Hello,
As many of you know, we are running a promotion on our cakes and pies for Mother's Day. Some stores have reached out asking how they can put their custom Mother's Day cake front and center on their store site. I put together the video below explaining exactly how you do it.
Have a great day!

Hello,
I wanted to share something that has been available for some time, but we haven't really promoted it.
If you do a lot of outside events and would love to take pre-orders this is for you. If you do delivery, and would like to take pre-orders this is for you. If you want to do online fundraisers, this is for you.
Please take a minute and watch how you can leverage the power of a Google Calendar to create your own Event Pre-Order web page.
Please reach out with any questions.

Hello,
I wanted to highlight a feature in Boss that you may or may not be aware of. You can sort your Production page by the number of Favorite Flavor subscribers you have. Watch the video below to see a demo.
Have a great day,

Hello,
It was nice seeing so many of you last week. Always nice to get re-energized!
I'm sorry for the late notice on this but...better late than never. And this only takes minutes to setup.
Please take a minute and watch the video below if you are interested in participating in the $2.22 Small Waffle Bowl OLO promo.
If you decide to go ahead with this, please let me know if you would like to offer this as a promotion (multiple redemptions). The default setting is a discount which only allows for 1 redemption.
Have a great day!

Hello,
Extras represent over 4% of all OLO sales. A very impressive number considering extras represent < 1% of in-store sales. Another reason to be pushing as many customers online as possible. Extras are 100% incremental. The one product that didn't allow for extras were the blasts. This was a challenge as we didn't have a way to distinguish between the primary add-ins vs extras. Until today!
Effective immediately, blasts now allow for "Extras" to be ordered online.
Please watch the video below for an explanation on how to configure your blasts for "Extras".
Looking forward to seeing everyone at PIP.
Thanks,
Bret & Colleen
Hello,
I wanted to take a minute and address a question we receive quite often. The question typically goes something like this. "We updated our prices in Back Office but it didn't update our menu and/or online store. Why?"
Remember that your menu and online store are driven by what you have LINKED to your menu items in Advanced Settings. For example, if you happen to LINK the Regular Waffle Bowl to a Back Office menu item called "Extra Cherry", the price of your Regular Waffle Bowl will now be whatever you have the "Extra Cherry" priced at in your Back Office.
For stores on Silver Pro or Detailed Ringing. You CANNOT link items that have pricing variations. You must link to the items that were pushed to your Back Office during initial setup. They are hidden on your POS so nothing has to change with your In-Store protocol. But we needed to push items that could have their own individual pricing. Items that DID NOT use pricing variations.
The good news is that all of your menu's and store's should already be linked properly and you don't have anything to worry about with respect to linking.
This post is about changing prices.
Your menu pricing is driven exclusively off what the price in your Back Office is. So...If you want to change your menu price of your Regular Waffle Bowl, you need to find the item that is LINKED to the Regular Waffle Bowl and change that price. Your digital menu does not understand pricing variations.
Your OLO pricing is a little different. If you want to change your OLO pricing, you must do that in Advanced Settings.
Scroll to the section of Advanced Settings where you can see all of your OLO items and their current pricing. See Image below. Update your pricing and DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE "UPDATE PRICING" button.
Hopefully, this post clears up the questions we're receiving about pricing.
There's also another very popular option that is perfectly fine. Just shoot us a note and tell us you've changed your pricing and need your menu/store updated. We're perfectly fine with that approach too.
Thanks,
Bret & Colleen
Hello,
The NCR API is currently experiencing issues. As a result, mobile Boss and Online ordering are also down. The following orders are legitimate orders and will push to the register once the API has been restored. Click on the store to see the order.
Hello,
I wanted to send out a quick reminder video on how to best close your online store in case of bad weather. Please watch the video below.
As always, reach out with questions.

Hello,
I wanted to share with everyone something that you may not be aware of. When you create an online promotion (discount), you can also include a nice popup image that highlights your promotion. Watch the video below to see what the Middletown, DE store has done.
As always, reach out with questions.

Good Morning and Happy New Year!
We've made a recent update that will impact all Silver Pro stores as well as stores using Detailed Ringing.
Effective immediately, all items purchased online that have flavor modifier groups associated with that product will print with the flavor(s) as modifiers. See the example below.
This is an important update because the kitchen printer DOES NOT print notes, which is where the flavor(s) were listed in the order receipt.
Again...This update is only applicable for those stores on Silver Pro or Detailed Ringing.
Have a great day and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Bret & Colleen
