Updates
What we've been shipping.
Product news and milestones as we build. No fluff, just what actually changed.
- Product
Passwords go private
Nobody but you ever sets or sees your password: invites and resets end on a private set-password screen, every first sign-in requires choosing a fresh password, and self-serve reset covers every account, owners and staff alike.
- Milestone
Approved by Apple
The Ordr Ring app passed App Store review on our first submission. It launches with our next release.
- Product
Money that reconciles
Every payment now lands on one settlement spine, so each dollar is counted once and collected once and a paid order is never charged again at close-out. Table checks and splits, coming soon with our iPhone and iPad app, use the same spine. Proven on a live order before it shipped.
- Product
Operating hours, told honestly
Owners set their weekly schedule - overnight hours and split shifts included - and every surface tells the truth about open and closed. Ordering pauses while the kitchen is closed and says exactly when it opens next.
- Milestone
First App Store submission
The Ordr Ring app went to Apple for review - the staff side of the platform, packaged and submitted for the first time.
- Product
One modifier library, no more duplicates
Option groups now live in one place on the web dashboard. Edit a group once and it updates every item that uses it, merge accidental duplicates with a confirm that shows exactly what changes, and every price edit shows before and after. Nothing moves silently.
- Product
Allergen honesty, everywhere
Canonical allergen tags now flow from the menu you manage to the public guide and the ordering page, where diners can hide dishes by allergen. One rule underneath it all: missing information is never treated as safe.
- Product
The Feed
The guide's front page got a redesign. Trending is computed from real ordering activity, and if a number is on the page, it's real. Nothing is decoration.
- Product
Photograph a menu, get a live one
Snap a paper menu or upload the PDF, and the scanner drafts your whole menu (items, prices, modifiers, dietary marks) for you to review before anything goes live. Re-scanning folds changes in instead of creating duplicates.
- Product
Sessions you can see
Your account page lists every signed-in device with a readable label ("Owner Portal · Chrome on Windows") and one-tap sign-out. Google and Apple sign-in landed too, with email-confirmed account linking.
- Product
Run the booking day from the web
Services businesses get a schedule view on the dashboard: the whole day at a glance, walk-ins, and phone bookings with proper cancellation.
- Product
Owner dashboard on the web
Owners can now manage their menu, staff, floor, and analytics from a laptop. Building a full menu on a big screen is a different world.
- Product
Station routing & business types
Orders now route to the right station: kitchen, bar, drinks counter. Clearing each station's queue comes with our iPhone and iPad app, coming soon.
- Milestone
Real-time order sync, end to end
Orders sync in real time over Socket.io: the web dashboard's live orders update without polling or refresh. Servers firing from their phones to the kitchen comes with our iPhone and iPad app, coming soon.
- Beta
Austin closed beta is open
We started onboarding our first independent restaurants in Austin. During beta, no Ordr Ring fees. Stripe processing fees apply. A direct line to the team.
