We understand that connecting devices like printers to your POS can be a challenge, especially with complex networks. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the new manual device adding feature!
Now, if the device search doesn’t pick up your printer, you can easily enter the IP or MAC address directly at your POS — no need for network reconfiguration. Just a quick manual input, and you’re all set!
We’re excited to announce our new WordPress integration! It syncs your menu from Poster with your website on WordPress and automatically transfers orders placed on the website directly to your POS register.
Start your 7-day free trial today! After that, it’s just $15/month.
We've shipped a major update for the Poster POS app across all operating systems! Along with improved stability, our development team has fixed several hardware-related issues and introduced new quality-of-life features. Here's a summary of all the changes:
☝️ These changes are available only in the latest versions of the POS app.
In previous versions, navigating to ☰ Functions → Devices would trigger an automatic search for devices, causing removed devices to reappear. With the latest update, if there is at least one device in the list, you must now click ↻ Refresh to initiate a search. If the list is empty, the search will still begin automatically.
We have addressed the issue where deleting a device in the mobile app resulted in a blank white screen. The app will now properly return to the device list after a device is removed.
Previously, the logo might not print on receipts when using Quick print. This issue has been resolved. Additionally, by selecting the printer and clicking ⚙️, you will find a new Update Logo button that sends the logo from your management console directly to the printer's memory. This button is specifically for quick print to ensure the printer retains the logo.
We have resolved an issue where, under certain conditions, printers (often Sam4S and Epson models) would appear multiple times, causing duplicate kitchen tickets. This has now been corrected.

P&L has successfully passed beta testing and, became a standalone feature from May 22.
P&L demo report with data from the last 7 days is now available to everyone. To unlock the full reporting period and export features, purchase a subscription in the Finance → P&L tab.
Pricing: $10/mo for the first location in your account and $5/mo for each additional location. Available in all plans.
Let’s take a look at the changes P&L has undergone since beta testing began last October.
If you have multiple locations in your account, you can now see financial metrics for each one separately, as well as the total for all locations.
💡 Transactions and stock deductions related to 2 locations at the same time are placed in the 'Uncategorized' column.
To display the ratio of profit and loss to revenue, click Columns → Percentages. This shows the percentage of different income and expense categories relative to revenue, making management decisions easier.
Move columns around to compare their amounts and percentages for the different months. To do this, click and hold the column title to drag it to the desired position.
We've updated the P&L structure to a tree format, making it easier to navigate and analyze main and nested categories.
Now you can select which transaction categories to include in your P&L.
Select a specific P&L section for each category. Sections are:
With this update, you can group logistics and utility categories in Costs, or place profit distributions payments after the Profit before taxation section.
Cost equivalents of manual stock deductions can be included either in Cost or Expenses sections of P&L.
By default, all stock deductions are displayed in the Cost category of P&L. When managing deduction reasons in Inventory → Stock deductions → Reasons for deductions choose the P&L category to assign them to: Cost or Expenses.
Now, you can enter both transaction date and accrual date separately. Accrual dates are available for transactions created in the management console and at the POS register.
The Accrual date allows for the accounting of prepayments and postpayments, ensuring that the transaction amount is included in the correct P&L report. For example, a transaction dated in September will transfer funds in September, while an accrual date in August will include it in the August P&L, ensuring accurate record-keeping.
We removed all transactions with 'Supply' and 'Cash Shift' categories from the P&L report by default. Such transactions cause duplication as supplies are already counted in Cost and Cash Shifts are included in Revenue.
If necessary, you can include them in P&L. Set this up in the Finance → Categories tab.
When you enable Include in P&L for the 'Supplies' financial category, the supply date will be used as the basis for accrual date.
For example, a supply added on October 30 and paid for on November 3 will be reflected in the P&L for October. However, the funds will be deducted from the selected account on November 3.
This section shows the total amount of taxes for the period, broken down by each tax type.

Now in Poster, you can break down or reprocess one product into another. We invite you to try it in Inventory → Butcheries.
Let's dive deeper into where butcheries will become an indispensable helper to simplify inventory management.
☝️ Butcheries are available in Pro pricing plan. To use this feature, update your plan in Settings → Billing or contact support.
Now the costs of stock deductions are reflected in the P&L report. Categorize them as Cost or Expenses depending on the reason for deduction.
By default, stock deductions are allocated to the Cost category in your P&L. But, you can reallocate them based on your reasons.
For instance, you might choose the Cost category for the Expiry reason or Expenses for the deductions resulted from the Menu Development by your chef.
Add new reasons or modify existing ones in Inventory → Stock deductions → Reasons for deductions.
