Epos Now 2.79 Release Notes
Released 25/08/2021
Included in this release:
Multiple Choice Product Group Additional Warnings
Additional warnings preventing customers from adding a Multiple Choice Product Group to a Product, if the Product is already contained within said MCP Group.
We are changing the way MCP Groups and Products interact. Previously our customers could add products to a multiple choice product group and then add that product within the group as well. This was resulting in endless popups and loops for customers. Moving forward the POS will warn you when trying to add a product to an MCP in which it is already contained.

Deprecation of Legacy Receipts
Legacy receipts have now been removed. We introduced newer style receipts last year and they have been a huge success for most of our customers. They’re better organized, easier to read, and remove some much needed technical debt from our system.

Native authorization
With native authorization, Developers can authorize and test the APIs by providing their key directly within the portal.
In the coming weeks and months we will continue to add more documentation, improve our FAQs and provide convenient tutorials to simplify the process of launching apps in the Epos Now App Store.
New API's
New API enables Restaurant & Hospitality Apps to print orders directly to the Kitchen & Bar
The Print Order API helps expedite food and beverage service by enabling apps to send salads to the cold station, steaks to the grill and drinks to the bar, automatically. Simply populate a transaction ID in the POST and let the kitchen take it from there.
New API enables real time prices to be deployed across marketing channels
At Epos Now we love Happy Hour as much as you do! We also know what a pain it can be to effectively advertise Happy Hour specials across your different marketing channels. The Price Scheduler API enables developers to pull menu prices in real time so that they can be updated wherever you want to advertise them.
P.S. It works for Early Bird Specials too!
New API enables Create, Update & Delete of Seating Areas & Seating Tables
Build and edit restaurant floor plans and hotel room plans to dramatically simplify integrations with Property Management Systems and Reservation Systems. Seating Area and Seating Tables APIs allows users to now create, update and delete the Seating Area and Seating tables via our API.
