A control center for the Print Broker
Print Broker settings are reorganised into Status, History and Logs tabs, with the broker's LAN address shown when it runs locally. Queued kitchen tickets now print immediately on reconnect, and the new history panel shows every slip that went out.
June 7, 2026 · Counter App · Major release
Orders keep flowing while the phone is locked
A new background sync pushes orders to the server and drains kitchen tickets even while the device is locked, backed by a proper Android foreground service and the Foodops app icon. Also fixed a duplicate-order edge case in the background flush.
June 6, 2026 · Counter App
Multi-kitchen orders, fully covered
Cancellation slips now fan out to every kitchen on multi-kitchen orders, kitchen-ticket reprints fall back across kitchens, and bank QR codes pre-fetch for faster payment at the till.
June 4, 2026 · Kitchen Display · Major release
The Kitchen Display gets a TV mode
A wave of KDS upgrades: TV mode with layout options, an All Day view, a Completed tab, font-size control, and a responsive grid that fits any screen you mount in the kitchen.

The print broker now updates itself

Serving units for modifiers

June 2, 2026 · Counter App
Order accuracy, sharpened
Items with modifiers keep their own lines when editing an order, kitchen tickets carry the right references on every print path, delivery orders require an explicit address pick, and the customer dropdown no longer shows duplicates.
May 31, 2026 · Counter App
Clearer sync, safer updates
Orders show an unsynced badge until they reach the server, receipts show an attached badge, payment updates give instant feedback, and cache-clearing or app updates now ask before they act.
May 31, 2026 · Admin · Major release
AI assistant with voice lands in Admin
Ask the new built-in assistant about your business in plain language: it pulls financial overviews, drills into any figure to show exactly which invoices and bills make it up, and can even hold a voice conversation. Every answer carries a visible reasoning trail and an exportable audit report, so owners can verify what the assistant did and why.
May 27, 2026 · Admin · Major release
Full accounting suite in the new Admin
The Admin app now covers bookkeeping end to end: general ledger, budgets, recurring and reversible journals, bank statement import with suggested reconciliation matches, fixed assets, supplier pay runs, and approval workflows with an inbox. Every financial report can be exported, emailed on a schedule, printed, and sliced by entity, currency, or cost center.

Multiple GST rates and faster menus
Menu items can now carry more than one GST rate, with the correct tax breakdown shown in the cart and at checkout. The full menu also loads in a single request so browsing starts noticeably faster, and login codes are now routed per outlet so they arrive reliably.
May 24, 2026 · Kitchen Display
Kitchen Display System for kitchen TVs
A dedicated kitchen display now runs standalone on a TV or tablet: tickets arrive in real time, staff bump items as they are served, and new orders play a sound cue. The layout auto-fits large screens with overscan-safe padding, and a theme toggle keeps it readable in any kitchen.
May 11, 2026 · Print Broker
Printing keeps working when internet drops
A local print broker now sits between the Counter App and the printers, so kitchen tickets and receipts print even with no connection. Queued jobs replay automatically when the broker reconnects, edited orders produce proper cancellation slips for the kitchen, and each outlet can tune its own broker settings.
April 28, 2026 · Counter App
Counter keeps selling through outages
The Counter App now takes card, cheque, and transfer payments while offline (not just cash), enforces customer credit limits from cached data, and syncs everything safely once the connection returns. A new conflicts page surfaces the rare cases where two registers edited the same order, with one-click resolution.
April 23, 2026 · Counter App · Major release
New Counter App goes live
The rebuilt point-of-sale launched at counter.foodops.io with single sign-on to the rest of Foodops, a redesigned login, and reworked register session, ordering, and payment flows. It becomes the day-to-day till for outlets, replacing the older in-browser counter.
April 23, 2026 · Online Ordering
Order without creating an account
Diners can now browse the menu, build a cart, and only sign in at the very end with just a phone number and name. The cart survives the login step, and first-time guests can enter a delivery address without setting up a profile.
April 8, 2026 · Platform
AI-enhanced menu photos and SKU search
Upload any item photo and Foodops enhances it with AI, or generates an image from just the item name. At the counter, cashiers can now find items instantly by typing a SKU, including exact-match auto-add for barcode-style workflows.
March 29, 2026 · Platform
Faster setup and AI document imports
New restaurants get a simplified onboarding: business info and outlet setup in a couple of steps, finished with a guided tour of the counter. Purchase receives can now be created by uploading a supplier document, with AI reading it and matching the lines to inventory items.
March 19, 2026 · Online Ordering · Major release
Order together from one shared cart
A table can now start a group order: the host shares a QR code, everyone adds their own items from their own phone, and the cart updates live for the whole group. Items can be edited before submitting, and totals, service fees, and taxes combine into a single order at checkout.
March 19, 2026 · Delivery
Waiter mode and tablet support in mobile app
The driver app grew into a full floor-staff app: waiters can take orders at the table, pick variants and modifiers, create customers, collect payments, and view invoices. The interface was reworked for tablets, with cached menus for speed and refreshed table and order screens.
March 16, 2026 · Online Ordering
Redesigned menus that update live
The ordering app gained grid and list menu views, a redesigned login page, sharper product images, and clearer variant selection with proper minimum-selection checks. Menu changes made in the back office now appear on diners' phones instantly, with no refresh needed.
March 11, 2026 · Online Ordering
Text updates at every order step
Customers now get an SMS when their order is received, accepted, ready, out for delivery, delivered, or rejected, always naming the restaurant. Diners can also record allergies and special instructions per item, and those notes follow the order into the kitchen.
February 26, 2026 · Kitchen Display
All-day view and per-item kitchen tickets
The kitchen screen gained an all-day view that totals every item still to cook across open orders. Tickets can now print per item, cancelled items appear crossed out, and several duplicate-ticket and ticket-closing bugs were fixed.
February 22, 2026 · Platform
Split bills and a redesigned order screen
Dine-in bills can now be split into parts, with each part paid and invoiced separately. It shipped alongside a modernised order-taking and payment screen: faster item and customer loading, cleaner payment buttons, smarter receipt printing, and zoom-and-pan table layouts.
February 4, 2026 · Online Ordering
Dark mode and diner satisfaction surveys
The ordering app now supports light and dark themes, switchable from the profile menu. After ordering, diners get a short satisfaction survey tied to their order, giving outlets a running read on how service feels.
January 29, 2026 · Platform
Import your whole menu from a spreadsheet
A new step-by-step import wizard brings in menu items, recipes, customers, and suppliers from spreadsheets, with previews, validation, and progress tracking. Bulk edits round-trip through Excel with changed cells highlighted, and product photos moved to a fast image CDN.
January 27, 2026 · Delivery
Drivers get push notifications
Delivery riders now receive phone push notifications the moment an order is assigned or marked ready, with no need to keep the app open. Duplicate alerts were eliminated with a cooldown, and drivers can attach multiple invoice photos to an order.
January 11, 2026 · Platform
Automatic recipe costs and supplier pricing
Item costs now calculate automatically from recipe ingredients, cascading through nested recipes when an ingredient price changes. Suppliers can be linked to specific items with their own purchase units, lead times, and a per-item price history.
January 9, 2026 · Platform
Sell recurring meal subscription plans
Restaurants can now sell meal plans: customers subscribe once, and the kitchen automatically receives each day's meals with per-meal notes. The feature was refined steadily over the following weeks based on live restaurant use.
December 31, 2025 · Platform
Duplicate invoices stopped at the source
A series of fixes made billing trustworthy: double-clicks on payment can no longer create duplicate invoices, the register session view surfaces any existing duplicates for one-click voiding, and a register cannot close until every invoice and payment is properly posted to the books.
December 30, 2025 · Delivery
Rider assignment and shift cash handovers
Dispatchers can now assign each delivery order to a rider and filter the queue by status. Riders can take part-cash, part-transfer payments, upload invoice slips against the order, and hand over collected cash in partial batches at the end of a shift.
December 28, 2025 · Online Ordering
Add to an order already placed
Diners can now add items to an order that is already in the kitchen, with a review step before confirming. Dine-in guests pick their table from a floor-aware selector, pickup and delivery times can be scheduled, and outlets can accept dine-in orders before payment is made.
December 25, 2025 · Platform
Smarter purchasing and stock control
Purchasing got a major upgrade: unit conversions between buying and stock units, price-variance alerts and damage tracking when receiving goods, preferred suppliers, price trends on shopping lists, and purchase orders auto-grouped by supplier. Kitchens now see low-stock alerts, and stock deducts by recipe as orders are prepared.
