What’s new at Selflane

See what your restaurant can do now that it couldn’t do last month. Each month lists the biggest additions that are already live, newest first, back to January 2026. For every POS change by version, see the POS changelog.

October 2026

POS

  • 86 dishes and choices from the counter. Staff can mark dishes, modifier groups, and single choices unavailable or available again from the 86 Items screen, with a manager’s approval. Unavailable dishes are grayed out on the menu, so nobody rings up something the kitchen can’t make. Daily limits and 86’ed dishes
  • Redeem visit rewards at checkout. If your Member Program counts visits, the POS shows each member’s visit balance and redeems visit rewards at payment. Receipts now print the member’s loyalty details too. Member Program on the POS
  • Book Third-Party Delivery from the POS. When you create a Delivery order, you can send it with a Third-Party Delivery courier, such as DoorDash Drive or Uber Direct, instead of your own driver. The courier fee comes from your prepaid account, not the customer’s bill, and the courier’s status shows on the order. You can also change an online Pick Up order to Delivery after a manager approves. Courier delivery

See the POS changelog for every change in versions 7.7.1–7.8.3.

Back Office

  • Get help without leaving the page. Click the ? button at the top of the Back Office to write to Selflane, attach screenshots, and follow replies in a side panel. Every page also has an Ask button next to its title. Many questions get an instant answer from our help articles, and a person takes over when you need one. Support
  • Mark a modifier choice as included. In the Back Office, mark a choice as part of the dish, such as scallions. If a guest removes it, kitchen tickets, receipts, and displays print No Scallions. The old Default checkbox is now called Pre-select. Modifiers

Online ordering

  • Ask to-go customers about utensils. Turn on Ask About Utensils in your Back Office online settings and online checkout shows an Include utensils checkbox for Pick Up, delivery, curbside, and Drive-Thru orders. Staff can record the answer on the POS too, and it prints on the kitchen ticket.
  • Let customers search your menu. Customers can search your menu by dish name or description. On phones, they can open the full category list and jump straight to one.
  • Gift cards that look like your restaurant. Gift cards now carry your dish photo, logo, and color. Recipients open an animated envelope that reveals the card and the sender’s message, then see your photos and an order button. Gift cards
  • Charge for extras on Apple Pay and Google Pay orders. You can now use Adjust Price on online orders paid with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Link. If the card can’t be charged, the customer gets an email and text with a link to pay for the extras. Order detail

Restaurant websites

  • Set up your website and domain yourself. In the Back Office, set up a full website on your own domain, an ordering link such as order.yourdomain.com, or a free yourname.selflane.com address. You see the exact DNS records to add, can check that each one is connected, and can email them to whoever manages your domain. With Website Hosting, you can register a .com or .net at no extra cost, or let Selflane manage the DNS for a domain you own. Connect your domain
  • Get better private event inquiries. Your Private Events form now offers event types, start times within your hours, a guest count, and an optional budget, and ends with your own thank-you message. You choose which fields are required and set a minimum group size. Requests show the budget, end time, and which ad or campaign brought the guest. You can also add a header image to the page. Requests

Selflane Hub

  • Use more card readers on your kiosk. The kiosk can now take cards on a Stripe reader over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, such as the S700 or WisePOS E, or on a PAX terminal. It reconnects on its own after a drop. If you run dual pricing or a card surcharge, the kiosk charges the card price, the same as your POS. Kiosk hardware
  • A kiosk that looks like yours and only shows what you can make. The kiosk’s top bar shows your logo and name instead of Selflane’s. Sold-out dishes and empty menus are hidden, and sold-out modifier choices can’t be picked. Selflane Hub

Displays

  • Show kitchen names, menu names, or both. Set the KDS and the Prep Display each to show items by menu name, kitchen name, or both. Your kitchen can read a second language while expo stays in English. Display settings
  • Pack a side on its own. Staff can pack a side, such as a salad or soup set to show separately, from the Prep Display without the main dish. With Packing clears the kitchen on, packing it also clears it from the KDS. Prep Display

September 2026

POS

  • Let guests pay at the table with a QR code. Turn on QR Pay in your POS payment settings, and eligible unpaid dine-in checks print a QR code. Guests scan it, add a tip, and pay by card or wallet on their phone, with no card reader. If a check was lost, open the order in the Back Office to show its code. Orders
  • Settle cash at clock-out and track the drawer. Servers can settle the day’s cash and review their tip share from the server report. Managers can drop cash to the safe, reverse a pay in or pay out, and see the drawer’s state on its own screen. Set it up under Cash drawer in the Back Office, and review drawers and sessions in Pay In/Out. Review Settle
  • Let customers tip on the PAX terminal. Turn on Tip Entered on PAX Terminal for a register, and customers add their tip on the terminal instead of the iPad. Payment settings

Displays

  • Hear and see new work arrive. Your Kitchen Display and Prep Display can chime when new orders or added items arrive, with a choice of Chime, Bell, or Beep. A badge shows when new tickets land off screen. Behind-schedule warnings now use times you set and show in color. Displays also come in Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese. Language and sound
  • Clearer tickets for each station. Items added to an order later can arrive as their own ticket or below a NEW ITEMS line. Dine In tickets show the party size and each dish’s seat.

  • Catch kitchen tickets that didn’t print. When the POS can’t confirm a kitchen ticket printed, it appears in the Printer Job Queue. Check the printer, then resend the ticket or mark it fine. Turn this on with Unconfirmed Ticket Alerts. POS settings
  • Clearer card reader help. When a card is declined or a reader stops responding, the POS tells staff what to do next. Tips above the amount held on the card now work on every order type with a Stripe reader.

Each prep row shows what the kitchen has finished, plus the dish’s note and how long it has waited. If you like, packing an item also clears it from the kitchen. Prep Display
  • Start Pick Up and delivery orders on time. Set a lead time for Pick Up and delivery, and those orders move up on your displays by that much. Either display can also bump an order to the front.
