March 17th was already a date of note in my calendar, it was the date that my father’s mother passed away. Other circumstances intertwined with this sad event and probably secured the fledgling application that became Kobas. That is a story for another time, but the date now has another annual reminder set for me, […]
This time last month, we were delighted to announce our answer to the government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme. With just one final day of the scheme to run, we’re even more delighted to announce a new feature that will allow our clients, having seen the scheme to be a huge success, to run […]
There was great news for the industry when the government announced its new “Eat Out to Help Out” scheme for August 2020. This month will see participating venues offer diners a 50% discount on non-alcohol items, capped at £10 a head, Monday to Wednesday, subsidised by the Treasury. Promoting bums on seats in the quieter […]
We are pleased to announce a great new feature supporting Take Away and Delivery businesses. Kobas EPoS now supports Order Tracking, which allows orders to be marked as In Preparation, then Ready and finally Dispatched. Orders placed on a till or using our online ordering partner Preoday will appear in the “Preparation” section, which will […]
As we move out of the coldest month, thoughts turn to warm summer days with a cold drink in hand. For Kobas clients, this means more customers coming to enjoy the drinks you offer – and whether there’s a beer garden or they wander off to enjoy the sun, it can be challenging to keep […]
Cash continues to fall from favour across the UK economy as a whole, and the hospitality sector is no exception. Cash now accounts for only 20% of takings in the average Kobas venue, down from 38% in 2016. The advantages are clear: less chance of violent robbery, reduced chance of theft from disgruntled employees, no […]
Some background on user identification Kobas EPoS has always required users to log in using a four digit PIN. This method of authentication was chosen because it was ubiquitous. Any device, from an iPad to a giant touch screen, can support PIN authentication. We have recognised though that PINs are a compromise position, both in […]
In early February, your Kobas EPoS Admin menu will be changing just a little. We know how jarring changes can be, so wanted to alert our followers that this is coming! What is changing? The buttons you use to Log Stock Usage, Log Special Order and Refund are moving into the “This Session” section at […]
Today sees the release of a completely new EPoS Menu Layout Manager, and we’re happy to say that it is going to make the lives of anyone managing menus a lot quicker, easier, and simpler. We have completely overhauled the user interface of this page and this means that we’ve been able to add a […]
We’ve made some improvements to our VAT receipts. Now they’re clearer, neater and more informative! The VAT summary on your receipts will, once this is released this week, be broken down by tax rate. Each tax rate will have columns that display the Tax Rate Percentage, and amounts allocated to Net Total, Tax Total and […]
Voids, Table Moves and Reprints – Keep the Kitchen in the Loop Mistakes happen, and people change their minds. An order can be added to the wrong tab, a group of people can choose to move from one table to another, an extra item could be accidentally added to an order, or a customer can […]
*Although this feature is now available for all clients, you will need to have table names enabled in order to make use of it, please contact our Support team so that we can get it set up for you. We’ve had a busy couple of months at Kobas with a few releases! Today, we’re delighted […]
