Bopple deepens in-venue and app ordering while bracing for AU payment changes.

Current state
Bopple is a hospitality ordering and commerce platform. Recent releases build out in-venue and app-based ordering — order-in-person-pay-in-app, visual category browsing, multi-store switching in Orders Manager — plus average-order-value features like product-level upsells and gift-card promo codes. A recent announcement flags upcoming Australian payment-regulation changes taking effect in October 2026.
Where it's heading
The direction is a more complete hospitality commerce loop: smoother ordering across counter, table, and app; menus that are easier to browse; and levers to lift order value. Operationally, the AU payments announcement signals compliance work ahead around surcharging and processing costs. Cadence is slow and clustered rather than continuous.
Prediction
Expect payments-compliance work ahead of the October 2026 Australian changes, alongside continued average-order-value and multi-store operational features.
