The ultimate hospo solution

February’s updates are all about increasing flexibility and giving you more control over back-of-house and front-of-house operations. Read on!

Seamlessly Sync Table Transfers & Merges

Managing table assignments can create operational friction when reservations need to be moved or merged manually. Without system synchronisation, discrepancies arise between platforms, and large group handling becomes more complex.

With seamless table sync between Nomni POS and Tyro Connect, table transfers and merges update automatically across both systems.

Key Benefits

  • Table Transfer: Move a reservation from one table to another within Nomni POS, with the update reflected instantly in Tyro Connect.

  • Table Merge: Combine multiple tables for a single booking, ensuring Tyro Connect reflects the merged configuration.

  • Automated API Communication: Nomni POS uses the Tyro Connect API to transmit real-time updates for table changes.

Currently available in Australia only.

Set Specific Time Slots For Individual Menu Categories

When menu categories remain visible outside their intended service window, customers may order unavailable or complex items. This can lead to cancellations, kitchen bottlenecks and slower service during peak periods.

Category Time Settings allow you to define when specific menu categories are visible. By aligning availability with your service schedule, customers only see items that can be fulfilled at that time.

How to Enable Category Time Settings

  • Navigate to Nomni POS Backend → Delivery Integration → Delivery Menu.

  • Select GrabFood as the platform.

  • Open the relevant Menu Category to access the Category Detail view.

  • Locate the Menu Category Time Settings section.

  • Set the Start Time and End Time for that category.

  • Toggle Category Time Settings on or off as required.

  • Save the configuration. Updates will apply automatically to GrabFood.

Set A Maximum Limit for Ordering Specific Items

You can now configure maximum order limits for specific items per dining session. When activated, customers cannot reorder an item once they have reached the predefined quantity limit within that session.

This feature supports:

  • Creating controlled access to limited or exclusive menu items.

  • Testing small-batch or seasonal products without overselling.

  • Ensuring fair allocation of high-demand items across guests.

  • Improving inventory control and reducing waste on premium or limited-stock ingredients.

More Pricing Flexibility with 15 Product & Variant Pricing Levels

Managing complex pricing structures becomes restrictive when limited to a small number of pricing levels. High-volume venues often require additional flexibility to support tiered pricing, delivery surcharges and order-ahead adjustments.

The platform now supports 15 product pricing levels and 15 variant pricing levels. This provides greater control over pricing strategies without relying on manual workarounds.

The expanded structure enables scalable pricing adjustments while maintaining operational consistency across menus and channels.

Even More Price Levels for the Catering Store Menus

Catering businesses often need multiple pricing tiers to accommodate different order sizes, customer types, or locations. With only 10 price levels, businesses faced limitations in structuring their pricing effectively.

This update expands PriceLevel support from 10 to 15 in the Catering Store menu, providing more flexible pricing structures. It integrates seamlessly with the pricing database and API, ensuring accurate pricing without disrupting existing levels.

Tap to Mark An Item As Completed

The “Complete One Quantity with Single Tap” setting introduces a controlled way to mark items as completed on Nomni KDS.

With this enhancement, teams can choose from multiple completion methods depending on speed and order volume:

  • Single Tap on Done Button: Marks one quantity of the selected item as completed per tap.

  • Quick Tap Multiple Times: Displays a quantity indicator above the Done button and processes the total quantity after a short delay.

  • Long-press on Done Button: Opens a numeric input pad to complete larger quantities in bulk.

These options provide flexibility during peak service while maintaining accuracy across kitchen workflows.

Additional enhancements:

Printing templates now support split or grouped item formats using new template tags:

  • [item_list(mode:split)] – Prints items individually.

  • [item_list(mode:consolidate)] – Prints items as a consolidated list.

This allows venues to align printing formats with kitchen workflows and service requirements.

KDS Item Completion Enhancement Benefits

  • Faster Order Processing: Reduces unnecessary steps, enabling kitchen teams to complete tickets more efficiently.

  • Minimised Errors: Helps prevent accidental over-completion by ensuring only the intended quantity is marked as done.

  • Greater Flexibility: Staff can select the most appropriate method, whether single tap, quick tap or manual quantity input, depending on service intensity and order volume.

Detailed Cash-In & Cash-Out Breakdown in POS Sales Summary

Limited visibility into Cash-In and Cash-Out transactions often leads to manual tracking and potential reconciliation errors.

This update introduces a detailed breakdown of Cash-In and Cash-Out transactions in the Nomnni POS sales summary report. A new [cash_in_out_records] printing tag ensures accurate reporting, making financial reconciliation easier and more transparent.

Automatic IP Conflict Detection to Prevent POS Disruptions

Unstable network connections can disrupt POS operations, often caused by undetected IP conflicts between connected devices. Manually identifying these conflicts takes time and can lead to downtime.  

With IP Conflict Detection in Master POS, the system automatically scans for conflicts and alerts users in real time. A simple "Resolve" button lets you fix the issue instantly, ensuring a stable and uninterrupted POS experience.

Clearer Merchant Payout Descriptions on Nomni Pay

Previously, we used $balanceAccountId as payout descriptions, an identifier that lacked clarity for merchants, making it difficult to track payouts.

We have replaced it with $accountHolderDescription, providing more meaningful and easily identifiable transaction details. This change aligns with Nomni Pay’s best practices, ensuring clearer payout statements and a better merchant experience.

What’s Next?

We’re always looking for ways to help you serve your customers better. Stay tuned for even more exciting updates every month!
