Dynamic Catering Cut-off

We’ve introduced more control over catering order cut-offs to accommodate kitchen opening hours such as weekend periods.

In Flex

• The new cut-off time per menu defines how many days in advance users can still book for each day of the week. This is helpful to limit booking during the weekend for a Monday, for example. Creating or editing a catering order after the cut-off time is restricted.
  The details you can find here: Ordering catering in Flex.

In OneLens360

• Enhanced the catering cut-off time logic by introducing custom cut-off time options per weekday under Catering Menus.

Automated Catering Orders

Automated catering orders can be created to trigger when users book certain spaces. For example, beverage tray orders can be automatically created when specific spaces are booked.

In Flex

• Catering orders are now created automatically when users book the spaces that have this automation set up. The new automated catering order has a corresponding label, a toggle to disable the automated catering order for users to control this service. The details you can find here: Ordering catering in Flex.

In OneLens360

• New Catering Template page helps set up the default catering item selection for automated catering orders. The spaces that will be using this template are defined in Admin Portal under the booking policies. Read more here: Catering Template.

In Admin Portal

• New Automated Catering Order (Optional) section in the Space booking policy settings is used to add a catering template. The catering template must be created in OneLens360 first. View the details here: Space booking policy.

Attendees Limitation Settings

In Flex and OneLens360

• A new safeguard has been added that prevents users from accidentally booking more attendees than a room can hold. At the same time, we’ve built in flexibility by allowing superusers to override these limits when a space is being used in non-standard ways:
  • Users with relevant permissions are able to invite more attendees than the space capacity allows. They warned about the capacity limit before doing so.
  • Users without the permission cannot add more attendees to a booking than the space capacity allows. They get a corresponding error message.

In Admin Portal

• New role-level permission API.Bookings.UnlimitedCapacity allows users to add more attendees than the space capacity is set for.
