BrownPOS keeps getting better

New Restaurant

Guests can see their own bookings and points

A guest can now sign in from your booking box to see their bookings and, if you keep points, their points. They type the e-mail and phone they booked with, then a six-digit code we send to that e-mail. There is no password. Points show once you have seated them at least once.

What changed · 3

• Bookings are listed as coming up and earlier, with whether the guest came, missed or cancelled.
• The sign-in answers the same whether or not the details match, so nobody can use it to check who your guests are.
• A guest who booked without an e-mail is asked to have the restaurant add one.

Improved Security & platform

Tighter control of who can do what

A PIN typed at a till no longer opens the back office, and pairing a till or editing outlets needs the back-office sign-in. Only the Owner edits roles, and nobody can give a role with more rights than they hold. Obvious PINs (0000, 1234, 1111) are refused when set, and an owner can clear a PIN lock.

Improved Restaurant

A split bill always adds up to the bill

Splitting a table equally, by items or by amount now gives parts that add up exactly to the bill, with the odd cent going to the first parts. An item added after "split by items" goes on the first part not yet paid, so it can no longer fall off the bill.

Fixed Security & platform

Safer exports and printouts

Exported files can no longer run a formula when they are opened in Excel, and a customer's name can no longer break a printed statement.

Improved Back office

Stock, suppliers and customers behave

Opening stock typed with no cost now takes one, so margin is no longer 100%. A transfer on the road can be taken back, and one that arrives short tells the owner. A supplier payment cannot be more than the bill. Loyalty points are whole points, rounded down. Waiters no longer see customers' phones and addresses. The Telegram day summary says who refunded and voided.

Fixed Restaurant

Online booking handles more

Opening hours that run past midnight now take bookings. Two guests choosing the same time at once are both given a table, and one visitor can no longer hold every table. A new shop's desk does not double-book until the shop says so.

New Restaurant

Seat a late guest at another table

When a no-show turns up late and their table has been given away, the desk can now pick another table for them. A table with fewer seats than the party shows a warning first, and still lets you go ahead.

Improved Restaurant

Tables and the kitchen, tidied

A table has one open bill, and items two waiters send together print once. Closing a shift tells you how many tables are still open. Kitchen tickets work with Tables as well as Counter service, and a station on "Food" also takes the categories inside it. "Cancelled after sending" follows your business day, and Khmer table names work.

Fixed Till

No more "Offline" while the server is there

A quiet till now checks in with the server every 20 seconds, so it no longer shows Offline after half a minute of nobody touching it. Sales rung up in that moment no longer wait to be sent.

Improved Till

Discounts are judged together

A line discount and a cart discount can no longer add up past your limit without a manager. When a manager is needed, they are asked once for the whole sale, not once for every discount.

Fixed Till

A refund gives back exactly what was paid

A full refund no longer comes out a cent more or less than the customer paid, in dollars or in riel. Two tills can no longer refund or void the same sale at the same moment.

Fixed Till

Offline sales are not lost when something changed meanwhile

A sale rung up offline at an old VAT rate is now taken instead of refused. A sale the server must refuse is kept whole on the Decisions page, where you can post it anyway.

Improved Till

A product with no tax rate gets the shop's default rate

In a VAT-registered shop, a product left on "The shop's default rate" is now charged that rate, at the till and on the server. Before, it was sold with no VAT at all.

What changed

• A product you meant to leave untaxed now needs a 0% tax rate such as Exempt, chosen on the product.

Improved Back office

Every shop has a $50 write-off limit

A customer debt written off above the limit now needs the owner. The limit starts at $50 for every shop, and you can change the number in Settings. Every write-off also sends a Telegram alert, so the owner always hears about it.

New Back office

Limit a person to their own outlets

A person assigned to certain outlets now sees and changes only those, starting with stock, sales, reports and outlets. Someone with two or more outlets picks one to work in.

Fixed Till

Fixes to opening a shift, picture errors and two links

Opening a shift just after the connection comes back now carries on with the shift the register already has, instead of starting a second one. A picture the back office cannot read now says so in red, not in the green of "Picture saved". The "All the news" and "All questions" links on the home page are bigger to tap.

Fixed Till

The Day summary shows the server's figures straight away

Opened in the first moments after the till starts, the Day summary used to say Offline and show only this till's sales, and kept saying so. It now updates by itself as soon as the till reaches the server.

Improved Till

A refund needs a manager's PIN

A cashier can no longer hand money back on their own. Every refund now asks for a manager's PIN, the way a void or a big discount already does, so a refund is always signed off by someone you trust.

What changed

• Owners and managers can still refund directly. A custom role copied from Cashier keeps whatever you gave it.

New Payments

Charge a bill to a guest's hotel room

If your shop is in or beside a hotel that uses OtelCloud, a cashier can put the bill on the guest's room instead of taking payment. The till asks the hotel who is in the room first, so a bill never lands on the wrong guest.

What changed · 3

• Connect your hotel once in the back office; until then the Charge to room button does not appear on the till.
• The till shows the room and the guest's name for the cashier to confirm before anything is charged, and the receipt names the room and the guest.
• If the hotel cannot be reached the bill is kept and tried again. If the hotel refuses it, it appears on the Decisions page, where you move it to the customer's account or void the sale.

Fixed Till

Fixes from a full check of the shop

A full check of the live till and back office turned up a number of small faults. These are put right.

What changed · 4

• With no printer chosen, "preview on screen" now shows the receipt, and two offline messages now say in plain words what is wrong.
• One browser tab runs a till at a time, so two tabs can no longer share one queue of sales.
• No item can be priced above $100,000, and a sale sent twice is refused by name and shown on the Decisions page.
• In a shop that adds VAT on top, a refund gives the customer back the VAT they paid.

Improved Back office

Rename a category, or take it away

A category can now be renamed. Taking one away moves its products to Uncategorised, and its name can be used again.

Improved Till

Things sold per piece are sold whole

A product sold per piece can no longer be sold by the half: the quantity box on the till takes whole numbers only, and the server refuses a fraction. Products sold by weight or by measure keep their decimals.

New Till

A very large sale asks a manager's PIN

A sale above your limit now needs a manager's PIN before it can be paid, which catches a slipped decimal or a wrong quantity before it becomes a sale. The limit starts at $5,000 and you set it in the back office under Settings, Sales & stock.

Improved Till

Riel cash is rounded once, on the whole bill

When a customer pays in riel cash, the bill is rounded once to a whole 100៛, however many notes pay it, so the change no longer differs from one way of paying to another. A bill never rounds down to nothing: the least you can be asked for in riel cash is 100៛.

Improved Back office

The tax report shows before VAT, the VAT, and the total

For each tax rate the report now gives your sales before VAT, the VAT itself and the total with VAT, with what was returned and voided beside them. A figure called net sales no longer quietly includes the VAT.

Improved Back office

Refunds and voids come off your net sales and profit

What you hand back to customers, and every voided sale, is now taken off your net sales, your tax and your margin. Reports show the refunded and voided amounts in their own columns, so nothing is hidden.

Improved Till

The drawer asks why when it closes out

When a cashier closes the drawer and the cash is short or over by any amount, the till now asks why, with a few quick answers or a note of their own. The reason is kept with the shift and shown in your shift variance report.

New Restaurant

Take bookings without the Restaurant menu

Table reservations now works on its own. Set your opening hours and draw your tables inside Reservations, and the booking box offers times as soon as both are saved.

What changed · 4

• Reservations → Hours & tables now has your opening hours, Monday first, with Use Monday’s hours every day.
• Draw your tables opens the floor plan right there, and Back to Hours & tables brings you back when you are done.
• Until your hours are saved, the page tells you plainly that the booking box reads every day as closed.
• If you also have the Digital Menu, it is the same set of hours: change them in either place and both agree.

Fixed Restaurant

The bookings sheet prints your own time

The printed bookings sheet said when it was printed in UTC, seven hours behind Phnom Penh. It now shows your own time, like every other printed page.

Improved Back office

Printed pages keep their margins, whatever your printer says

Reports, customer statements, invoices, the till’s day summary, the floor plan and the bookings sheet now keep a clean white border on every page, even when the print window is set to no margins.

What changed · 4

• A long report keeps its border at the top and bottom of every page, not only the first and the last.
• With your print window’s margins on, each page still carries the report’s name and its page number.
• Invoices no longer lose their number and total off the right edge.
• Reports, statements and the floor plan PDF no longer print a “Made with BrownPOS” line — the paper is yours.

Fixed Back office

Back office fixes

Small things shop owners ran into, now put right.

What changed · 5

• A till you pair shows in Outlets & tills straight away, without reloading the page.
• Price on label fits on a tablet screen when you print labels.
• A damaged photo you upload gets a plain sentence saying so, not an error page.
• Error messages read as plain sentences, without a machine code in front of them.
• Stock valuation, cost of goods and purchase order totals now round weighed items to the nearest cent, instead of coming out a cent short.

Improved Till

A refused action, explained in plain words

When the server turns something down, the till now shows only the plain reason and what to do next. The technical details are still there behind Show details, for when we ask for them.

Fixed Till

Till fixes

On a tablet, the buttons beside Pay keep their full names.

What changed

• Park, Recall, Price check, Sales, Open drawer and Cancel sit three across where there is room and two where there is not, without cutting a word short.

Improved Back office

Import products in three clear steps

Importing products from a CSV file now works like importing customers: numbered steps, drop your file in, download a template, and a clear list of anything that needs fixing.

What changed · 2

• The screen lists all 16 columns you can import, not only some of them.
• A note the server gives only for your information no longer stops the import.

Improved Back office

Set your Telegram alerts in plain words

Each of the eight alerts you can tune now opens in place with a box named the way the alert reads — a percent, a dollar amount, a currency pair — and Use the usual number puts it back.

Improved Back office

Needs a decision: everything waiting, on one page

What your tills could not finish on their own now sits on one page in three views — Waiting, Dealt with and Let go at a till — so nothing is lost and every decision is on the record.

What changed · 3

• Search, and filter by outlet or by kind.
• Pick several and settle them in one go, with one note.
• When nothing is waiting, the page says so plainly.

Improved Till

The till says when an update is ready, and waits for you

A new version downloads in the background while you serve. When it is ready a strip under the header says so, with a full-size Reload button — and nothing reloads until someone presses it.

What changed · 5

• A new version downloads quietly while you serve. Nothing on the screen changes until Reload is pressed, so a reload never lands in the middle of a sale.
• The strip takes the shape of the bar above it: rounded and set in from the edges on Register this terminal, and right across the screen on a till that is signed in and selling.
• Reload is a full-size button with a refresh mark, sized for a thumb on a screen that is touched all day, and it stands clear of the strip in dark mode as well as light.
• A download mark in a circle with one slow ring going out of it, so a waiting version reads as news from across the counter rather than as an alarm.
• Nothing blinks: one soft light drifts across now and then, behind the words. If the device is set to reduce motion, the strip sits still, as the rest of the till does.

Improved Back office

Outlet and till limits, explained before you click

New outlet and Pair a till now disable themselves the moment you are at your package's limit, with the reason beside them and a link to Billing — instead of a refusal after you have already filled in the form.

Fixed Website

Your QR menu shows again, wherever you frame it

A security change meant to protect the site had quietly stopped your menu appearing when framed inside your own website. It is fixed, and your booking box was never affected.

Fixed Till

A dropped connection no longer loses your shift

If your tablet reloads in the middle of a shift, the till picks up exactly where it left off instead of asking you to open a new one.

What changed · 2

• A sale sent the moment your connection drops is never left stuck; the till sends it again the next time it can reach the server.
• Sending it twice is always safe — the server only ever takes it once.

Improved Till

A calmer first run for a new till

Register this terminal now looks like the rest of the till — a welcome, the registration code, a device name, and you are selling.

What changed

• Ask your manager for the code from Back office → Settings → Outlets & tills.

New Security & platform

Your sign-ins are watched for repeated guessing

Too many wrong passwords in a row locks that sign-in for a while, and BrownPOS is told the moment it happens — nobody at your shop needs to watch for it.

What changed · 2

• Locked for fifteen minutes on the first ten, an hour after that, a day after that — the lock lifts itself, nobody has to ask.
• It clears itself when the time is up; if you need it sooner, we can lift it from our side.

Improved Back office

Staff, read as a list of people

Your team's page now reads like the people on it: a face in the role's colour, the name, the role and outlets as pills — and the whole row opens the person.

What changed · 2

• Suspended people sort to the bottom of the list and read dimmed.
• On a phone, each person's card stacks under their name instead of a table you scroll sideways.

New Payments

Choose which ways to pay your till offers

From Settings → Payments & KHQR, switch off a way you don't take, rename your card machine, add a bank app, and put them in the order your cashiers reach for.

What changed · 2

• Cash and exchange credit always stay on, since a till needs them to give change.
• Removing a way you added is only allowed before it has ever taken money; once it has, it switches off instead, and stays on the record.

New Back office

Reset your password by e-mail

Forgot your back office password? A six-digit code goes to your e-mail, good for ten minutes, and you are straight back in once you use it.

What changed · 3

• Forgot password? on the sign-in screen, beside the password.
• Changing your sign-in e-mail sends a code to the new address; the old one is told once it is done.
• An e-mail tells you whenever your password changes, so you know if it wasn't you.

New Restaurant

Take bookings on your own website

A booking box for the website you already have, writing straight into one diary that the back office and the till both read. No commission to anybody for a table in your own restaurant.

What changed · 7

• Paste one line into WordPress, Wix, Shopify or plain HTML — or use the link and a printed QR.
• The box takes your colour, sits as a card or with no edges, and grows to the width you choose.
• Say what you ask guests for: the e-mail and the note can each be left out, asked for, or insisted on.
• The table is held while the guest types their name, so a time cannot be sold twice.
• The diary, a searchable list, tonight’s floor, and the rules in Hours & tables — all in the back office.
• At the till, tonight’s bookings are grouped into late, here now and coming; seat a party in one tap.
• The bell tells you when bookings came in from your website that nobody here has taken.

Improved Till

Nothing on the booking screen happens on one tap

Seating a party, writing one off or calling one off all ask first, and each question names the booking it is about.

What changed · 3

• Seating used to just happen. It is the button on every row, on a screen being touched all night.
• The guest, the time, the party and the table are shown on a slip inside the question.
• A booking’s menu now reads the guest’s name as a name, not as a table code.

New Restaurant

Turn room pieces to any angle

Walls, doors, windows, the bar and every other piece of the room can stand at an angle.

What changed · 3

• Drag the round knob above a piece, in 15° steps, or freely with Shift held.
• Pick 45°, 90° or another angle from its right-click menu or its details, or press Shift R.
• The till’s Tables screen draws each piece at the same angle.

New Till

Manager approval in a proper window

When a cashier needs a manager’s say-so, a window opens over the screen that asked, in plain words.

What changed · 3

• It says what is being asked and who is asking.
• The manager picks their own name and types their PIN on the keypad, or on the keyboard.
• It works the same on the sale, the Tables screen and the shift.

Improved Website

• The Digital Menu’s live preview no longer hides the shop’s name behind the phone’s notch.

• The printed statement reads the same way.

What changed · 3

Open the till takes you to a till for the very shop you are in.

What changed · 3

• A till paired to another shop asks before it switches.
• A till that was removed from the shop says so, and keeps its unsent sales for a manager to see.

Improved Till

What changed · 3

• Owners and managers first, then cashiers, waiters, kitchen and stock.

• The PIN keypad appears under the person you pick, with Not you? to change.
