Release log

Payouts show what they contain — and revenue lands in the right place

Every card acquiring payout tells you which sales days it covers, so reconciling against the bank takes one glance. And invoice drafts post to the same accounts as the daily close.

New

• · Card acquiring payouts show which sales days they include, so a deposit on your account can be reconciled without working backwards.

Improved

• · Invoice drafts post per product group, just like the daily close — the same sale lands on the same revenue account whether it goes out on an invoice or through the daily close.
• · The quick keys in the register respond again when opened via "All quick keys".
• · Card acquiring onboarding tells you when the bank account is still missing, instead of showing it as complete.

The booking page speaks in your voice — and the register answers instantly

The public booking page says what you want it to say, in your own words, both when you are taking bookings and when you are closed. In the register every tap answers at once.

New

• · Write your own text on the public booking page — a welcome at the top, and your own explanation when online booking is closed.
• · Give a single closed period its own message, so guests get the right answer for that particular day instead of a general one.

Improved

• · Every tap in the register, the kitchen display and the express kiosk answers immediately — table tiles, payment buttons and the four main kitchen buttons give feedback under the finger.
• · PIN sign-in at the register follows the finger without delay.
• · The gift card shop responds the same way as the rest of the system when a guest taps.
• · Menus and panels grow out of the button that opened them and leave the same way — and stay perfectly still for anyone who has chosen reduced motion in their system settings.

Guests manage their own booking — and the kitchen gets the whole order

Table booking lets guests move their own time within your rules, and events show what a guest needs to know before booking. In the kitchen every order arrives complete, whether it came from the kiosk, the register or the web.

New

• · Guests change the time, date and party size of their own table booking — within your opening hours, shifts and booking rules.
• · Events show an image, how many seats remain and when the evening ends — both on the guest booking page and in the public feed.
• · Tables that are changed or removed show which bookings are affected first — on the floor plan, on the Tables page and when AI Boss suggests the change. The action centre raises bookings left without a table.
• · The register gets its own detail view for online orders.

Improved

• · The express kiosk passes the whole order along — options and special requests follow through to the kitchen, and the receipt shows the amount the terminal charged.
• · The kitchen display keeps the queue intact through the whole service: tickets stay put, add-on orders are heard, and requests show on the line.
• · Guest payment holds together end to end — a part-payment survives a page reload, and the return from Swish and card fetches its result.
• · Gift cards and loyalty count the same across the chain: a chain card is found at a sister register, and stamp cards and points land correctly whatever the payment method.

Table seating thinks for itself — and your staff get their own feed

Vendion repacks the evening’s bookings for you so more parties fit, without changing anyone’s time. The staff page gathers everything that happens into one feed, and payroll transfer to Fortnox moves onto the server.

New

• · AI Auto Optimisation replans the evening’s table seating in the background, so more parties fit — without touching any guest’s time.
• · Seating picks the table that fits the party: a party of two gets a two-top. The waiting list offers a freed table to the guests who fill it best.
• · Staff get an activity feed — managers see shift swaps, absence and clock-ins together, and each team member sees their own history.
• · Payroll transfer to Fortnox runs on the server in a queue — the number of employees is no longer a limit.
• · Employees are imported from Fortnox instead of being set up twice.
• · The schedule shows who has confirmed their shift, and the reminder goes out in one click.

Improved

• · The daily close skips days without sales, so your accounts only receive entries backed by real business activity.
• · Holiday pay, unsocial-hours pay, qualifying deductions and sick pay follow the agreement in detail, and the register redraws the bill faster on every tap.

The staff card gets simple — and the period report adds up

Adding a team member now takes a short form, with no personal ID number or email required. The period report sets VAT rates against payment methods in one table, and the notification bell can be cleared so only what remains is left.

New

• · The period report sets VAT rates against payment methods, with and without VAT, shows issued gift cards on their own row, and exports to Excel where the amounts are numbers you can sum.
• · The notification bell can be cleared — dismiss a single item or mark everything done.
• · Open shifts show your staff’s requests, and the shift is assigned straight from the panel.
• · Guests state the time they want when joining the waiting list, so the offer matches when a table frees up.
• · The staff card gets tabs, new team members are added on a short form, and hiring runs on email alone — the personal ID number is optional.
• · One standing tip distribution instead of four scattered settings.

Improved

• · Campaigns reach the whole audience even when it is larger than a thousand guests, and a cancelled send leaves no recipients hanging.
• · Fields and buttons stay above the keyboard in the app, and unsubscribing from mailings takes one click.

Payroll goes all the way — and finance gets two clear views

Staff are set up once in Vendion, and the month’s payroll data goes straight into Fortnox Lön. Finance is gathered into two views that each answer their own question: what did we sell, and how is it accounted for?

New

• · Payroll data goes straight into Fortnox Lön — employees, hours, absence and amounts, with no file to carry in between.
• · Finance becomes Sales and Accounting: one view for what you sold, one for how it is reported.
• · The waiting list matches guests within a time window you set, and the guest accepts or declines right in the text message.
• · AI drafts replies to your guests’ booking messages — you read, adjust and send.
• · MOTO payment at the register for travel sites’ virtual cards.
• · Non-calendar financial year, cost centre per shift, and your own text on the bank deposit.

Improved

• · Holiday pay, unsocial-hours pay, qualifying deductions and sick pay follow the collective agreement, and the time clock states which direction the button takes before you press it.
• · Inventory lives among the products, admin tables share one look, and open card disputes appear in the notification bell before the deadline passes.

The booking book opens up — and the guest gets a word

The booking view shows the list and the floor map in one picture, with occupancy per time slot in front of you. Guests can write to you about their booking, and instead of cancelling you propose a new time.

New

• · List and floor map side by side — with occupancy per time slot and arriving guests on the timeline.
• · The guest writes to you about their booking, and you answer from admin or the register.
• · Propose a new time instead of cancelling — the guest chooses.
• · Your own questions on the booking form, booking tags and company on the booking.
• · Gift cards are sold from their own purchase page online, and the chain administers them together.
• · The period report shows payment methods per VAT rate and exports to SIE, PDF or Excel.

Improved

• · Open price: items where the price is set at the register, behind a permission.
• · The employment agreement is complete under LAS 6 c § with the signatory, and the employee can reach their signed agreement.

The register tells you what is happening — and the quick phrases are yours

When the card terminal hesitates you are told why, and if you are already at a register you always get back to it. At the same time you word your staff’s quick buttons yourself — or ask AI Boss to do it.

New

• · The quick phrases on a tab’s comment are your own: add, rename and switch them off under Menu ▸ Quick phrases.
• · AI Boss sets the quick phrases for you, both the kitchen’s and the tab’s.
• · AI Boss corrects a gift card’s validity, message and recipient — without reissuing the card.

Improved

• · If you are already at a register, you get back to it after a trip into admin.
• · When the card terminal is held by another tab, the register says so instead of just showing the button as busy.
• · A terminal that does not answer is now told apart from a declined card — the message points to where the fault actually is.
• · AI Boss always answers in words of its own, and sets the employment number when you add staff.
• · The feedback request reaches the guest even when the phone number was entered in Swedish national form, and is asked while the visit is fresh.

Tickets across the counter — and the kitchen knows what the guest cannot eat

Sell tickets like any other product and get one slip per unit straight from the printer. At the same time, the guest’s allergy travels all the way to whoever cooks the food.

New

• · Ticket products: sell drink tickets in the register or Express, and get one ticket printed per unit sold.
• · When you send to the kitchen manually, the register can ask where items without a destination of their own should go, instead of guessing.
• · The online order card in the register shows the guest’s phone number and note.

Improved

• · The guest’s allergy travels all the way to the kitchen.
• · Signing out applies only to the device you are standing at, and the register says when the sign-in needs renewing.
• · The field you are typing in is lifted above the keyboard in the browser too.
• · Staff no longer end up in the Terminal group by mistake when invited.

The employment agreement is yours — all the way to the signature

You own the wording, adjust it per hire and see the result as you type. The candidate meets your restaurant, reads the whole agreement and signs — with a receipt that holds up.

New

• · The agreement templates are yours to word, and the text can be adjusted per agreement straight in the preview.
• · The candidate reads the whole agreement before signing, gets a copy of her own afterwards, and the signing can be proven later.
• · The invitation to the candidate goes out as an email in the restaurant’s own colours and shape, and can be resent when needed.
• · The daily close can go out on the days the restaurant is closed too — you choose per recipient, so the books get their documentation every day.

Improved

• · The holiday year follows the statutory 1 April–31 March throughout the staff module.
• · AI Boss sets emoji across the whole menu in a single prompt, and the menu group has a clear label.

Skills drive the schedule — and the books run unbroken

The schedule now knows who can work where, and the books keep an unbroken voucher series even on the days the restaurant stays closed.

New

• · Skills are tied to the station of a shift, so the schedule knows who can work where — and the step is part of the getting-started guide.
• · Searchable people pickers in Staff, and when adding a member.
• · Days without sales get a zero voucher, so the accounting series runs unbroken all year.

Improved

• · The tip split shows clearly what drives the outcome — kitchen share and role weight act at different levels.

From candidate to colleague — without the paperwork

Hiring now lives in Staff: you add the candidate, send the agreement and get it back signed. At the same time, the restaurant becomes readable to the AI assistants your guests ask first.

New

• · Hire new team members end to end — the candidate fills in their details and signs the employment agreement through a link, with no account needed.
• · A getting-started guide rides along in the staff module and shows what is left until everything is in place.
• · The restaurant has a public profile with opening hours that AI assistants can read and point guests to.

Improved

• · Subscription, SMS and Tap to Pay are gathered under a menu entry of their own.

The staff card gathers it all in one place

The staff module has been taken through with the restaurateur’s eyes: fewer places to look, help text in plain language, and figures that explain what they actually show.

New

• · A PIN is set straight on the staff card, and the getting-started guide walks you through it.
• · Staff settings now have a tab of their own in the module.

Improved

• · Times are shown on a 24-hour clock throughout the staff module.

• · AI Boss takes monthly totals straight from the report instead of adding them up itself.

Move and merge bills on the table map

Two moves your staff make every night now share a home: move a bill to another table, and merge two bills into one. The target table is picked on the same floor plan the table view shows.

New

• · Pick the target table straight on the table map when moving a bill — the same floor plan as in the table view.
• · Merge two open bills into one, either from the bill itself or from the table view.
• · New till setting: the newest item can sit at the top of the bill instead of the bottom.

Improved

• · The bill jumps straight to the line you just rang in, even when it is long.
• · The table you picked stands out clearly, even when the table next to it is taken too.
• · On a merge the allergy note carries across, and an already printed preliminary bill is marked out of date.
• · Bills with a part payment, a card payment in progress or redeemed points are kept apart — they cannot be merged by mistake.

The AI suggestion staffs the whole period

The schedule view has been taken through: the suggestion follows the period you picked, every shift is tied to the right person, and the toolbar fits on screen.

New

• · The AI suggestion covers the period you choose — a week, two, a month or your own date range.

Improved

• · Every suggested shift is tied to the right employee, and you see at once how many shifts the suggestion holds.

• · The schedule toolbar fits on screen — Publish stays in view, the rest gathers in a More panel.
• · Schedule history is fetched in one go, even for a whole month.

Staff reach their own — and the till stands steadier

New

Payroll that counts the way the agreement reads

New

• · Overtime and additional-hours pay is calculated in kronor and carries through to the payroll basis.
• · Staff news gathers everything you want to reach your team with in one place.
