@tranguyen, related to item #3 (View Wage & Labor Cost Permission), is there a planned feature that will allow us to share the real-time labor percentage with employees? It's critical information that helps them decide whether to send people home early. It's not possible to give our team this data currently without giving them 90+ days of sales data.

The UI when riniging up a customer has some issues.
Please help if this is a user error and there are settings for changing this UI.

When customers insert a card the info pulled is last name / frist name which is not preferred

Please make options for this to be changed or go back to first / last name, calling someone with last name is not desired when calling out orders.

Same window case scenario the "next button" get overlapped by the keyboard buttons and the keys hence not seeing what the blue large button is saying (the text of that button)

how does this UI error like this blunder passes through the system of QC is baffeling.

Is this is hardward issue?
Will there be other updates?
Software issue?

Very dissapointing...
