Release Notes
What's new in the CerebraQ Restaurant POS apps for Windows and Android. The Windows app tells you when an update is ready; on Android, install the latest app from the download page.
Version 1.0.12 Latest 30 October 2026
New
- Safe paid-bill deletion — an owner or manager can hide a paid bill from normal history with a reason and approval. The invoice row and audit record remain protected, and ERP-linked or refunded bills must use the existing void/refund process.
- Android Trial Mode — try POS, Waiter, Kitchen and Owner on a sample restaurant with no account or license. Tap “Try all features free” on the first screen. Your real data is never touched.
- Extra tables — restaurants that need more tables than their plan includes, for example to split tables when it is crowded, can now have extra tables added to their license.
Fixed
- Android bottom buttons — the phone's on-screen navigation buttons no longer cover text and buttons at the bottom of the app.
- Dine-in GST — a customer GSTIN no longer switches a dine-in restaurant bill to IGST by itself. Tax treatment is protected consistently online and offline.
- Offline staff access — refreshing the Windows staff list no longer removes previously verified password hashes, and disabled Android staff identities are revalidated when the device reconnects.
Version 1.0.11 27 October 2026
New
- Verified offline staff sign-in — Go Plus, Pro and Enterprise staff can sign in during a temporary internet outage after their credentials have been successfully verified online. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes on the device.
Version 1.0.10 23 October 2026
New
- Marathi and Hindi everywhere — every screen on the PC and the phone now comes in English, हिन्दी and मराठी. Change it from the language name at the bottom of the sidebar or Settings → Language (PC), or Settings → Language (phone). Each staff member can pick their own language on their device. Bills and KOTs still print in English.
- KOT printing — turn on Print KOT automatically in Billing (PC) or Settings → Printer (phone). A kitchen ticket prints on Send to Kitchen, and with takeaway bills for items not sent yet. Use the bill printer or a separate kitchen printer, 80 mm or 58 mm. Reprint any ticket from the kitchen queue.
- Tutorial Mode on PC and phone — practise on a sample restaurant in a separate window that never touches your real bills, menu or settings. On the phone, practise Counter POS, Waiter, Kitchen and Owner, with step-by-step guidance or Auto-play for recording training videos. PC: Tutorial Mode on the sign-in screen. Phone: Try a demo first on setup, or Settings → Tutorial.
- Service charge, packaging and tips — optional service charge (staff can remove it on any bill), packaging per item or per takeaway bill, and tips recorded at payment (never taxed). Set them in Billing.
- Business customers and IGST — add a customer GSTIN to a bill; customers from another state are billed IGST automatically.
- Split payment, void and refund — take part cash and part UPI or card on one bill; void or refund a bill with a manager's approval, and every change is recorded.
- CerebraQ ERP connection (Go Plus, Pro, Enterprise) — every bill goes to your CerebraQ ERP books by itself, and stock follows the ERP. Billing keeps working when the ERP can't be reached.
Fixed
- Kitchen queue — table orders no longer show as “Takeaway”, and the queue appears straight away instead of after several seconds. A refresh button was added.
Version 1.0.9 18 October 2026
Fixed
- Paid items coming back in POS (Windows) — after taking payment for a takeaway bill, leaving the POS screen and coming back could show the same items again. The POS now always opens empty after a bill is paid.
Version 1.0.8 2 October 2026
New
- Moving from other software or a bill book? In Billing (PC) and Shop & Bill Details (phone), a new Bill numbers section lets you enter the number of your last bill. Your next bill here continues right after it. The number can only be raised later, never lowered, so a bill number is never repeated.
- Bill number style — choose how bills are numbered: prefix + year + number (INV-2026-01246), prefix + number (INV-1246) or number only (1246).
Version 1.0.7 1 October 2026
New
- Regular discount for each customer — a clear "Set discount" button on every customer in the Customers menu, and a "Regular discount %" box when adding or editing a customer. The discount is then offered automatically at payment.
Fixed
- Choosing a customer from the suggestions at payment now works when you click it.
Version 1.0.6 1 October 2026
New
- Loyalty program — one switch in Billing. Turned off, everything works as before. Turned on, you get a Customers menu showing every customer's name, phone number, number of visits, total spent and last visit, with search and Export to CSV (Excel).
- You can give everyone an automatic discount after a number of visits.
- Customers can be picked at payment on the phone app too, with the loyalty discount.
- The Sales Trend graph on the Dashboard is now a bar chart — today shows sales hour by hour.
Improved
- With the loyalty program on, a new customer needs a name and a 10-digit mobile number, and two customers can't share a number.
- Bills now print your shop's address, GSTIN, phone number, UPI QR code, header and footer.
Fixed
- Restaurant Settings could sometimes open showing "Default Restaurant" and empty fields until you visited the page again. It now always shows your saved details.
- Settings that failed to save to the cloud now show an error instead of saying "saved".
- The unused business-logo upload box is hidden (the logo was never printed on bills).
Version 1.0.5 1 October 2026
New
- Go Plus plan — a PC and a phone sharing the same menu and orders through the cloud, with tables, KOT, staff roles, reports and stock.
- Billing keeps working without internet on Go Plus, Pro and Enterprise. Each device keeps its own bill numbers, and everything uploads by itself when the internet is back.
- Reports: item-wise sales, profit (using each item's cost price) and an end-of-day Day Close report, on the PC and on the phone. Day Close can be printed or shared on WhatsApp.
- Send the bill PDF on WhatsApp from Orders. On the phone the PDF is attached automatically; on the PC the bill is saved and the customer's chat opens for you to drop it in.
- Google review QR code printed at the bottom of bills.
- Stock on the phone — see what is running low and record "stock received".
Improved
- Stock now goes down for every cloud bill, not only for bills made on one PC.
- Fresh PCs install without needing any extra Microsoft download, and connect to CerebraQ automatically.
- Developer-only screens (server address, diagnostics) are hidden from customers.
Version 1.0.4 30 September 2026
New
- Staff sign in on the PC with their own login; the owner uses Owner Sign In. Logging out keeps the PC connected so bills always reach the cloud.
- My Outlets — owners with several outlets can compare sales, top items and outlet health.
- Owner Dashboard on your phone.
Fixed
- Some new PCs could not connect to the server.
Version 1.0.3 29 September 2026
Improved
- Clear messages when a device can't be registered, and a way to register it again from the Devices screen.
Fixed
- Device registration failing on some servers.
Version 1.0.2 29 September 2026
New
- Device limits per plan for Pro and Enterprise.
Fixed
- Setting up a brand-new PC on a Pro or Enterprise plan.
Version 1.0.1 29 September 2026

- Pay-later billing for dine-in tables, the Android POS app and sales reports.
