- 2026-09-24FeatureAsk the menu in a sentence

- 2026-09-24FeatureMenu search reads the whole dish
Guest menu search now matches names, descriptions, section headings and dietary tags, so vegan finds vegan dishes, and it highlights the words that matched.
- 2026-09-24FeatureProvisional holds
Hold a table for an enquiry before it is confirmed. Holds show in amber everywhere, and confirming one emails the guest their confirmation.

Guests on long menus can jump straight to a section, and the menu shows which section they are reading.

- 2026-09-23FeatureEasier editing for long menus

- 2026-09-22FeatureSay how orders reach the guest
Each venue can say whether orders are brought to the table, collected from the counter or the guest's choice. The guest table picker now uses those words.

Add your own questions to the enquiry form and let guests choose which booking type or event they are asking about. Answers show on the enquiry and carry into the booking.

Voice agent settings have an About the venue field for facts the agent reads before every call, such as parking, the entrance, dogs and private rooms.
- 2026-09-17FeatureVoice agent reporting
Venues on the voice agent early access get a Reporting page with calls, bookings, conversion, deposits and guest spend for the last 7, 30 or 90 days. Each booking the agent took opens in the full booking panel.

- 2026-09-17FeatureMenus with photos on the booking page
Menus on the booking page are now photo tiles, and the menu preview leads with its photo. On desktop they sit in the right-hand column under What's on.
- 2026-09-17FeatureWhat's on leads the booking page
On desktop, the booking page opens its right-hand column with up to three upcoming events as photo cards. Events look the same wherever they appear.
- 2026-09-17FeatureBooking searches you can share
The booking page keeps the guest's date, party size and time in its link, so a reload, a shared link or the back button returns to the same search.

Guests can sign in with an email code to see and edit their profile, choose email and SMS marketing for each business they are opted in with, or delete their account.

- 2026-09-15FeatureParty sizes that fit the booking
The booking page now offers party sizes within each booking type's or event's own limits, so a private dining room for 8 to 20 no longer offers a table for two.

Quick service venues can stop Square till orders being matched to bookings by table. Guests attach to the bill by scanning their QR code, and the daily report drops figures that only make sense for bookings.

The Menus, Items and Modifier Groups pages have moved from Bookings to Ordering, where items arrive with their modifiers from Square. Old links redirect.
- 2026-09-14FeaturePre-order fixes

- 2026-09-13FeatureTake full payment for bookings
Venues can charge the full amount for a booking, not just a deposit, on booking types, events and special dates. Guests pay now or settle the balance later, and staff can see balances and request payment.

A venue with no Square catalogue can connect Square from the Ordering Products page and sync its items straight in.
- 2026-09-11FeatureForwarded numbers for the voice agent
Venues on the voice agent early access can list the numbers that forward to their voice line. Calls from those numbers are asked for the guest's own phone number, so bookings are not logged against a shared landline.

Each ordering menu can use its own brand kit, so guests see your logo, name and colour on the menu and on the icon they save to their home screen.
- 2026-09-11FeatureAudiences by workflow email
The audience builder can now filter guests by whether they received, opened or clicked a workflow email, picked by name or subject.

- 2026-09-08FeatureProducts show where they are sold
Ordering shows which venues sell each product, based on Square, and the menu editor's product picker offers only what the menu's venues sell. A Square sync now tells you what changed at each venue.
- 2026-09-08FeatureMulti-account ordering
One menu can span several venues, and several Square accounts. Guests see one menu and pay once. You pick which venue takes the money, so the whole payment settles to that Square location and its bank account, and every other venue’s part of the order is marked paid.
- 2026-09-06FeatureNew mobile booking search
On phones, the booking search opens as three large tiles for guests, date and time, each with its own picker. Events, enquiries and FAQs now sit in one bar at the foot of the screen.

- 2026-09-02FeatureMenus open faster from a QR scan
