Improved Focus on Your Menu Images for Meraki App

Tired of item details cluttering your dish photos? We've tailored the latest update of our Meraki App to specifically enhance the visual impact of your menu. 

Now, all text and icons are positioned below your menu images, ensuring nothing restricts the view of your dishes. A new gradient background also improves visibility of the navigation button.

We've also fine-tuned the spacing around your menu details for a cleaner, more readable layout. This update not only makes your menu more attractive but also simplifies the browsing and ordering process for your customers.

These enhancements are updated and available by default in your Meraki App!

Now You Can Enable/Disable Your Register to Simplify Billing Experience

Ever felt that your POS system is slowing you down with unnecessary steps? With your feedback in mind, we've simplified the workflow to save you time and hassle.

Our latest update now allows you to enable or disable your register workflow on Prime POS, based on your daily business needs, especially enhancing the experience for cashiers who do not require a formal register opening and closing process.

Here’s how this can help:

  • Streamlined Experience: Jump straight to selling with a click on “Sell” — no need to bother with register steps.
  • Business-Level Control: Manage your register settings at the business level, allowing consistent operations across all locations.
  • Smart Location Selection: Automatically picks up your last used location, making repeated logins a breeze.
  • End-of-Day Warning: A notification pops up 30 minutes before closing time, reminding you to finalise transactions.
  • Simplified Cash Management: Registers open with zero balance and unsettled bills are forcefully settled in cash at the end of the business day.

Getting started is easy, update your Prime dashboard. Head over to Company Admin → Settings → POS in your Prime dashboard. Here, you can easily switch between enabling or disabling the register workflow depending on what suits your business best.

This update is now available for all our restaurant partners in India.

Holiday Scheduling Simplified

Holiday Scheduling Simplified by UrbanPiper

Managing closures during holidays can be a headache, especially across multiple restaurant locations. We've upgraded our holiday scheduling feature to streamline this essential task.

What's New?

  • Simplified View: We've cleaned up the schedule list view by removing unnecessary columns, making it easier for you to oversee schedules.
  • Primary Location Association: With the new 'All Brands' default setting, a schedule established at the primary location now automatically applies to all associated brands.

These updates simplify managing holiday hours, helping you maintain good relations with delivery service providers without the hassle.

To start using the new features, just head to the Schedules section on your Atlas dashboard. 

This update is now available for all our restaurant partners in UK.
