As we close out the month of August 2026 and head into September, we reflect on a period of great productivity and continuous enhancements of the Opsyte platform. We are excited to share a series of improvements we have made, all designed to enhance usability, optimise functionality, and streamline your day-to-day operations. Remember, Opsyte is built hand-in-hand with hospitality operators like you, and our focus is always on delivering solutions that address your specific needs. Below you'll find our release notes summarising the updates we have delivered this month, before diving in we'd really appreciate your support in completing this quick 1-minute survey about integrations. Your feedback will help us better understand your needs and prioritise the right areas for future development.

We encourage our clients to suggest ideas for improvements by using the Feature Requests option which can be found underneath the question mark at the top of the Opsyte homepage. The Feature Requests page allows you to submit your ideas for improvement, as well as vote and comment on those left by other users. Please get involved and help us to decide what to develop next!

Any requests approved will now receive a notification confirming approval. They will also be notified once the request has been processed and completed.

We have added a "No Show" button on the rota approval page, giving you a streamlined way to manage unexpected absences. Simply head to the rota approval page and underneath the yellow section where the employee's clock in time appears is the Mark Unworked button.

If you select this button you have the option to mark the employee as a No Show or you can mark them for Statutory Sick Pay.

You can now approve shifts individually, providing greater flexibility in managing your team's work hours. You can still approve via department or approve the entire page in one go but you now have the added option of approving shifts one by one. If you prefer to approve shifts per employee this is now available!

You can preview contract templates while you're editing them. This allows you to perfect the document's layout before issuing it. Double check any spacing, titles and logos and preview this to make sure it's perfect.

Select the Generate Draft button and wait for the Task Running box to turn green to indicate your draft is ready for preview.

We've made it easier to manage sick leave. You'll now find the SSP option in the first pop-up when you right click on a shift in the rota to reflect changes in legislation.

We've added a new feature to the petty cash entry process. You can now choose whether the entered amount should be automatically deducted from the "To Bank" section.

Before funding from the on-site cash when you select the Cash on the financial page you can see the Cash Left To Bank is showing as £152.

If you create an entry on the petty cash and select the "Fund From On-Site Cash" box this will then be deducted from the Cash Left To Bank section.

This will then also show in the Banking box in its own tracker alongside the value.

We've introduced a feature to reverse a deposit mistakenly inputted, thus ensuring accurate financial records.

If you select the deposits redeemed tracker in the Elements box there is a button next to the deposit labelled "unredeem" if you select this and it has been successful you will see a green box appear that shows the action has succeeded.

We've added a notification system for Xero disconnections. You'll now see a banner on the invoice system page if your site disconnects from Xero.

The P&L Flash has been extended to now show wage cost breakdowns by department, in line with the Wage Report. This provides greater visibility into labour costs across different areas of the business, making it easier to identify where wage spend is highest and monitor departmental performance.

The wage report has been updated so you can now toggle between base wages and wages including NI & Pension. This gives users more flexibility when reviewing labour costs.

You can now view your cashup summary directly in the app, making financial management on-the-go even easier. Scroll to the financial section and select cash up and here you can see the summary.

As well as being able to view the cashup summary in the app you can now view the snapshot in the app and send it directly from the app too. We appreciate that a lot of users are constantly on the go and being able to manage the operations from a mobile device is becoming integral to running your business. This way you can keep an eye on business as and when you need to.
