Shared by Max β€’ March 21, 2024

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 β†’ Stock deductions β†’ Reasons for deductions.

News: QR Hub

Max avatar
Shared by Max β€’ February 09, 2024

We're bringing something new to Poster QR - it's called QR Hub. You already know how Poster QR provides websites for your cafe. Now, QR Hub is here to make experience for your dine-in customers smoother.

What's QR Hub? QR Hub is a simple extra we've added. It gives your customers options when they scan a QR code at your place. They can:

  • See your menu.
  • Share feedback about your service.

Why QR Hub?

  • Easy Feedback: Customers can let you know what they think, right from their phones.
  • Better Experience: Using separate QR codes for the tables inside and for your takeout packaging or business cards makes more sense and space for future upgrades of Poster QR particularly in the dine-in area.
  • Works with Your Website: If you've got a Poster QR website, QR Hub fits right in, adding more to what you already offer.

We hope QR Hub makes a good new piece for your cafe, helping you and your customers enjoy even more of what you do.
