| The PAR (Periodic Automatic Replacement) value that is set in the Store Order Guide Setup helps to ensure that a manager orders the correct amount.

Defaults to the last cycle | In response to feedback, date and cycle selection is easier and more error-proof through use of visual indicators and cycle enforcement.

Rate blending, specific formulas, and custom/dynamic export configurations may vary. | Many of our clients prefer employee hours only per store and opt to have payroll overtime calculations done by a third-party payroll provider. The new configuration allows for overtime to be calculated in-site, lending to more visibility in labor costs. Reach out to your Decision Logic Account Manager for more information! | Live |
Everyone | Hot IvA reporting now includes prepped items regardless of whether their ingredients are marked for Hot Inventory. | The raw, base ingredients are sometimes not inventoried at all.

End of Day users | Re-running POS tasks will not clear user-entered Paid-ins and Paid-outs.
