What's New

Recent additions and changes to Posbel, newest first.

October 2026

Posbel Admin panel

  • Vouchers issues prepaid codes your customers spend on the online ordering site: batches of up to 500 at a time, with a value, an optional expiry and an optional restriction to certain product groups, printable cards as a PDF, and a usage history showing every order a code paid for. The section appears where online ordering is switched on.
  • Ask for number of covers on the App tab makes the register ask how many guests are seated when a table is first opened.
  • A product group can now Hide name on kiosk, leaving only its image or icon on the tile.
  • Products and groups share one Catalog page in the sidebar, with a Groups view and a Products view.
  • Option lists is a new section: reusable sets of choices — sauces, cooking, ingredients to leave out — with their own minimum, maximum or forced number of picks, their own prices, and an option type that reads as a removal (No Cheese) on the register, the kitchen display and the ticket. Products pick them up through Assign options.
  • Delivery areas is a new administrator-only section: draw each zone on the map and give it its own delivery price, minimum order and free-delivery threshold, with a Priority order deciding which zone wins where they overlap.
  • Deleting records, editing or deleting a payment transaction and downloading the Z are now administrator-only, whatever abilities a user holds.
  • A group must be empty before it can be deleted — “Cannot delete a non-empty group.”
  • Accounts carry a Closed At column, beside the date they opened.
  • Allow offer and Allow bank transfer are now Allow offered payment type and Allow bank transfer payment type, and the offered setting is shown in both versions.

Posbel App

  • The login screen now opens on the saved account instead of the form: tap the card or Auto Login to sign back in without typing anything. Log into another account reveals the form, and Remove saved login makes the tablet forget the account.
  • The main menu carries a profile card showing who the tablet is signed in as, with Log out on it and a Close app button beside it.
  • Opening a table asks for the Number of covers, where your establishment has the setting on.
  • Clients are found by name as well as phone number when attaching one to an account, and the search keypad switches between letters and digits.
  • A per-product promotion stops at 100%.
  • Offered and Error are no longer offered on a payment correction, as they already were not on a refund.
  • Connection problems now read as plain messages rather than technical error text.

Online Ordering

  • Customers can pay with a Voucher: the code goes in the same field as a promo code, the balance is shown while they shop, items outside the voucher's product groups are flagged, and the order is settled from the balance.
  • A promo code that covers only part of the menu says Valid on: what it applies to, and explains itself when it stops applying because the basket changed.

September 2026

Posbel Admin panel

  • A new Interface tab on the Settings page holds your own display preferences for this browser: the Interface language, Favorite links pinned above the side menu, and Keep the side menu open.
  • Users of type Server and Register can be duplicated, carrying over their abilities, product groups, table zones, printer and KDS settings.
  • The shift statistics split GROUP, PARENT GROUP and PRODUCT into Sales, Refund, Correction and Other neg., so a low total can be explained rather than guessed at.
  • VAT by rate in Sales by product group now reports Rate, Excl. VAT, VAT and Incl. VAT per rate.

Posbel App

  • A support chat is reachable from the PIN screen, the support card and the Home Screen menu button, with a dot when support has replied. Chat on the tablet, or scan a code to carry the same conversation to your phone or to WhatsApp.
  • The promotion deduction on a ticket is now labelled with the percentage given — Discount 10% — and signed against its product line, so a refunded promoted item no longer prints a double negative.
  • A failed refund reports The refund could not be processed, please try again, and the confirm button is unavailable while the request is in flight.

August 2026

Posbel Admin panel

  • Media replaces the Images section and now holds videos as well as images, with a filter by type and a 2 MB limit per file.
  • A dedicated Icons section manages product group and allergen icons, each with a name per language.
  • The dashboard gained Last 7 / 30 / 90 days and a Custom date range, a Top Seller by Device card, and a Sales by product group section for establishments running several counters.
  • VAT tickets can be sent to a client by email or downloaded as a PDF from a closed account, for up to 48 hours after it was closed.
  • QR codes for all tables can be downloaded in one ZIP archive.
  • Product import runs through a five-step guided import with four modes, including inter-establishment duplication and updating existing products.
  • Product groups gained Manage sub-groups, Expand / Collapse all and a group search.
  • Shift statistics gained a Parent Groups breakdown, CSV export per table, and a jump from a user straight to their accounts.
  • The establishment address is now entered through an address search with suggestions.
  • Star printers can be given their model.
  • New Hide cashbox button and Groups Dashboard user abilities.
  • Order confirmation emails can be copied to you in BCC.
  • A redesigned login page and settings page, with a tooltip on every setting.

Posbel App

  • A provisional bill no longer closes the account in the Belgian SCE-certified version: orders, promotions, offers, error payments and moves all remain possible afterwards, and the summary prints without a confirmation step.
  • Error payments are available in the certified version, on the items you select and provided they are not already paid.
  • Refunds get their own account, separate from the table, and are settled by cash or card. Items that were cancelled or reversed cannot be refunded.
  • The cash drawer opens on a certified VAT print only when the account actually involved cash.
  • Compressed tickets print VAT and summary tickets in a compact layout using less paper, with no information left out. Enabled per establishment.
  • Corrected lines no longer clutter the ticket: a cancelled, re-priced or moved item and the negative line cancelling it are both left off the VAT and summary tickets, and off the digital VAT ticket PDF. Both remain fully recorded for fiscal purposes.
  • Offered payments are available in the Belgian SCE-certified version, under the usual abilities. Customer credit remains unavailable there.
  • Promotions on tickets now show the original price with the deduction underneath, carrying the same VAT label and printed at the same size as the price line.
  • Tickets are cut with a partial cut, which cuts reliably on printer models not supplied by Posbel.
  • Move several items at once to another table or account, and merge takeaway accounts from the accounts list.
  • Shifts open and close automatically in the certified version, with an email to the establishment when an automatic closing fails.
  • Portrait orientation is supported across ordering, shift management, client data and order details.
  • Failed card payments now show the message reported by the terminal.
  • Refunds can be paid out through a cash machine, creating a refund account from the items you select.
  • A payment terminal application running on the same tablet can be used.
  • Table plans work without zones, with a Plan chip on the Home screen to open them; the All tab is hidden when a single zone already covers every table.
  • Product groups show a subgroup count when they hold no products of their own, the first subgroup is selected automatically, and hidden products and groups are excluded from counters, search and the letter filter.
  • Product options at their choice limit can still be deselected.
  • The Z report can include a product-by-product section, switched on per establishment; the decrease of turnover section is printed on the X report as well, and reports the total discount granted.
  • The Open Register button can be hidden per user.

Kitchen Display

  • Cancelled items turn red with a CANCELLED chip and an alert sound plays, on the screens that show the affected products.

Kiosk

  • Disable Cash and Disable Card can now be set on a kiosk in the Belgian SCE-certified version, so a certified kiosk can run card-only.
  • An optional shop selection screen at the start of an order, for venues with several counters — showing only the shops currently open.
  • An optional buzzer number step, printed on the ticket as B followed by the number.
  • The kiosk returns to the start screen after 5 minutes of inactivity.
