      <title>The staff module all the way to payroll</title>
      <link>https://vendion.com/en/releaselog#2026-07-30</link>

      <description>Scheduling, absence, tips and premiums now follow one and the same model all the way to the payroll basis. And you can follow what we build from inside the app.
• What’s new in Vendion — a page in admin where you follow every release, with a dot at the top when something has landed.
• The staff ledger can be shown straight from the till during an inspection.
• The till tells the terminal’s own message apart from the card’s — staff see immediately when a terminal needs charging.
• Tip distribution follows the kitchen share and the role weights you have set.
• Absence shows up in the schedule and carries all the way to the payroll basis.
• Public-holiday premiums are calculated by one and the same model, from schedule to payroll.
• Staff accounts hold together through the whole lifecycle — invitation, re-invitation and offboarding.
• Analytics reports tips, labour cost and payment methods the same way the till and payroll do.</description>

      <title>A steadier payment flow at the till</title>
      <link>https://vendion.com/en/releaselog#2026-07-29</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://vendion.com/en/releaselog#2026-07-29</guid>
      <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Payments at the till have been reworked under the hood: faster feedback, clearer status and full visibility on partially paid bills.
• Partially paid bills continuously show what is settled and what remains.
• The register log shows who issued refunds and voids.
• The till says right away when a payment is already running.
• The PIN lock applies to a single device — a manager can unlock it on the spot.
• Night-shift premiums and public-holiday OB follow the actual collective agreement model.</description>

      <title>Card acquiring, event by event</title>
      <link>https://vendion.com/en/releaselog#2026-07-25</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://vendion.com/en/releaselog#2026-07-25</guid>
      <pubDate>Sat, 25 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Settlements and balances now report every event separately — purchases, refunds and payouts — reconciled against the payments taken at the till.
• Settlements report each event separately, so the transaction count mirrors the day at the till.
• The balance view separates money on its way to the bank from payouts still in flight.
• Settlements are reconciled automatically against the card payments recorded at the till.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://vendion.com/en/releaselog#2026-07-19</guid>
      <pubDate>Sun, 19 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>• Every journal entry and invoice reaches Fortnox exactly once, even if the same batch is sent again.
• Entries created by Vendion are labelled in Fortnox, so you can see at a glance what came from the till.

      <pubDate>Sat, 18 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>• The home screen remembers the app you used last and takes you straight there next time.
• The screen after a completed sale is compact — the buttons fit without scrolling.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://vendion.com/en/releaselog#2026-07-17</guid>
      <pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Stamps count correctly and the reward is applied automatically — at the till and when the guest pays online.
• The stamp-card reward is applied automatically when the guest pays online too.
• Guests fill in their own birthday, and you follow the stamp cards from admin.
• Monthly budgets in analytics are saved exactly as you type them.
• Long lists — menu items, segments and tags — are searchable and open downwards.</description>

      <description>Marketing automations moved into a proper editor, stamp cards got their own home, and bookings now reach your inbox.
• Automations are built step by step in their own editor: trigger, channel, content and audience.

      <description>The booking widget moves onto the restaurant’s own site, resources are managed from the back office, and payroll figures hold up across month boundaries.

      <description>Campaigns, reviews and sharing material in earnest — plus a timeline where bookings move with a fingertip.
• The email builder assembles the send with drag and drop, and can draft one for you with both copy and images.
• Campaigns and automations go out from the restaurant’s own sender address, with replies coming back to you.

      <description>Events can be sold up front, tables can be held with a card — and bookings can follow rules you write yourself.
• Event tickets are sold and paid for as the guest books.
• A table can be held with a card guarantee, carrying a fee when the guest is a no-show.
• Cancellations within your policy are refunded automatically, and a cancelled occurrence is refunded in one go.
• Your own booking rules: conditions you choose trigger a guarantee, a confirmation, a tag or a message.
• Digital employment contracts signed by staff in the portal, with an onboarding checklist.
• Google Pay, Apple Pay and Swish in online payments.
• An event occurrence can be marketed straight to the guests who were there.

      <description>Online ordering got a checkout of its own, the kitchen board moved into the till — and a bill can be refunded line by line.
• Refund line by line, with any quantity and any payment method.
• Copy a bill — start a new open bill from a previous order.
• Online orders are worked on a board at the till: new, in the kitchen, ready and out.

• One product can be an add-on to another, at the right price and on its own line on ticket and receipt.
• Guests see their live and previous orders, and replies are typed out as they arrive.
• A cash refund shows the amount to hand back and opens the cash drawer.

• The payment view is locked while a payment runs, with a clear cancel button.

      <description>On 23 June the first restaurant took Vendion into live service — real guests, real receipts, a real day of trading.
• A graphical floor plan with tables, chairs, walls, bar and plants — the same plan in admin and at the till.
• The Live view in analytics shows the pulse of the day, open bills and the flow as it happens.
• A guide for registering the till with the Swedish Tax Agency, pre-filled, plus "About this till" at the till itself.

• Comp the guest — a bill can be completed at zero with a stated reason.
• Analytics counts the day from your opening hour rather than midnight.
• Table colour shows the state of the bill: empty, not yet sent, in service or paid.</description>

      <description>Card terminals talk straight to the till, and the money is followed all the way into the books.
• The card terminal is driven from the till: amount, tip prompt and receipt on the terminal’s own printer.
• Card acquiring inside Vendion: settlements, payouts, balance and disputes in admin.
• Bookkeeping connects to Fortnox — Z reports and invoices become journal entries.
• Split bills: guests divide the bill and each pay their share via a QR code on the pre-bill.
• The cash drawer opens automatically on cash, and can be opened manually with a PIN.
• A Z report per till, attached to the day’s summary.

      <description>A large release: gift cards, loyalty, bundles and a new look throughout — with booking, staff and the till in one system.
• Gift cards are sold at the till, delivered by text or email and redeemed both at the till and online.
• Loyalty with points, tiers carrying benefits, and stamp cards — visible to staff at the till.
• Bundles: several products at one price, with the right VAT and a grouped line on ticket and receipt.
• Line and bill discounts appear on the pre-bill and the receipt, with VAT calculated correctly.
• The staff register exports to the Swedish Tax Agency, and payroll figures handle unsocial hours.
• Table booking gained a waiting list, reconfirmation, special periods and guest tags.
• Admin has new navigation: full width, tabs and a direct link to every view.
• The till is designed for the room it stands in — large touch targets, light and dark modes.</description>

      <description>The foundations of Vendion reach production: guests book for themselves, staff have rotas and time, and the numbers live in analytics.

• Bookings appear at the till, linked to the guest.
• Rotas, time reporting and payroll figures for the team.
• The till checks the control unit before every payment and shows its status continuously.
