Monthly bundled-update cadence covering POS, tipping, kitchen, and AI margin tooling.

◆Current state
SpotOn publishes a single monthly digest covering all product surfaces — dashboard access, kitchen pacing, tipping flows, delivery, reservations — without per-feature posts. The recent months point to a deliberate operations-friction agenda: penny rounding (March), printing and tip handling (February), call-answering and table-filling add-ons (January), faster approvals and kitchen timing (December), and the AI-powered Profit Assist (October). The cadence is consistent; the disclosure style is bundled.
◆Where it's heading
SpotOn is a restaurant-platform suite shipping breadth across hardware-touching, staff-facing, and back-of-house surfaces in parallel. The visible thread across months is friction reduction — every release is framed as removing a step a manager or server has to perform — anchored by the AI-driven Profit Assist as the analytic layer. Expect the AI surface to thread into more reports and live operations rather than launch as a standalone product.
◆Prediction
Next monthly digest likely continues the friction-reduction theme — faster onboarding, more Profit Assist surfaces inside the dashboard, and additional add-ons targeted at front-of-house or delivery operators.
