What changed, 4 to 31 October 2026

A month
of testing

Here is what we improved in the test version of your booking system this month. The test version uses test payments only, so no real money is charged.

Back to the step by step guide

WhatsApp booking

  • Understands Malay and English better, including times like 6ptg, 11pg and 8mlm.
  • Always asks which outlet first, and always asks the guest to reply Yes before a booking or cancellation is saved.
  • Smoother handover to your staff when a guest needs a person, with an alert if a guest is still waiting.

Staff dashboard

  • A new Takeaway orders page for website orders.
  • A printable A4 reservation sheet for each service.
  • Open chat in the Inbox now always opens the right guest.
  • Plain tips on every setting, prices entered in RM, and managers only see their own outlet.

Payments and deposits

  • Website guests can now pay a deposit online.
  • Refunds tested from start to finish with test payments.
  • When a guest cancels late, staff can choose to refund or keep the payment.

Behind the scenes

  • Tables and seats are let go properly when a hold runs out.
  • A booking can no longer get two pre-orders by mistake.
  • Guest phone numbers no longer show up in links.
  • Better monitoring, so we catch problems early.

Before we go live

  • One real payment test and a final round of checks. We will share the go live date once it is confirmed.
