Easy Eatery Beta 0.8.0 released

Welcome to our biggest update to date.

We have taken Easy Eatery from a proof of concept phase, to a polished, professional platform.

This release delivers a complete design overhaul, powerful new features, and major improvements to the tools you already use every day.

With this release, we are also changing how we deliver updates. Instead of large milestone releases spaced further apart, development will now shift to a more incremental approach, bringing you new features and improvements more regularly.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, but the highlights.

Major design refresh

The entire control panel has been rebuilt for clarity, consistency, and speed.

• A brand-new, polished look based on customer feedback.
• Fully responsive across desktop, tablet and mobile.

This refresh is more than a visual update. It is the foundation for everything we will build going forward. We have applied lessons learned and feedback received to create a generational leap in usability and appearance.
