NewThe new till
The till has been redesigned from the ground up. Categories sit in a bar with their own colour and icon, your favourites are at the top, and the magnifier lets you search for any item directly. Cash, card, discount, deposit and "Split bill" are all handled in one checkout sheet. Sheets close when you swipe them down. The menu (three lines at the top) lets you choose light, dark or system for this device. In test mode a slim strip below the header reminds you that orders will be deleted on activation.
NewTables and floor plan
Under "Tables" you create areas such as a hall or terrace and the tables in them, one by one or as a whole series (for example A1 to A20). In the floor plan editor you drag tables into place, draw walls as lines, adjust the room shape and mark zones such as kitchen, bar/counter or blocked areas. If a table lies outside the room or in a blocked zone, the editor tells you. In the event you choose whether to work with fixed tables or free table numbers.
NewTable service at the till
With table service the till starts with "Open table": by number, from a list or right on the floor plan. You choose per device which view a till shows. The "Open tables" bar shows where something is still open and where a guest is waiting or food is ready to serve; "Served" ticks it off. Tapping the table lets you switch tables, and the cart you started is parked or taken along. At checkout you settle all open orders of the table in one step. All tills stay in sync live.
NewSwitch on integrations for your organization
Under "Integrations" you now find a catalog of all connections, each with a description and pictures. Admins switch an integration on or off for the organization and set it up on its own page. Card payment with SumUp only appears at the till once the integration is switched on. Stored credentials are kept when you switch it off.
NewProduct icons and coloured categories
For every product you can choose from a collection of till icons, such as beer, fries or sausage, instead of uploading a photo. Categories get an icon and a colour; you see both at the till in the category bar and on products without their own picture.
NewStation display shows what is ready
When you tap "Ready" on the station display, the item is ticked off immediately; once an order is complete, its card turns green. In the device settings, "Clear completed" sets after how many seconds finished orders disappear, or whether they stay collected at the end. All cards share the same layout and show table, pickup, to-go or counter.
NewCreate members directly
If you run OpenEOS yourself, you often have no mail server for invitations. Under "Members" → "Add member" there is now a "Create account directly" tab: name, email and a starting password that you pass on to the new member. If the person already has an account, you add them without a password.
ImprovedOrder and payment in one step
When you check out immediately, order and payment are now booked together. If the payment is cancelled or the card is declined, no order is created, and the kitchen gets nothing that has not been paid. "Send" without payment is only offered when the event works with open tabs.
ImprovedClearer device setup
A device's settings are now grouped into operation, payment, security, display and appearance, and whatever depends on a choice sits right below it: for a till with tables the default area and table selection, for a customer display its till, for a station display its station. The "Linked to" tile shows at once what a device belongs to. The pairing code appears as six digits in one piece, and you may paste it with spaces when entering it.
ImprovedFully in English, informal in German
If you choose English, everything really is in English now, including navigation, dates and numbers. In German, OpenEOS addresses you informally everywhere: in the interface, in emails and on the receipt. Error messages now tell you in your language what exactly went wrong instead of just saying "error".
ImprovedA fresher look
Headlines use a new, bolder typeface, and all icons come from one consistent set. Every page follows the same pattern: title and description at the top, actions such as "Create shift plan" or "Create stocktake" on the list they belong to. Detail pages for devices, shift plans, users and integrations have labelled buttons instead of bare symbols. Everything displays cleanly on phones and in dark mode.
ImprovedSupport requests and contact forms stay entirely within OpenEOS
What you write in the support chat or through the contact forms on the website is now handled solely within OpenEOS. Messages are no longer forwarded to a messenger service; the team is notified by email. Nothing changes in how you use it.
ImprovedError reports contain less data
When an error occurs, OpenEOS sends a report so we can fix it. These reports now contain only what is needed to find the fault; personal details and screen recordings are no longer included.
FixedTest orders are deleted on activation
The till says so: orders from test mode are deleted on activation. Until now they stayed anyway and counted in reports, stock and pickup numbers. Now they really disappear on activation, and the event starts with a clean slate.
FixedThe right day around midnight
Shortly after midnight the same order number could be issued twice, and orders between midnight and 2 a.m. still counted towards the previous day in the dashboard and reports. The shift generator created shifts one day early. All three now follow the calendar day of your organization, and English dates appear in the usual format.
FixedSmaller fixes
Recent activity on the dashboard showed "0 items" for every order – it now shows the right number. To-go orders appear on the station display as to-go instead of counter. When members are removed or changed, an organization always keeps at least one admin, and everyone can only grant permissions they have themselves. Menus, dialogs and cards are no longer cut off or hard to read on phones and in dark mode, and the shop shows required fields, opening hours and the LIVE badge correctly.
