Runner added to Invoices
 
A runner is a waiter responsible for quickly and accurately delivering orders from the kitchen/bar to customers at the restaurant.
Setting Up Runners – Easy as Pie! 
We've made setting up runners super simple. You can use the same familiar Users screen to create them, just like you would any other user. But there's a twist – runners won't have access to the system. This way, you can assign them invoices and track their deliveries without giving them full access to sensitive information.  
Flexibility 
Turn the Runner Service on or off for each outlet, giving you the flexibility to choose where it works best. 
Make runners mandatory for certain outlets to ensure efficient service. 
Reporting 
The Transaction Audit report now includes information about runners, giving you a clearer picture of your operation. 
Mobile App 
Easily assign a runner to a new invoice right from the mobile app. 
Modify the assigned runner directly from the Edit Invoice screen. 
Quickly see who's servicing an invoice with a new runner icon on the invoice details screen. 
Track your runner performance with updated Shift Totals that consider assigned runners.

iMiN SWAN 1 Secondary Screen Support (Hardware) 

By default the second screen will show the NebulaPOS logo and nothing else no matter what screen you are on.

If you enable patron screen content (Setup>Devices>'Patron Screen Settings') then specific content should show on the following screens:
When looking at the details of an invoice then the line items (including confirmed cart orders) should show on the second screen as well as a summary of the invoice total.
On any of the payment screens the second screen should show the payment summary.

If you choose 'guest gratuity' on any of the payment screens then the 2 screens should be duplicated and you can choose the gratuity on the patron facing screen.
You can customize the logo/image that is displayed on the patron facing screen. This is device specific and can be configured on the device settings page.

There are 6 options: Account Logo, Brand Logo, Property Logo, Outlet Logo, Device Logo or NebulaPOS Logo. If device Logo is selected then it is uploaded under the dropdown, all other logos are uploaded on the relevant settings page.
The patron facing screen will then show the relevant logo depending on what Customer/Property/Outlet is being used and will change if the selection changes.

Transferred Transactions Causing A Discrepancy On Shift Totals

Issue:
This issue is broader than transfers.
Any transaction that was not transacted by a user, will not be reported on their shift totals. The person who performs a transaction is credited on shift totals.

Solution:
For shift totals, the waiter on the invoice is used now instead to credit all transactions for that invoice.
This ensures that shift totals (revenue vs payments) will balance when reporting by user.
Manager/supervisor actions will no longer interfere with reporting by taking credit for transactions by waiters (so far as shift totals are concerned).
