When things get busy, the gaps show. Queues slow down. Orders land at the wrong station. Accounting eats up hours you don't have.

This quarter, we built five features to close those gaps, so your checkout moves faster, your kitchen runs smoother, and your admin takes care of itself. When everything works together, the work flows faster. Less waiting, less friction, more customers served. 

Let's get into our Q1 product wrap up.

What’s New at Yoco

Discover the new features designed to help you run your business faster.

Feature 1: Barcode Scanning

Our most requested feature. Now here.

Searching for products slows down checkout when queues start forming. The Yoco Barcode Scanner fixes that. Scan any item and it's instantly in the cart. No scrolling, no manual entry, no momentum lost. 

Connect your Yoco Barcode Scanner to your Yoco Counter (or Yoco POS app on tablet) via Bluetooth in under 30 seconds, and you're ready to go. Checkout time is instantly reduced by up to 40%, and you can ring up products in less than a second, making every sale faster and more efficient.

Available now at yoco.com/shop.

Feature 2: Prep Stations

Busy is good. Chaos isn’t.

When orders stack up, prep slows down. Someone's shouting across the kitchen, slips are getting lost, and customers are waiting. Prep Stations fix that. Orders are routed the second they’re placed.

Set them up once, and every order routes automatically to the right printer. Bar. Kitchen. Grill. Right order, right station, every time. No shouting, no lost orders, no mistakes, no delays.

Feature 3: Smart Receipts

Receipts sent automatically after payment.

Growing transaction volume means growing receipt admin. Staff are resending, and customers are chasing proof of payment. Smart Receipts ends that. 

A South African first, customers opt in once, and every receipt sends automatically by SMS or email the moment payment goes through. No printing, no typing, no follow-up. Just done, so you can keep the line moving and your business growing.

Feature 4: Modifier Reporting

Track your most popular add-ons.

You're managing your sales on your Point-of-Sale app and built out your modifiers on your product catalogue, but do you know which ones are actually driving revenue? Now you do. With Modifier Reporting, a new tab in your Yoco reports shows you exactly which toppings, sides, and extras your customers keep coming back for. 

Use these insights to understand customer preferences and optimise your menu for what’s working best.

Feature 5: Sage Integration

Automate your accounting.

For growing businesses, accounting admin can take up to 2 hours a day. Late-night reconciliations, manual capturing, tabs switching between apps. Sage Integration fixes that, saving you up to 8 hours each month on reconciliation. 

Your daily Yoco sales sync automatically into Sage, with no manual capture, reducing errors through automation, and keeping your books accurate. Clean data, every day, zero manual work.

Your business, moving faster

Five new features. Less waiting, less friction, more customers served.

Whether you're scanning items at a busy counter, routing orders to the kitchen, or syncing your books automatically at the end of the day, these tools are built to keep things moving when it matters most.

This is just the start of what we're building in 2026. 

Stay tuned for what's coming next.
