Your collected reviews can now appear on your storefront. Turn on Show reviews on your storefront in the Reviews settings and visitors see a section below your catalogue with your overall rating, the one-to-five spread, and your most recent reviews — your replies shown underneath them. Nothing publishes until you've collected enough to be worth showing, three reviews by default, and hidden reviews stay out of both the list and the average. Only first names appear, never a full name or contact details. Your rating is also published in a format search engines read, so Google can show stars beneath your storefront in search results.

Paste your Google review link into the Reviews settings and a customer who rates you four or five stars is offered a one-tap link to post the same review on Google, right after they submit. It's the quickest way to turn the reviews you're already collecting into the ones new customers see when they search for you. Customers who rate you one to three stars aren't shown the link — they've told you something went wrong, and the useful next step is you reading it and replying. Nothing is hidden or filtered either way: every rating still counts towards your average and still appears on your storefront.

Once an order is delivered or closed, customers can rate it and leave a comment. A "How was your order?" card appears on the order status page they already use to track it, an invitation goes out by email if you have customer emails switched on, and a {REVIEW_LINK} placeholder lets you drop the link into a WhatsApp message you send by hand. Customers who checked out as guests can review too — no account needed. Everything lands in Apps > Reviews, where you'll see your rating, the spread across one to five stars, and how many reviews are waiting on a reply. You can answer any review publicly, hide one that's abusive, and set how long customers may change their mind — seven days by default.

We went through every part of WhatsMenu that depends on the clock and made sure it all runs on your store's time zone, precisely. Coupons now work through the whole of their last day, and happy-hour windows and day-of-week rules kick in at your local time. Scheduled promotions — carousel slides, announcements, popups and promo cards — go live and expire at exactly the time you set. Daily order limits count orders against the day the customer scheduled them for, menus that change by time of day switch over on your clock, and the order status page shows customers times in your local time. If you spot a date or time anywhere that looks off, it should be a thing of the past.

Leaving the WhatsApp number blank in Settings → Messaging now switches WhatsApp off properly: enquiry buttons, order sharing and new order alerts all stop with it, so nothing is sent to a number you no longer use. If you had previously entered 000000000 to disable it, that still counts as off and you don't need to change anything.

We fixed an issue where emptying your business address, customer hotline or WhatsApp number in Settings did nothing — the page said it saved, but the old value came back. Clearing any of these fields now removes it properly, and entering a new value still works as before.

An add-on adds to the price — extra sauce, a bigger size. That works until you need to count sizes separately in your storeroom, give one its own photo, or set a price that isn't just the base plus a bit. Open an item's Add-ons menu and choose Convert to variants: pick the groups you count separately, and each combination becomes a variant with its own price, stock, photo and barcode. Prices carry over from what each add-on already added, so nothing needs retyping. You can convert them back later, though that removes the variants and anything you set on them. On the Variants card you'll also find Generate missing variants, which fills in every combination that doesn't have one yet at your item price — handy when you want to price and stock each one properly. Turning variants on is automatic now: add a variant group and the item sells variants, remove the last one and it stops.

The groups you set up on an item now appear on your storefront. Each group shows its own heading with its rule beside it, so customers can see at a glance whether they're picking one or several. A group set to pick one behaves that way — choosing a size swaps the previous choice instead of adding to it — and if a group is required, or has a limit on how many add-ons or how much total quantity, the customer is told right under that group's name rather than in one long list at the top. Those rules are checked again when the order is placed, so a group you mark required is one you can count on. Your order records got clearer too: when a choice only makes sense with its group name, like a size, receipts and kitchen tickets now read "Size: Large" instead of just "Large".

Option names now appear exactly as you typed them everywhere a customer or your team sees them — carts, order confirmations, printed tickets, the kitchen display, reports and your product feed. Where a size once showed up as "Extra-large", it now reads "Extra Large". Changes to your variants reach your storefront right away too: add a combination, add a value to a group like Size, or remove one, and customers see it on their next visit instead of waiting for the menu to refresh on its own. Add-ons you've limited to specific variants also stay limited to those variants now.

Stock is counted per combination, so a combination only has a stock figure once it exists. If your item creates combinations on demand, there's nothing to count against — and until now the setting could be switched on anyway, which looked like stock was being tracked when it wasn't. Turning it on in that situation is no longer possible, and any item already set up that way now shows a note on its edit page with a link to create the combinations. Once they exist, each one carries its own stock, price and photo.

Add-ons can now be organised into named groups on an item — a Size group, a Sauce group, an Extras group — instead of one long list. Each group decides how customers choose from it: exactly one, or as many as they like, with limits on how many add-ons and on the total quantity, and you can mark a group as something the customer has to choose before ordering. Your existing add-ons have already been placed into a group for you, keeping the title and limits you had set, so nothing looks different until you split them up. Add more groups from the item page, drag to reorder them, and pick a group when you add or edit an add-on. Deleting a group never deletes its add-ons; they simply go back to being ungrouped. Your storefront is unchanged for now — groups start shaping what customers see in an upcoming update.

Changes you make to an item's add-ons now reach your storefront and counter immediately. Turning an add-on off hides it from customers straight away instead of leaving it on the menu until they tried to order it, editing a name or price updates what customers see on the next page load, and the order you drag your add-ons into is the order they appear in. Adding a new add-on now places it at the end of the list where you'd expect it, rather than jumping to the top.

If your printed menu or catalogue shows a photo beside each item, the menu import can now pick those up as well. Tick Also extract item photos from the page when you start an import, and every photo the AI finds appears in the review step as a small preview on its row. Click a preview to see it full size, accept the ones that look right — or take them all with Use all photos — and they become the items' storefront photos: real photos of your real products, cut straight from your page and automatically cleaned up (print texture smoothed, sharpened, sized for your storefront). Nothing is attached without your say-so, and text-only menus work exactly as before. Requires the AI Kit app.

The Reservations panel has a new Team tab. Each team member gets their own column for the day — working hours shown open, time off struck through, and every booking drawn as a block on the timeline, with an extra column for bookings not yet assigned to anyone. Fully booked at 2pm but Ben's free at 3? One glance answers it. Pending bookings are clickable right on the timeline, so you can confirm and assign them without switching tabs. The tab appears automatically once any of your services is performed by specific staff members.

Your customers' booking form got a polish. Party size is now a row of tappable buttons (1–6, plus "7+" for larger groups) instead of a dropdown — quicker on a phone. When a service is performed by specific staff, the service and staff pickers sit side by side, and the form asks for an email only when that's the only way you've set up to reach customers (if you notify by WhatsApp, email stays optional). Emails are also checked for typos and throwaway addresses as they're entered, so confirmations actually land.

Your services and team can now appear as browsable cards on your storefront — a customer taps a service (or a specific team member) and lands on a clean booking page with it already selected, ready to pick a time. You control where the cards sit (above your items, below them, or hidden) and can add a photo to each service and each team member so the page feels like yours; team photos show as round avatars, and anything without a picture falls back to a tidy initials badge. There's also a dedicated, shareable booking page with its own link and QR code — find it under More → Share booking page — so you can drop "book here" into a bio, a message, or a printed sign, and customers can book without opening your full storefront. Everything follows your storefront's colours and layout automatically.

Book-by-staff-member just got smarter. Under Reservations → More → Staff schedules, each team member can now have their own weekly working hours — including split shifts with a midday break — so a stylist who works Tuesday to Saturday is never offered for a Monday appointment. Add time off for vacations or a half-day out, and new bookings for that person are blocked while existing ones stay put for you to move. Anyone without a custom schedule simply follows your business hours, like before.

Two team upgrades on the Reservations panel. A new team member filter shows just one person's bookings across every tab — one click to see Ana's whole day, or everything still unassigned. And the confirm dialog now includes a staff picker, so you can hand a booking to a different person (or assign one that came in without) right as you confirm it. WhatsMenu checks their calendar first and warns you if they already have a booking or time off at that moment, so a reassignment can never create a double-booking.

Reservations grew a lot of settings lately, so they now have a proper home. Open More → Settings at the top of the Reservations panel for a dedicated settings page with everything grouped by topic — storefront booking, time slots, notifications, customer self-service, and no-shows — instead of one long list. Services moved out of the sidebar too: you'll find it in the same More menu. And where a notification costs credits (like the WhatsApp alert when a new booking arrives), the setting now says so upfront.

The multi-stylist upgrade is here. Open any service and turn on performed by a specific staff member, then tick who on your team does it — customers booking that service now pick their person (or "No preference", and WhatsMenu assigns whoever's free, spreading bookings evenly across the team). Every staff member gets their own calendar: booking Ana at 2:00 never blocks Ben's 2:00. Confirmations, reminders and the customer's manage-booking link all say who the appointment is with, rescheduling stays with the same person, and the panel card shows the assignment at a glance.
