  1. Business Dashboard

    Minimum orders and cashier cash collection

    • Set a minimum order amount separately for pickup and table delivery, so each service mode has the floor that makes sense for it.
    • New cashier cash collection: match an in-person cash payment to the right online order with a short validation code, cutting mix-ups at the counter.
  2. Business Dashboard

    A refreshed look with improved dark mode

    • Your dashboard got a refreshed, more consistent design, so everything from your daily numbers to your settings looks cleaner and easier to scan.
    • Improved dark mode: better contrast and color throughout, so the dashboard reads comfortably whether you work in light or dark mode.
    • Performance and reliability improvements across the dashboard.
  3. Customer App

    Your cafe in your language, plus instant ordering

    • Filipino menus: when a cafe writes its menu in Filipino (Tagalog), you'll now see it that way. Switch between English and Filipino anytime from your Profile.
    • Faster first order: at participating cafes you can scan the QR and place a quick cash order in seconds, right from the camera, with no full app install needed.
    • Performance and reliability improvements across browsing and checkout.

    • Your dashboard overview got a cleaner, more compact redesign, so the numbers you check every morning are easier to scan at a glance.
    • Today's Orders and Today's Revenue now show how they compare to yesterday, so you can spot the trend without doing the math.
    • A new Customers by Source panel shows where today's customers came from — your website, the app, and your counter — with an iPhone-vs-Android breakdown that fills in as customers move to the latest version of the app.

    Refund visibility for cancelled orders

    • If an order you already paid for is cancelled, you now see that a refund is on the way, both in the app and as a guest checking your order status.
    • Cafe owners can record a money-return against a refunded order from the dashboard, so every refund is tracked end to end.
    • We also refreshed the nom404.com website, including the home, for-business, and roadmap pages.
  6. Customer AppBusiness Dashboard

    Hot vs Iced pricing and a clearer payment step

    • Cafes can now charge different prices for hot and iced drinks, and you see the right price the moment you pick a temperature, with the cart total always matching.
