Release notes for the Aloha Online Ordering hospitality product.

Version 23.1.4

Release Dates

WEA01 — October 25, 2023
SSA01 — October 25, 2023
NUA01 — November 06, 2023

New Features

• AO-25466: The Menu/SiteExclusions API response time is improved by allowing data retrieval by the SiteId.

• AO-25742: We introduced a new ‘’BoostQuickComboOverridePriceRanking’ company setting that increases the priority ranking in quick combo override pricing records by one. This ensures the override price takes precedence over the price in 'QuickComboLevelPriceChange,' as well as in all other quick combo pricing records. This company setting only affects the Quick Combo API call. When False, the price in the Menu and QuickCombo API response calls may differ.

To add the new company setting in Web Admin:

• Select Configuration > Company Settings Setup.
• Select a set for the associated site from the 'Choose Settings Set' drop-down list.
• Click Add Setting.

• AO-24682: Introduced a new ‘ValidateSubmenuTimeRestrictions’ company setting to add more enforcement for AO API customers using the ‘Submenu Time and Day Restriction’ feature. When set to True, the AO API verifies if an item is in a restricted submenu based on the promise time of the order. If it is not in compliance with the submenu time and day restriction, the API returns a “The item cannot be ordered at this time” message to the consumer. The message is the same as if the item is set as unavailable on the POS. This setting applies to AO API clients only, such as Digital Ordering and Engage Mobile customers.
