Your services and team can now appear as browsable cards on your storefront — a customer taps a service (or a specific team member) and lands on a clean booking page with it already selected, ready to pick a time. You control where the cards sit (above your items, below them, or hidden) and can add a photo to each service and each team member so the page feels like yours; team photos show as round avatars, and anything without a picture falls back to a tidy initials badge. There's also a dedicated, shareable booking page with its own link and QR code — find it under More → Share booking page — so you can drop "book here" into a bio, a message, or a printed sign, and customers can book without opening your full storefront. Everything follows your storefront's colours and layout automatically.

Book-by-staff-member just got smarter. Under Reservations → More → Staff schedules, each team member can now have their own weekly working hours — including split shifts with a midday break — so a stylist who works Tuesday to Saturday is never offered for a Monday appointment. Add time off for vacations or a half-day out, and new bookings for that person are blocked while existing ones stay put for you to move. Anyone without a custom schedule simply follows your business hours, like before.

The multi-stylist upgrade is here. Open any service and turn on performed by a specific staff member, then tick who on your team does it — customers booking that service now pick their person (or "No preference", and WhatsMenu assigns whoever's free, spreading bookings evenly across the team). Every staff member gets their own calendar: booking Ana at 2:00 never blocks Ben's 2:00. Confirmations, reminders and the customer's manage-booking link all say who the appointment is with, rescheduling stays with the same person, and the panel card shows the assignment at a glance.

When a driver is carrying several deliveries at once, their app now bundles them into a single run — ordered from nearest to farthest from where they are — with one-tap navigation to each stop and the cash to collect shown up front. Fewer back-and-forth trips means quicker deliveries during your busy periods, with no setup on your end.

Every booking confirmation and reminder now includes a secure Manage booking link — no login needed. From it, your customer can cancel (the slot reopens instantly for someone else) or reschedule to another genuinely open time, and you're notified the moment they do. Fewer "sorry, I need to cancel" phone calls, and customers who can move a booking in two taps often reschedule instead of just not showing up. You stay in control: turn either action off in Settings → Apps → Reservations, and the lock window (2 hours by default) means last-minute changes still have to go through you.

You can now set the time between slots under Reservations → Settings — offer start times every 15, 20 or 30 minutes, on the hour, or whatever suits your day. It's separate from how long a service takes: a 30-minute service set to on-the-half-hour offers 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, while the appointment still lasts its full 30 minutes. Default stays 15 minutes, so nothing changes unless you want it to. The service editor is also tidier now — details, time buffers and staff are grouped into clear sections — and the services list shows at a glance which team member performs each one.

No-shows are the most expensive problem in appointment businesses — so bookings can now remind themselves. Pick a window under Settings → Apps → Reservations → Remind customer before their booking (1 to 48 hours) and every confirmed booking sends the customer one automatic reminder ahead of their start time. Speaking of channels: email joins WhatsApp, and you now choose how customers hear from you. Two switches in settings — Notify customers via WhatsApp and via email — set your defaults, and the confirm dialog shows a checkbox per channel so you can decide differently for any single booking. Email is free; the booking form has an optional email field, and customers who fill it in get their confirmations, updates, and reminders in their inbox — with replies going straight to you.

Reservations now understands what your customers are booking, not just when. Define your services under Apps → Services — a haircut, a consultation, a test drive — each with its own duration, optional price, and prep or cleanup padding. The moment you have one active service, your booking form switches to real time slots: customers pick a service and see only the times that are actually open, computed from your business hours minus every existing booking. Taken times never appear, and if two customers race for the last slot, exactly one wins and the other is asked to pick again. Multi-chair salons and multi-room studios can set how many bookings may run in parallel, and a minimum-notice setting keeps last-minute surprises off your calendar. If you don't define services, your booking flow stays exactly as it was.

Skip the manual hand-off. In your Drivers settings you can now have each delivery assigned automatically to the nearest available driver — either the moment your store accepts the order or when it's marked prepared — and they're notified right away. If a driver declines, the order rolls to the next-nearest one on its own. Prefer to assign by hand? Leave it off and nothing changes.

Your drivers can now take a photo at the drop-off point when completing a delivery — the items at the door or with the customer. The photo appears on the order's detail page, ready whenever a "my order never arrived" question comes up. Make it mandatory with the new Require delivery photo toggle in Settings → Apps → Drivers, or leave it optional and let drivers attach one when it's useful.

When a drop-off can't happen — customer unavailable, wrong address, refused — drivers can now mark the order Can't Deliver and pick a reason instead of leaving it hanging. You're notified right away, the reason lands on the order's timeline, and the order page offers the next step: assign a driver again for another attempt, or resolve it manually.

Cash orders now come with accountability built in. At every cash drop-off the driver confirms the amount collected, and each driver's running Cash on hand balance shows on your Drivers page. When they hand the cash back, click Settle cash and the balance clears — so at the end of a shift you know exactly who's holding what.

Moving an existing menu online just got much faster. Under AI Tools → Add items with AI, the new From a printed menu or price list option lets you photograph a whole printed page — a menu, a price sheet, a services list — and AI reads every item on it at once, with the prices, then turns the page into draft items for you to review. Printed sizes like S / M / L come in as selectable variants, no-price and "market price" lines are handled gracefully, and anything AI wasn't sure it read is flagged so you can glance at the page and confirm. As always, AI drafts and you approve: every item stays hidden until you enable it on your storefront. Requires the AI Kit app.

Added a second menu language after building your catalog? You no longer have to open every item. On your Catalog page, choose AI Tools → AI-translate catalog: it shows how many items are missing translations and a credit estimate, then works through your catalog item by item with a live progress counter — variant and add-on names included.

It only fills empty language slots, so translations you wrote or edited yourself are never touched, and items that are already translated cost nothing to skip past. That makes it safe to run any time — after adding a language, after a CSV import, or after a batch of new products. Stop whenever you like and run it again later; it continues right where it left off. Also in this update: translations now handle Traditional Chinese panels correctly across all AI translate buttons.

Turn a folder of product photos into a ready-to-review catalog. On your Catalog page, choose AI Tools → Add items from photos, drag in your pictures (up to 60 at a time), and each photo becomes a draft item. Click Analyze with AI and every draft gets a suggested name, summary, and description written from what's visible in the photo — with an option to enhance the photos first so the AI works from a clean image. It even suggests the right category from the ones you already have, and proposes a new one when nothing fits — at no extra credit cost.

Nothing is published on its own. You review everything in one grid: edit the suggested text, confirm or change the category (proposed new categories are only created when you save), set the price and stock, then Save all drafts. Items stay hidden from your storefront until you click Enable all on storefront, so customers never see half-finished work. Have several shots of the same product? Merge them and the extra photos become that item's gallery. Sell in more than one language? A toggle translates each saved item into your other menu languages right after saving — only the text you approved, never your hand-edited translations. You can close the tab mid-way and pick up the same batch later — your progress is saved, and drafts you never come back to are tidied away automatically after about a week.

Ring up sales straight from your phone. The WhatsMenu Vendor app now includes a full POS: browse your catalog in a grid, list, or compact layout, take dine-in, pickup, and delivery orders, and settle with cash, card, pay later, or a scan-to-pay QR code the customer pays on their own phone. Pay-later orders wait on an Open orders screen until you settle or cancel them, and receipts print on supported handheld printers. Find it in the POS tab after updating the app.

Categories can now have their own image. Open Edit category, then upload a photo or generate one with AI from the category's name and description — review it and keep it in a click. Some storefront designs show these as visual tiles customers tap to jump straight to a section, like "Desserts" or "Coloring"; designs that don't use them simply ignore the image, so it's always safe to add one. Don't want it anymore? Tick Remove image and save.

Putting QR codes on your tables just got a lot easier. Open Tables and click Print QR codes to get a print-ready PDF — a sheet of cards on a regular printer (A4 or Letter, 6 or 9 per page, with shared cut lines so one straight cut separates each), or a thermal-roll version (80mm or 58mm) with each code on its own page so a receipt printer set to cut per page separates them for you. You can customize what shows on every card too: a header and footer that can each span multiple lines (your business name and phone, or Wi-Fi name and password), the table name, and your logo — in any language, including Chinese. Print all your tables at once or just one area, and reprint a single area any time you rearrange your space.

Your storefront's cookie banner now does real consent management, not just a notice. When you turn on Cookie Consent, analytics and marketing trackers — Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and any tracking scripts you add in your template's custom head markup — stay switched off until the visitor chooses. The banner offers Accept all, Reject all, and Customize (so visitors can allow analytics but not marketing, or vice versa), and a small Cookie settings button stays on the page so anyone can change their mind later — exactly what GDPR expects. You can also add your Privacy policy URL so a "Learn more" link shows in the banner. Turn it on in Settings → Apps → Cookie Consent; to gate your own custom scripts, tick the new "contains tracking scripts" option in your template's appearance settings.

PromoCards just got more flexible. A card no longer needs an image — leave it out for a clean text card, with an optional custom background colour behind the text (pair a dark background with light text for a bold panel). And a new Join cards (no gap) group setting lets cards sit flush as a single block, with rounded corners only on the outer edges. Put a text-only card next to an image card in a 2-column group, switch it on, and you've built a landing-page-style banner — text on one side, picture on the other — right inside your storefront. Open any group or card and the new options are already there; nothing to set up.
