These are Pre-Release notes with the anticipated contents of a Canary release targeted for September 23, 2026. There is potential for changes in the scope and timing of the release. We will send final release notes upon completion of the release.

Menu Manager v3.9.0

This release introduces Concurrent Sales Events, simplifies how Discounts are assigned across a venue, and adds new Display Category requirements for Items.

Enhancements

Concurrent Sales Events

Menu Manager now supports multiple Sales Events on the same day, including simultaneous events across different areas of a venue.

Sales Events can be scheduled with start and end times and assigned to specific Revenue Centers, while venue-wide events can apply across the property. Transactions are attributed to the appropriate event based on schedule and Revenue Center, supporting clearer reconciliation and new DataNow Event over Event reporting.

Price Levels currently categorize Sales Events by event type and do not change event-specific pricing. Event-specific pricing support is planned for a future release.

Knowledge Base: Use Concurrent Sales Events in Canopy Menu Manager

Simplified Discount Assignments

Discount configuration now separates Revenue Center assignment from Global Item selection.

Users can select where a Discount applies independently from which Items qualify. Items can be selected individually or by Display Category and apply across all selected Revenue Centers, reducing the setup required for broad Discount deployments.

Display Categories Required for Items

Items are now required to have a Display Category when configured through the Canopy 2.0 Menu Manager Item UI or through the External Items API.

This requirement helps prevent Items from being created without the configuration needed to display properly on the POS.

Fixes

Improved Item Assignment Navigation

Fixed an issue where selecting a Menu, Display Category, Reporting Category, or Modifier Group while creating or editing an Item caused the page to jump back to the top.

The page now remains at the current configuration section after a selection is made.

Corrected Discount Assignment Counts

Fixed an issue where the number of selected assignments displayed during Discount configuration could be inaccurate.

The assignment interface now more accurately reflects the user's current selections.

Refund! v3.9.0

This release adds support for Concurrent Sales Events transaction visibility and includes a mobile interface improvement.

Enhancements

Sales Event Transaction Visibility

Refund! now supports Sales Event attribution for transactions associated with Concurrent Sales Events.

When a transaction occurs during an active Sales Event, the applicable event information can be associated with the transaction based on its Revenue Center and event schedule. This provides additional context when reviewing transactions and supports the same event-level attribution used for DataNow reporting.

Fixes

Improved Mobile Navigation

Fixed an issue where the bottom navigation bar in Refund! could appear misaligned on certain mobile devices, including iPhone and Android phones.

Maintenance

Application Cleanup

Removed unused internal application components from Refund! to simplify the codebase and improve maintainability. This change does not affect user-facing functionality.

Quick Service POS v2.65.1

Enhancements

• There is now improved messaging on the Kiosk QR receipt screen when an order is eligible for order state updates to "SCAN FOR DIGITAL RECEIPT & ORDER STATUS UPDATES"

• Improved logout and cancellation behavior

• Improved offline and failed order handling

Ordering Web v1.77.5

Enhancements

• Enhanced sales event functionality
