any table or object
Quick Serve Item Notes — add a note directly on the item screen while adding an item, matching Table Service
Quick Serve Daily Order Numbers — order numbers now reset to 1 each day instead of counting up indefinitely, and are assigned as soon as an order is started
Quick Serve Order History Fixes — fixed duplicate "ghost" draft orders appearing on screen load; corrected the order status badge to read "Paid" instead of the raw status code; "Load Order" now opens the same order detail screen used by Open Orders instead of overwriting the order in progress
Menu Management Redesign — restyled the menu list and category/product pages, and consolidated per-item actions (rename, category, variants, course bundle) into a single Edit Item panel; the Manage Variants option is now hidden for single-variant products
Menu Category Delete Safety — deleting a category that still has items or subcategories is now blocked until they're moved or removed, instead of silently orphaning them; menu items with order history are archived rather than deleted so past orders and reports stay intact
Kitchen Ticket Header Customization — toggle, resize, and drag-reorder every kitchen ticket header field (Table, Time, Covers, Customer, Area, Server), optionally repeat the table number at the bottom of the ticket, and set a configurable top margin for ticket holders that clip the header
SMS Notifications Restored — text notifications are back: reservation confirmation and reminder texts, and a Quick Serve "order ready" text to the customer's phone (including manually-entered walk-in customers)
Booking Shift Restrictions — restrict an online booking shift to specific service areas, and restrict an upgrade to specific shifts; the public booking page now only offers eligible seating areas and upgrades for the selected time, and skips the seating picker entirely when only one area qualifies
Host App Floor Tile Check Totals — an active table's tile on the Host App floor plan now shows guest count and running check total at a glance
Settings Page Usability — expanded Settings sections now stay open across navigation instead of resetting, and printer category selection is now a pill-style multi-select
Ticketed Events — create one-off ticketed events (a club party, a winemaker dinner) with their own booking link, mixed ticket tiers, and optional or required payment before a booking confirms
Reservation Deposits & Add-Ons: Pay to Confirm — require payment before a deposit or paid add-on reservation confirms, with an automatic reminder email and release for unpaid holds; a guest's paid deposit or add-on now carries onto their check automatically once they're seated
Host App Upcoming Reservations — browse every upcoming reservation across all dates, or jump straight to a date, from a new "All Reservations" view in the Reservations tab
Reservation Auto-Assign Respects Seating Area — auto-assigning a table for a reservation now only looks outside the guest's (or staff's) chosen seating area when no table is free there
Kitchen Display: Hide Stale Unstarted Tickets — orders that sit completely untouched in the kitchen for more than 8 hours without a single item started are now automatically hidden from the Kitchen Display
Table Service: Manually-Entered Customers Now Sync to Shopify — a customer typed directly on the POS (not searched from Shopify) is now matched or created as a real Shopify customer, so they're properly linked at Shopify POS checkout
August 2026
Carry Out / Take Out Designation — mark an individual check or an entire table as Carry Out in Table Service, or an order as Carry Out in Quick Serve; prints "*** CARRY OUT ***" on kitchen tickets and flags the ticket on the Kitchen Display
Carry Out & Open Tab Service Areas — configure a Service Area with no floor plan for takeout counters or bar/lounge tabs; staff start a new numbered order under a customer name instead of tapping a table, with an option to auto-mark every order Carry Out
Kitchen Ticket Formatting Fix — fixed course headers and the notes footer on printed kitchen tickets sometimes inheriting the wrong text size from a previous item
Change Server — reassign an occupied table to a different server from Table Actions, with the change recorded on the order's timeline
Tip Write-In Lines — print blank Tip and Total write-in lines on customer checks so guests can hand-write a tip, then key it in as its own tax-exempt line before sending the check to the Shopify POS cart
Booking Page Branding & Customization — hide your restaurant name on the public booking page, offer free add-on experiences guests aren't charged for, and customize the "Add an experience" section text and confirmation email greeting
Duplicate Reservation Guard — guests booking or modifying a reservation online can no longer book two reservations on the same day using the same email or phone number
Printer & Host Display Card Updates — printer and host display connection URLs now show inline on their cards with a one-tap copy button
Emailed Check Fix — fixed emailed checks double-listing (and double-summing) items that are part of a course-bundle
July 2026
Preset Course Menus via Shopify Bundles — mark a Shopify Bundle as a course menu in Menu Management so servers can fire its components as separate courses in Table Service, all at once or one at a time, with a Settings option for how courses fire
