2022


December

In December, the team worked on various bug fixes, minor UI updates and performance improvements for several POS integrations.

Draft Invoices - Save Button

When processing draft invoices, there is now a "Save" button for each line item. After adding information or editing a field, you must click "Save" to commit the changes.

After clicking "Save", the subtotal and total recalculates.

Perfect Blend 2.0 Scale Fix

There was an issue that sometimes caused the WISK app to display a negative weight when an item was placed on this scale. Our team has fixed the issue and it should no longer occur.

If you encounter an issue with any supported Bluetooth scale, please contact [email protected].

WISK Platform Improvements Update

Based on feedback we've received from the venues on the new database, we're moving forward with migrating more venues.

The expectation is to have all existing venues on the new database by the end of Q1.

The change will be behind the scenes, and won't affect your data. Once migrated, you should experience faster load times when using the WISK Web Portal.

As always, if you experience any issues with the speed of the platform, or information updating, please contact us at [email protected], or reach out in the chat.


November

November brought assorted bug fixes and POS integration refinements along with the following updates.

iOS 12 No Longer Compatible

On Dec 23, 2022, we'll be releasing an update to the iOS app and it'll no longer function on iOS 12.

After that date, WISK will only be supported on iOS 13 or higher.

If your device supports iOS 13 or higher, we recommend updating the OS before then.

If your device isn't compatible with iOS 13, you'll need to upgrade your hardware.

Please see here for a full list of iOS 13 supported devices.

Our Supported Hardware page also has recommendations for new devices.

New Supported Bluetooth Scale

We've added a new scale that is compatible with the WISK app. To learn more, see:

POS Item Ingredient Copy Improvements

Based on user feedback, we've modified the POS Item ingredient copy function to make it clearer. When you search for a POS Item to copy ingredients from, we show the number of ingredients mapped to it.

After selecting the item, it shows exactly what'll be copied into the item.

WISK Platform Improvements Update

Select venues are now on the new database. Based on feedback and performance data we've collected, we're continuing to make adjustments to improve the speed of the platform.

When ready to deploy to all venues, we'll perform a staggered rollout in Q1 of 2023.

As always, if you experience any issues with the speed of the platform, or information updating, please contact us at [email protected], or reach out in the chat.


October

This month the team worked on various bug fixes and performance improvements for several POS integrations.

Toast POS Modifiers Update

For users with a Toast POS Integration, you can now choose to import your modifiers as separate POS Items. To learn more, see:

WISK Platform Improvements Update

Our work to improve the performance of the platform continued this month. We have completed most of the prep-work to begin migrating databases.

We'll begin with a select group of venues for testing before rolling out to all venues.

As always, if you experience any issues with the speed of the platform, or information updating, please contact us at [email protected], or reach out in the chat.


September

Draft Invoice Improvements

For processing draft invoices, we've added a few quality of life improvements to help speed up the process.

Highlighted Items

When you place your cursor over the invoice on the left-hand side, it highlights areas where the character recognition software pulled information.

Click the highlighted section of the invoice to see the corresponding line on the draft invoice:

Cursor Type Toggle

When viewing the invoice on the left-hand side, you can choose between two different cursors:

  • Arrow Cursor - Allows you to click the highlighted elements on the draft invoice. Scrolling on the mouse / trackpad moves the invoice up and down. To zoom you can choose the % selector, or the magnifying glass buttons.

  • Hand Cursor - Click and drag to position the invoice image. Scrolling on the mouse / trackpad zooms in and out.

Resend Independent Inventory Reports

If you complete an independent inventory and don't receive an email with your report, you can now re-send the email from the WISK Web Portal.

  1. Go to Inventories > Independent Inventories

  2. Select the independent inventory group

  3. Click the details button beside a completed independent inventory

  4. Click Actions > Email Reports (Inventory / Consumption / Variance)

The actions button is highlighted and an arrow points to "Email Reports (Inventory/Consumption/Variance)"

WISK Platform Improvements Update

While improving the performance of the platform is always a work in progress, we are nearing the end of our latest push.

In the coming weeks, we'll be migrating databases. The new database will provide faster load times for venues with large numbers of items.

As always, if you experience any issues with the speed of the platform, or information updating, please contact us at [email protected], or reach out in the chat.


August

WISK Platform Improvements Update

Our team has been hard at work to optimize performance on the platform. We've made improvements this month, and the project is still in progress.

Venues with a large number of items and POS Items should experience faster loading times on the WISK Web Portal, and there should be fewer delays during peak activity periods.

If you experience any issues with the speed of the platform, or information updating, please contact us at [email protected], or reach out in the chat.

Website Redesign

As you may have seen, we've rolled out some changes to the interface of web.wisk.ai. We've updated the fonts, colors, and buttons on a number of pages.

We've also improved the layout of the Draft Invoices screen.

WISK Platform Improvements

This month we refined our POS and Accounting integrations to increase their reliability.

We're also aware of performance issues during peak activity periods on the platform. Performance is our #1 priority, and we're upgrading our infrastructure to fix slowdowns.

We'll provide more information in a later update.

If you have any questions, or concerns, please contact us at [email protected].

Accounting Integration - Taxes

Feature Category: Accounting Integration

Plan: Professional and higher

As part of the Accounting Integration package, you can now create taxes, set the rate, and assign them to items on invoices. This allows you to track the amount of taxes you’ve paid on any purchases/product coming into your venue.

Depending on the supplier, the prices on their invoices may be tax inclusive or tax exclusive. By setting the tax rates and indicating how the tax is presented, you'll get the true item cost for reporting purposes.
