This is a big update. Please do the update when your business is closed for service. Make a backup before you start (settings -> data -> data -> backup).

64 bit conversion done … pfff heavy stuff, only ‘testable’ in 64 bit if you have a newer iPad. This should run normal in 32 bit mode if you have an older iPad. To help us out, please activate crash reports, so we can see what is going (wr)on(g) : settings -> privacy -> diagnostics & usage -> automatically send -> share with app developer (in your iPads settings).

Please also accept push notification in WaiterOne. We have some nice updates ready for the near future and push notifications will be needed to work optimal with WaiterOne. Don’t be scared, we will not send you publicity! Also fill in your licensee data and click on the ‘update location’ button. The future will be fun, believe me!

Important notice : this version of WaiterOne will not work on the iPad 1. Sorry guys, but the latest version of iOS has so much to offer, that we can’t support the old (5 years) iPad anymore (running iOS 5.1.1). If you still want to upgrade to the latest version of WaiterOne, replace your iPad with a newer one.

What’s new :
• Sound switch added. Now you can shut up WaiterOne, handy if you use your iPad also as muzak device
• Added 3 new switches to the users :
– user can close a table/tab/cheque
– user can delete a table
– user can move a button
As always, the boss is in control of everything. If there is no boss, everybody becomes boss!!
• Open drawer switch added to payment methods, e.g. open the cash drawer if cash payment was used, do not open it when a card was used
• Copies field added to payment methods, e.g. print 2 tickets instead of one if card payment was used
• Payment method added to sales and to copy of ticket, some people will be glad with this I guess?
• Payment now has some fields to make it possible to open another app when payment method is used, e.g. open payment card company app to let your client pay with his credit card
• Number of days visible on the dashboard now set as a parameter in the settings
• Number of last openend tables/tabs on table/tab list now set as a parameter in the settings
• Log file added to sharing folder in iTunes and to the support email you send to us. Remember if you want to send us a support email from within WaiterOne, then just go to : settings -> about -> support
• Backup will be made from now on when database is changed after an update, you can see the backup files in your iTunes FileSharing folder
• New printer driver for Star Line printers, also as bluetooth printer!!
• New report added : Day -> Payment methods, print your payment methods in a report, summarised day by day

Removed :
• New report added : Payment methods -> VAT/TAXES (GDPdU-konform, German TAX law)

Updated :
• Bigger results possible in sales
• Location added to license (please use it)
• Socket Mobile scanner engine
• Database engine update
• Minimum rows and columns changed to 4 and 3, crazy big buttons, nice for businesses with just a few products but all goes very very (read crazy) fast, a madhouse …
• Rewritten some code so that the app works less with in memory data but more with the data in the database. More to follow …
• Table order changed, more logical! THIS IS STIL IN PROGRESS …
• Changing text in the data should be easier. The ‘click’ on a field has been improved. Never think again, I did click no?
• Smoother print outs, if you don’t believe me, compare your print outs! Also updates printer drivers in WaiterOne. Added new markup codes to print out logo’s if printer is not 100% the same as the Epson e.g. Star, Rongta Tech en Citizen printers. See our FAQ for more details if you want to put a logo on your receipt.
• Added support for Star Line mode printers, inclusive Star printers that work with bluetooth!
• Using QRCode as user/waiter login is improved. Please print out your user/waiter QRCodes in data -> users, and activate software barcode and blind mode in the settings -> barcode. Hold your QRcodes horizontal or vertical to read them, it’s blazing fast
• Improved background/foreground handling for remote/dashboard/cos. Quick reminder : remember that you can see your dashboard using a browser, surf to the ip address of your iPad on port 8081 (e.g. 192.168.192.10:8081). With clever port forwarding on your router you can access your results from outside your business
• % On open price button works now differently depending if the button is modifier or not. If it is a normal button (not a modifier) the percentage works on the total of the ticket (if you want to give your client a discount on the whole ticket). If the button is a modifier, the percentage only works on the previous selected button (if you want to give your client a discount on one item)

Bugs :
• Attachments in result email not always in the correct text encoding, some characters were unreadable. If you have troubles with printing out reports/tickets, please check for special characters, you can use them (é, à, ü, …) as long as your printer support them!!
• Visual bug when selecting default price on the tables
• When scanning a barcode, the button on the screen will also update the items now
• Disabled animation setting was activated again after restart of the app
• Open drawer on Star raster printers was giving a time out
• When putting an empty name to a button, payment or user
• App crash when creating day ->products report over a longer period
• Calculation results in reports. Computers are bad calculators, D’oh!
