Timeline Tab Added to Prepare Orders Page
There is now a timeline tab on the "Prepare Orders" page.
This shows all activity related to the shopping cart and purchase orders.
Note: This activity was always available under the timeline on the Dashboard, but this puts it in a more accessible place.
This helps provide a full picture of how items are added and adjusted before they end up in a purchase order. For example, if you only want orders to be placed using WISK Par numbers, this can be a way to track compliance.

Hide Setup Progress / To Do List
It is now possible to hide the Venue Setup Progress card on the Dashboard, and the To Do List in the iOS app.
If you no longer want to see these, please reach out to WISK Support or your Customer Success Manager.
Cloning Batches
If you have multiple batches with similar ingredients, you can now clone an existing batch. When cloned, you can then update the ingredients as needed. This saves you from having to build every batch from scratch.
To clone a batch, place your cursor over an item and click the arrow button that appears, and select "Clone batch" from the drop-down menu.

Toast Integration - Discount Column on Sales Page
When importing sales from Toast, if an item is sold with a discount, the price of the item adjusts accordingly for that transaction.
Previously we didn't have a quick way of seeing if a menu item had been sold with a discount.
Now when you check the Sales page, there is a "Discount" column, which shows the total dollar value of discounts for each menu item in the selected time period.
Item Timeline - Improved Title Changes
We have improved the item timeline to show the previous title of an item when it is changed. Before it only displayed the new name, which in some cases made it difficult to know the original title of the item.
To learn more about the item timeline, see:
New Inventory Permissions
We have added the following inventory permissions for users:
Show previous mode
Show item costs / inventory value
These permissions are included in the default roles (Admin, Manager and Employee).
If you don't want users to be able have access to these, you can create a custom role and remove the permission.
Show Previous Mode
When this permission is disabled, users taking inventory on both the iOS and Web won't be able to see or use the previous list.
They will need to use the barcode scanner or the search to add each item, instead of updating the counts on the previous list.
To learn more, see:
Show Item Costs / Inventory Value
When this permission is disabled, users won't be able to see the dollar value of counted items or the total value of the inventory. This applies to both the iOS and WISK Web Portal.
To learn more, see:
Accounting Integration - Tax Details System View
For venues with the accounting integration and taxes enabled, you'll now see a "Tax Details" system view on the "Invoices / Returns" page.
This adds the following info to the table:
Tax Scheme
Subtotal
Tax ($)
Sum of all charges & credits
Previously, you'd need to open each invoice individually to see this information.

Variance Report Updates
We've made a few small changes to the Variance PDF sent out when you complete an inventory.
These changes are to align it with the Variance Page on the web.
Changes include:
The data in the summary has been reordered and renamed to match the web
Theoretical Cost % now displays at the family/category and item level
WISK logo updated to match new design

Web Inventory - Batch Label
If an item was created from a batch, it is now labelled with "Batch" when viewing a completed/ongoing inventory on the web.
Centiliter (cl) added as Unit of Measurement
Centiliter has been added as a unit of measurement when creating items or adding a quantity to batches, POS Items, depletions etc.
Shopping Cart Timeline
The timeline on the Dashboard page has been updated to post all actions related to the shopping cart.
This way you can see if items were added manually, or via one of the prefill options.

Cluster Update - Import Modifiers as Separate POS Items
When configuring your Cluster integration in WISK, there is now an option to import your modifiers as Separate POS Items.
This can help reduce the amount of POS Item mapping required if your venues makes extensive use of modifiers.
To learn more, see:
Variance Page - Added Theoretical Cost %
We've added the "Theoretical Cost" to the top of the Variance Details tab.
This matches the "Overview" and "Variance" tabs, and allows you to quickly compare it to your Actual Cost (%).
This also allows you to see your Theoretical Cost between any two completed inventory counts. Previously you couldn't view this anywhere.
Note: To view the "Shrinkage Percentage", you need to click the down arrow button to expand/collapse the section.
April
Ordering - Setting Current Distributor Prices
When generating orders in WISK, the dollar value of the order is an estimate based on the cost of each item/item variation from the last received invoice.
If you have access to the latest pricing from your distributors (bid sheets, their online ordering portal, etc.) you can now set the "Current distributor price" for each item.
Note: This feature needs to be turned on by your Customer Success rep or a member of the Support team. Please reach out to them to have this activated in your venue.
This allows you to manually set a price for each item variation, along with an expiration date (how long the price is valid).
When this feature is activated, you'll see a "Current distributor price" field when viewing items / item variations.
When generating orders, the current distributor prices are used to calculate the dollar value of the order instead of the ones from the last received invoice. In the example below, it is using the current distributor price of $26/unit instead of $25/unit from the last received invoice.
If the current distributor price is expired, it defaults to the price from the last received invoice.
To learn more about this feature, please see:
Merging Item Variations
You can now merge item variations on the WISK Web Portal. This should help clean up item data if an item has duplicate variations.
Some key points:
You can only merge item variations that belong to the same item and have the same measurement
Merging item variations is permanent so make sure the variations are exact duplicates
Once merged it replaces every instance those variations were used with the resulting variation. This change only applies to unlocked inventory periods.

ChargeSavvy - Custom Sales Upload Integration
For users of ChargeSavvy POS, we now support uploading the "Sales Integration" report directly into WISK.
You can export it from ChargeSavvy, and upload it to your WISK account without having to use the WISK template.
To learn more, see:
Cluster Integration - Modifier Support
The Cluster POS integration now supports importing modifiers. This needs to be toggled on under the POS Integration in Venue Settings.
When toggled on, any modifiers for a menu / POS Item are now appended to it to create a new POS Item. This results in having more POS Items to map, but allows you to accurately track what is sold.
For example, lets say you sell an item called "Can of Pop" and there are options / modifiers to select the flavor.
With "Include modifiers" toggled off, you'll only see the base POS Item:
Since there is just the one POS Item, you can't accurately map the sale of this item to a specific flavor.
With "Include modifiers" toggled on, you'll see a separate POS Item for each option that can be mapped:

Revel Integration - Modifiers with Price of 0 Support
We have reworked our Revel integration to improve support for modifiers with a price of 0. To learn more, see:
March
Sales by Revenue Center - Toast & Omnivore
When importing sales data from Toast and Omnivore, we now pull the Revenue Center of each sale.
This makes a few things possible:
You can view Sales by Revenue Center on the "Sales" page
Note: In the example above you'll see 30 Modelo Draft were sold in the selected period, and it shows the quantity sold from each Revenue Center
You can assign Revenue Centers to your inventory areas to see:
Real-time stock per area
Variance by area
Important: To get accurate values for real-time stock and variance, you'll need to use transfers to track the movement of items in your venue.
To learn more, please see:
Offline Mode - Exiting Inventory Confirmation
If taking an inventory count in the app while offline, you will now receive a prompt if you go to exit the inventory.
This is because if you leave the inventory while offline, you won't be able to return to it until your device reconnects to the internet.
This prompt should now prevent users from exiting the inventory while offline and then being stuck from going back in.

Depletions - Sub-Units in iOS App
In February we added support for depleting sub-units on the web. This month we have added it to iOS.
When an item is brought up with the measurement type "Unit" and the measurement is greater than 1, you'll see an option to "Add Partial".
Tap this to enter the number of sub-units. In this example we want to deplete 3 eggs, which gets converted to the amount in full units (0.25). In other words, one quarter of a carton of 12 eggs.
To learn more, see:
Inventory Sheets by Area - Previous Inventory Order
For venues that prefer/need to count by pen and paper, we've added an option to the "Inventory Sheets by Area" feature that displays your items in the order they were submitted during the previous inventory.
Previously, you could only download the sheet by alphabetical order. This is intended to make it easier to add the counts into the web or app when finished.
If the item was counted multiple times in an area, the order is based on when it was first submitted. Each item tagged with an area appears only once on the sheet.
If an item is tagged with an area but wasn't counted in the previous inventory, it displays in a separate section of the sheet labelled as "Not counted last inventory"

Clover Integration - Migration to OAuth 2.0
Customers who have added their Clover integration in WISK before Mar 27th, 2025 will need to make a small change in their account to continue receiving sales data.
This is to accommodate Clover's switch from the OAuth v1 security framework to OAuth v2.
To complete the migration you will need to:
Deactivate your current integration
Add the new integration type
Note: The current OAuth v1 integration will stop working after March 31st, 2025. Please switch to the new version at your earliest convenience.
Deactivating your Current Integration
Under Venue Settings, scroll down to the POS Integrations section and click "Edit" beside your existing Clover integration
In the "POS Type" field you'll see "Clover (Old Method)". Click the "Deactivate" button on the top-right
Note: Please note if you have checked any of the boxes on the old integration because you will need to check them on the new one.
Click "OK" on the confirmation window
When deactivated, the integration will no longer try to pull new sales data. Your historical sales data remains in your account.
Adding the New Integration Type
After deactivating the existing integration, click "Add POS Integration"
In the window that opens, click the “POS Type” drop-down menu, and select Clover
Click "Save"
Note: If the window closes, click the "Edit" button beside the added Clover integration.
After adding "Clover" as your POS Type, click "Set Up".
Note: This opens Clover's login page in a new window. If nothing appears, please temporarily disable your browser's pop-up blocker and try again.
A new tab opens in your browser on the Clover Web Dashboard. type your Clover username and password and click “Log In"
If you have multiple "Merchants" in Clover, you may be prompted to select one of them. Click the merchant you want to integrate with WISK
The integration process works behind the scenes to link WISK with your Clover account. When complete, it displays the following in the browser tab:
Note: If you receive a different message, please contact WISK Support
Return to the WISK tab in your browser (you may need to refresh the browser to see the latest changes). You should see the Merchant ID field populated
You can click the checkboxes to customize how your sales data is imported and then click "Save"
Your sales data should pick-up where the previous integration left off. If you experience any issues after adding the new integration, please contact [email protected] or reach out in the chat.
iOS - Mark Purchase Order as Unable to Fulfill
Back in January, we added on the web a button to mark a purchase order as unable to fulfill by the distributor.
We have now added this functionality in the iOS app.
When viewing a purchase order on the "Orders History" page, tap the "..." button to see the "Unable to fulfill" button.
This button closes out an order without adding an invoice. This also removes any items on the order from your pending purchase orders count.

New POS Integration - Jonas Club
WISK now supports integrations with Jonas Club POS. To learn more, see:
Distributors - Customer / Account Number Field
When viewing your distributors on the web, there is a new field called "Customer / Account Number".
When sending order emails through WISK, we have received feedback that some distributors require a customer or account number to be included.
Note: This is the number assigned to you by the distributor / supplier.
Instead of entering it manually in the notes each time, you can add it in the "Customer/Account Number" field and it appears automatically.
If added, it appears when:
Inventory - Display Who Locked an Inventory on Main Tab
When viewing a locked inventory on the web, the Timeline tab displays who locked it and when.
This would be either:
manually by a user, or
it was a scheduled automatic action by the system
For added transparency, we now display this information when you open the inventory.
You can still view the full details on the Timeline tab.

Grouping and Merging on Consumption Page
The "Group" and "Merge" features are now available on the Consumption page.
No Hard Drive Space Available Message
When you access the WISK Web Portal, your venue data is saved to your browser. This is to speed up loading times, especially for larger venues.
As a result, there needs to be available space on your hard drive to get the latest data.
If you have no space on your hard drive, you'll see the following message on web.wisk.ai:
"Your device's hard drive is out of storage. New data cannot be saved or synced until space is available. This means you cannot get the latest changes and you will see inaccurate data. Please free up space and go to https://web.wisk.ai/reload. Data is saved on your device to speed up loading times."
Follow the instructions to free up space to ensure you are getting the most up-to-date data.
Depletions - Sub-Units Supported
If you have an item with the measurement type of "unit" instead of weight or volume, you can deplete sub-units if the item measurement is greater than 1.
These are typically items purchased in a package, and contain multiple units. Examples include:
Eggs in cartons
Tea bags in boxes
Bread slices, bagels or tortillas etc
For example you have Large Eggs with a measurement of 12 unit because there are 12 eggs in a carton, you can now deplete individual eggs.
When selecting the item to add it to a depletion, you'll see a "Partial" option under the "Measurement" drop-down:
When selected, you can enter the number of sub-units
To learn more, see:
Restoring Deleted POS Items
When viewing archived POS Items there is an option to delete them. Previously, this removed them from the "Archived" list, and they were no longer viewable in your venue.
The idea was that you would only delete POS Items that would never be relevant. For example, if there are food sales in your Beverage account. However, this led to issues when investigating any discrepancies in sales between the POS and what was imported into WISK.
Sometimes a permanently deleted POS Item was renamed and sold as something else, so it wasn't appearing as sold in WISK.
You can now view these deleted POS Items by toggling on the "Deleted" filter on the POS Items page.
From there you can send deleted items back to Archived, or restore them as needed.
To learn more, see:
iOS - Draft Invoices with Issues Banner
We have added a banner on the "Home" page of the app if there are draft invoices that require your review.
This matches the WISK Web Portal, and makes it clearer for users that only use the iOS app they have invoices that need their attention.
Tapping the "View" button shows all draft invoices with issues. Tapping an invoice gives more information about what needs to be fixed and how.
For more information about invoices that need review, see:
January
Depletions on Web - Add POS Items and Batches
When adding depletions on the WISK Web Portal, you now have the option to add a POS Item or Batch.
This allows you to deplete multiple ingredients at a time that are currently mapped to the POS Item or Batch.
Just click the "Add POS Item / Batch" tab and enter the name of either the POS Item or Batch.
In the search results, it displays whether it is a Batch or POS Item.
When you add a POS Item to a depletion, you must enter how many of that POS Item are being depleted and it subtracts the correct quantity of each ingredient.
When depleting a batch you can deplete the whole amount, or enter a custom measurement.
To learn more, please see:
Note: This feature is currently only available on the WISK Web Portal.
Item Variation Cost Comparison - Last Received Date
We've added a "Last Received Date" column to the system views for comparing item variation costs.
This allows you to see at a glance when that variation was last received. Previously you needed to click the cost to see the invoice history with the date.
To learn more, see:
Purchases Orders - Unable to Fulfill Button
In some cases you may place an order to a distributor that they cannot fulfill. The new "Unable to fulfill" button allows you to close out an order without adding an invoice. This also removes any items on the order from your pending purchase orders count.
When viewing the PO on the web, you can find it under Actions > Unable to Fulfill.
You will then need to confirm this action.
Note: Only use this if the distributor cannot send you anything. If they still send some of the items, add the invoice and remove any items that were not included.
Important: There are still some finishing touches for this change. When you mark it as "Unable to fulfill" the status will still show as "Received with manual invoice". Functionally the order is closed out and no stock is added to your venue. The status text will update in the near future.
Wording Updates on Dashboards
To better match industry terms, we have changed "Target Cost" to "Theoretical Cost".
Any mention of Consumption ($) is now Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).
Usage in the context of quantity rather than dollar amount is still called Consumption.
Target Cost % is now Theoretical Cost %
Consumption Cost is now Cost of Goods Sold
Show Item Values in Inventory Count
To help identify any counting or costing errors that impact your inventory value, we now display the $ value of every item submitted in an inventory count while counting.
When counting in the iOS app, when you tap "Review Item Counts", it shows the value under item. This is based on the current cost, and the amount/measurement submitted.
When counting on the WISK Web Portal, it shows the value of every submission under "Summary".
To learn more, see:
POS Items - Cost Percentage Greater than 100% Banner
To help surface POS Item mapping errors, we now show a banner at the top of the POS Items page if there are POS Items with a cost percentage higher than 100%.
This typically indicates an issue with either the:
Mapping, where the cost of the ingredients exceeds the menu price of the POS Item. For example if an ingredient is added as 1 unit instead of 1oz.
Item cost. This may be from a recently added invoice where the cost of the item was added incorrectly. For example, if the cost of a case was input as the cost of an individual unit.
Clicking the banner applies the "Cost % higher than 100%" predefined filter.
By viewing the POS Items you can determine the reason and fix as needed.
To learn more, see:
Summary Dashboard - Unmapped Sales Banner
We've added a banner message to the Summary Dashboards on the WISK Web Portal.
This displays when you have sales of unmapped POS Items in the selected inventory range.
This is meant to highlight why you may see a different sales number on this page compared to the "Sales" page.
The dashboard show sales of mapped POS Items for the selected inventory period. If you have unmapped items you will see a difference between the number here and what is on the "Sales" page. This number doesn't include sales of:
unmapped POS Items
archived POS Items
or any POS Items that contain an item that is marked as "Excluded from Variance"
For example, in an inventory period we have sales totalling $6100 on the Sales page. $5000 of those sales are mapped, and the other $1100 are not.
On the dashboard, the data reflects the $5000 worth of mapped sales, and shows there are unmapped sales. To get more accurate data, map the POS Items.
Summary Dashboard - Combined Sales & Purchases Graphs
On the Overview tab of the Dashboard, we have combined the Historical Sales and Historical Purchases line graphs into a single bar graph.
This makes it easier to compare your sales to your purchases for each inventory period.
Before
Now
When in separate graphs it was difficult to compare the values. Now you can quickly compare your sales to purchases at a glance to give a rough measure of your cash flow.

POS Integration Error Banner
If there's an issue that causes your POS integration to be temporarily halted, there is now a banner on the WISK Web Portal that directs you to our Support team.
This is in addition to the email notification that goes out. To learn more, see:
