Aloha Cloud has announced the release of version 6.16, introducing several new features aimed at improving restaurant operations and guest experiences. The update focuses on enhancing order efficiency, brand consistency, and access to operational insights.
The new Modifier Panel allows staff to view and select menu items and modifiers on a single screen. This change is intended to speed up order entry, reduce training time for employees, and increase throughput during busy periods. The panel’s layout can also be customized based on staff preferences.
Version 6.16 introduces “Split by Item” functionality, enabling staff to assign individual menu items to different checks or split a single item among multiple guests. This feature is designed to make group dining scenarios easier for both guests and restaurant staff.
Restaurants can now display their logo across various customer touchpoints by uploading it once in the Aloha Cloud Back Office. The logo will appear on login screens, customer displays, and receipts—both printed and digital—helping maintain consistent branding throughout the guest experience.
The update includes enhanced Revenue Center capabilities through deeper integration with the NCR Voyix Commerce Platform. Operators are now able to track performance by service type such as dine-in, take-out, or catering while supporting tax compliance and generating financial reports using API-driven data. These insights are accessible through Aloha Smart Manager, Pulse Real-Time, or third-party integrations via the TDM API.
Additional enhancements in version 6.16 include support for the NCR Voyix AX5 POS terminal, online order prioritization on Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), a new “Manager Approval Needed” screen, certified Epson TM88-VII thermal printer support, linked refunds with reason codes, maximum reward redemption limits, and offline loyalty support through Consumer Marketing.
According to the company: “Aloha Cloud v6.16 is more than a feature update—it’s a platform evolution designed to help restaurants thrive in a fast-paced, guest-first world. From faster service and smarter data to deeper brand engagement, this release empowers operators to run more efficiently and make better decisions, faster.”
