Seamless Customer Experience: Diners viewing the digital menu would immediately see the most current version, including any changes in items, pricing, or descriptions.
No Page Refresh Needed: The updates appeared live without requiring the customer to refresh their device, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted browsing experience.

Subversion 0.4.3 – Menu Scheduling for Different Times/Days
Release Date: August 25th, 2023
The final enhancement in this version, v0.4.3, added a menu scheduling feature that allowed restaurants to set different menus based on time or day. This made it easier to automate changes and offer specialized menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, weekends, or special events. Main features included:
Time-Based Scheduling: Restaurants could create different menus for specific times of the day, allowing for automatic transitions between menus, such as breakfast to lunch or lunch to dinner.
Day-Based Menus: Customized menus could be scheduled to appear on certain days (e.g., weekend specials or weekday lunch offers).
Automated Menu Switching: The system would automatically update the displayed menu based on the set schedule, reducing the need for manual changes and ensuring diners always see the correct offerings.
This feature improved the efficiency of menu management, allowing restaurants to plan and schedule menus in advance, enhancing their ability to provide relevant and timely options to customers.
