      <description>Phones installed from Google Play update there. Order numbers on the phone now read as plain digits, like 2001 instead of T2-001, on a takeaway's card in Running, in the Today tab, on the bill and on kitchen tickets the phone prints. Each phone keeps its own block of numbers, so two devices never give the same number.</description>

      <description>Order numbers on bills, kitchen tickets, the kitchen screen and every register screen now read as plain digits, like 1042 instead of T1-042. Each Desktop App keeps its own block of numbers, so two devices never give the same number, and Orders search finds a bill by 1042, #1042 or the old T1-042. Existing installs from 0.1.9 onward use the usual Restart to update notice.</description>

      <description>The order number on the bill, the kitchen ticket and every screen is now plain digits, so it no longer looks like a table name. Each Desktop App and phone keeps its own block, 1001 and up on the first, 2001 and up on the second, so two devices never give the same number, and it stays with the order when guests change tables. The owner dashboard finds a bill by either form. Desktop App 0.1.34 prints it on bills and kitchen tickets; phones get it with Captain app 0.2.24.</description>

      <category>Desktop App</category>
      <description>In Desktop App 0.1.33, Cash box lists the three steps for a first shift, offers one-tap reasons such as Vegetables, and says what Cash in or Paid out will do before you press it. With no shift open, Settle shows one small Start cash shift link instead of a box and never blocks the payment; starting the shift there takes you straight back to that bill. A short or over count says what to check next.</description>

      <category>Desktop App, Captain app</category>
      <description>In Desktop App 0.1.33, cash movements need a reason, slips show who recorded them, the closing count shows the opening cash, net cash sales and money added or taken out, and the closing action stays within reach on shorter screens. On the phone, hiding expected cash until closing comes with the next Captain app update.</description>

      <description>See how the week or the month went from one glance at your phone: net sales and how it moved, bills, average bill, discounts and expenses. The Weekly report comes on your week start day at 9 am store time, and the Monthly report on the 1st at 10 am, with GST for your CA when the month collected any, plus Estimated profit once that month has expenses entered. A week or month with no sales sends nothing, and each email has its own switch.</description>

      <category>Desktop App</category>
      <description>Installed apps pick this update up on their own. It brings the Day close question for old unpaid checks: did the money come in? Before you answer, it shows what each answer does to Sales, the payment totals and the cash box. Web POS has the same change.</description>

      <description>Close out the day now lists the old unpaid checks with a tick box each and asks one question: did the money come in? Pick Yes, add the payment to record it as Cash, UPI or Card and move the sale into today (no bill prints, the drawer stays shut), Yes, but skip the details to leave the check as Paid · Auto closed with no report changed, or No, the guest did not pay to write the food off with a typed reason and a manager's PIN. Before anything is saved, a panel says what the answer does to Sales, the payment totals and the cash box.</description>

      <category>Desktop App</category>

      <description>Pick a reason on Cancel order and the Desktop App now shows the table, the bill amount and that reason, then asks once more, the same as the phone. Keep order takes you back to choose again, and a double click stops at the question. Still no manager PIN.</description>

      <category>Desktop App, Kitchen screen</category>
      <description>Installed apps pick this update up on their own. It brings Cancel order with a reason beside Settle, Orders showing who cancelled and why, no kitchen ticket for a cancelled table, the tick box at the start of each dish on the Kitchen screen, and a clear screen instead of a startup error when saved data will not open. Web POS has the same changes.</description>

      <category>Desktop App</category>
      <description>If a phone or another till cancels the check open on your screen, the Desktop App lets go of it and tells you, with the reason. The next dish starts a new order. Before, the dish was refused with &quot;Order is closed (void)&quot;. If you are already on Settle, you can still take the whole bill.</description>

      <category>Desktop App</category>
      <description>Cancel order sits beside Settle at the bottom of the order panel, a smaller key with a red outline. Pick a reason or write your own; that click is the confirmation, with no manager PIN, and the Orders list shows the cancelled bill with the reason and who cancelled. If the kitchen already made the food the dialog says so first. Once any money is recorded on the bill the key is greyed out: settle the balance or refund instead. The same key is on an empty check's detail in Orders.</description>

      <category>Desktop App</category>
      <description>When the Desktop App cannot open its saved data, it now says why instead of showing a startup error: either the computer's keychain is holding the key back (sign in to the computer, then press Try again) or the key no longer opens the data. In that second case, Start fresh moves the old data aside on the computer without deleting it and lets you connect again; sales that never uploaded stay in that old data, so call support first if the till sold offline.</description>

It brings Reprint KOT on a round that has gone to the kitchen, discounts that come off the subtotal before GST, the same check staying open when you remove its last item, and kitchen counts that keep look-alike dishes apart.</description>

      <description>In Desktop App 0.1.20 and Captain 0.2.14, once a round has gone to the kitchen the Fire KOT key (Send KOT on the phone) reads Reprint KOT. One tap prints that round again on the printer connected to that device, with REPRINT under the KOT number so the kitchen knows it is a copy. No PIN and no extra screen; the key turns back into Fire KOT as soon as you add a dish. A phone without its own printer says so and leaves the reprint to the counter.</description>

      <description>Once in a while a Mac could hang during the restart after an update, and macOS then said EasyKOT &quot;is not open anymore&quot; until the Mac was restarted. The register now shuts down cleanly before it opens again. A Mac already stuck needs one restart. The restart that installs this version still runs the old shutdown, so if you then see two EasyKOT icons in the Dock, keep using the one that opened and restart the Mac after closing time.</description>

      <description>Many 80mm printers fit 48 characters on a line, and a bill laid out at 42 on one of them leaves a blank strip down the right side. Pick 80mm wide under Paper size to use the whole roll. 80mm at 42 characters stays the usual choice, because a printer that only fits 42 wraps every money line at 48, and the test slip's row of digits shows which one yours is.</description>

      <description>Five wrong manager PINs on a phone now cost time, climbing to a minute, whether they were typed on the sign-in pad or the approval sheet. Check printer stops claiming a Bluetooth printer accepted a connection when nothing ever knocked, a test print whose link drops no longer marks a working printer offline, and a dish taken off stock while a portion sheet is open can no longer be rung up. A waiter who glances at a notification and comes straight back is still connected.</description>

      <description>A dish quick-added on a GST store inherits the store's rate instead of billing ₹0 tax, removing the sample menu keeps the dishes you imported under the same names, and deleting a category drops its dishes to Uncategorised instead of losing them. Paying a daily-wage cook while taking back an advance records the full wage in the labour report, an amount typed as &quot;30,000&quot; saves as ₹30,000, and deleting an expense row needs a second press. Billing says Payment received only once the payment is confirmed.</description>

      <description>A dish whose portions are all out of stock is refused by name instead of selling at the seed price, two people hitting Fire on the same table no longer send the first round to the pass twice, and two tills opened together cannot collide on KOT numbers. A table settled on a captain phone now prints a bill carrying a real invoice number in the till's own series, with its issue date. A check voided on a phone while the till takes cash for it stays settled, and the day's takings keep the money.</description>

A second, stronger read re-judges only the rows the first one disputed, so correct prices stop being flagged, and a sheet with a veg column now marks the non-veg dishes too.

Bills discounted before this build keep the tax they were issued with, and a discount can no longer take a part-paid check below what was already paid.</description>

      <description>Net sales before GST, order count and average bill for yesterday sit above today's cards, and the cards now name the day they mean. A brand new store's drill-downs land on the reports with a card telling you to start your first period, instead of a bookkeeping form and nothing else.</description>

      <description>Every dish now has a Cost to make box, in rupees and optional. The menu report and the profit and loss page have always read that number and nothing could set it; you can set it now, and the menu quadrant's popularity line is drawn where your own split actually falls.</description>

A till that is online never sees this, because the register syncs on its own. When a store's subscription lapses the banner says cloud sync is paused, offline sales carry on and nothing is wiped.</description>

The test slip prints a row of digits exactly as wide as the size you chose, so a wrong answer wraps onto a second line and the slip names the setting to change.

      <description>Settle from the captain or the register and the check's tickets clear off every kitchen screen within seconds, so the Kitchen count stops climbing with rounds nobody is cooking. It applies to dine-in and parcel alike. A counter shop where people pay before the food is cooked turns off Clear kitchen tickets on settle under Settings → Register, and every ticket then waits for the chef's bump.</description>

      <description>A third view on the kitchen screen, Prep + tickets, docks a production lane beside the tickets: 3 · Veg Fried Rice · T2 · T5 · T7, count first and then where each plate goes. Press a row and every ticket it feeds lights up on the rail. Only identical prep merges, a line with a cook's note is split out on its own with the note shouted, and each batch wears its oldest table's clock so batching can never hide a late table.</description>

It is the register itself, so your demo order survives a refresh and even airplane mode, and the screens that need hardware say so in plain words rather than looking broken. It needs a laptop sized screen; a phone gets a WhatsApp demo card instead.</description>

      <description>The captain app prints KOTs and GST bills straight to the store's thermal printer over Bluetooth or the shop Wi-Fi, so a service can run with the laptop switched off.

      <description>A waiter in the corner the Wi-Fi never reached, or on mobile data, still gets the round to the kitchen, and a chef on cellular data sees the board and can clear a ticket from it. The phone picks the road itself: the register's Wi-Fi first, the internet second, the phone's own storage if there is neither. A round travelling over the internet no longer carries the red warning that the kitchen never got it, and the red is kept for a phone where rounds really are piling up.</description>

      <description>Refunding a settled bill used to print a slip and silently drop the entry: the customer had the cash and your books never knew.

The board itself is now a rail of fixed-width tickets that fill top to bottom then grow to the right, so the oldest is always top left and a rush scrolls sideways.</description>

      <description>The register window, the captain app, the dashboard, the receipt and KOT headers, the GST tax invoice and the payment screen all read EasyKOT. Tax invoice numbers change prefix from EP/2627/000042 to EK/2627/000042.

      <description>Every new store gets three calendar months with no card. After that you pay from the dashboard by UPI AutoPay or a card mandate, and every charge produces a GST tax invoice with CGST and SGST split out, emailed and downloadable. If a payment lapses there are 30 days of grace with full access: the register dims from day 20 and goes dark on day 30 with a Renew button on it.</description>

      <description>Many Indian cards cannot authorise a recurring charge under RBI rules, so Billing opens on Pay once: one period, no mandate, any UPI, card, netbanking or wallet, landing on the same GST invoice and the same access. Pay again and it stacks onto the end. The page prints the plan you are about to buy as a receipt, with the GST, the dates the period covers and what it works out to per day, and a Subscribe button that cannot work now says why beside it.</description>

The printed bill carries your GSTIN, address, state code, the invoice date and the CGST and SGST split, which you fill in once under Invoice identity. A reprint says DUPLICATE, keeps the same number and records who asked for it.</description>

      <title>Half and Full are portions of one dish, not two dishes on the menu</title>

      <description>A dish carries its portions with their own prices, and the portion rides the ticket line and the KOT as its own label beside the name, so the kitchen cannot cook the wrong size. Tapping a portion key on a dish that needs a spice level or an add-on now opens the chooser with that portion already picked, and a scanned or quick-added portioned dish can no longer ring at the base price with no portion at all.</description>

      <description>Type what the customer handed over and the register decides what happened: exact settles the check, short asks whether the gap is a discount or a loss, over shows the change due, and a part payment leaves the check open with the customer's name and phone recorded against it. The balance follows from the ledger, so nothing is typed twice.</description>

      <description>A searchable list with a switch per dish lets a cashier stock out a sold-out item without opening the dashboard, and it works with the internet down. The tile stays visible and disabled rather than vanishing, because what is on the menu and what you can sell tonight are different questions.</description>

      <description>A table now has a position, a size and a shape, so Settings has a plan you drag your dining room onto, floor by floor. The Floor tab draws that plan instead of a grid of orders, and tapping a free table seats a party on it.</description>

      <description>The captain app signs a waiter in on their own PIN, shows the floor and the menu, and puts a round on the kitchen printer or the kitchen screen over the shop Wi-Fi. A full order taken with the Wi-Fi off reconciles when the phone rejoins, with nothing lost, and a waiter and a cashier working the same table add up instead of overwriting each other. Every order event now names the person who made it.</description>

      <category>Owner dashboard</category>
      <description>The dashboard opens on net sales, orders, average check, food cost, labour, prime cost and operating profit, each against the last period and a target you set. Under it sit a full profit and loss, a dish by dish contribution report that sorts the stars from the slow movers, and expenses by category and vendor. The trading day starts when you say it does, so a 1am order counts to the night before.</description>

      <description>One register leads on the store's network and the others join it, so an order rung on one is on the other in near real time with the internet off, and both converge on the same numbers when it returns. Staff sign in on a PIN checked against the till's own database, so sign-in works with the cable out, and a chef's PIN opens the kitchen screen and nothing else.</description>

      <description>A register gets its own credential from a single-use setup code minted in the dashboard, and that credential can be revoked from there without touching the other tills. The till's own database is encrypted on the machine, so a copied file reads as noise rather than as your sales.</description>

      <category>Desktop App</category>
      <description>The register gains a search bar over the local menu, a row of the dishes you ring most, and a Floor tab listing every open check with its table, total and how long it has been running. A takeaway needs no table. Alerts for a KOT sitting too long or a table dwelling too long can be switched on or off per store.</description>

      <description>A receipt prints with items, modifiers, the CGST and SGST split and the total, on 80mm and 58mm paper, and the cash drawer kicks on a cash settle. Detect printers sweeps the network, USB and the serial ports so one tap fills in the host, port or path, a failed print queues and retries instead of losing the sale, and a barcode scanner adds a scanned dish to the cart. Any tablet on the shop network can open the kitchen board from the register, see a round land in under a second and bump it when the food goes out.</description>

      <category>Desktop App</category>
      <description>The categories, the menu grid and the cart are three panels you drag to the widths that suit your screen, and the app remembers them. A one-tap toggle switches light and dark, following the machine's own setting to begin with. Voiding a line records the void instead of erasing the line, so the history of the check stays readable.</description>

      <description>Browse the menu, add dishes with their modifiers, assign a table, send the round to the kitchen, settle by cash and see the receipt, with the network cable out the whole time. The check lives in the till's own database and syncs to the server when it reconnects.</description>
