Why did you move the "split" button to best it in the stacked menu? Now it takes two clicks instead of one. Also, we can't see tab names on handhelds (or add them) without going under the nested menu. That's going to be a challenge when my weekly party of 20-40 locals come for social hour together and all want separate checks. It's pretty annoying when things get moved and changed without so much as a heads up email so we have to spend time hunting down features we use all the time. Is there a way to go back to previous builds on our end? I genuinely can't imagine anyone wants to go hunting for basic info like a tab name.

Thanks so much for sharing this feedback we completely understand how important quick access to Split and tab names is during service, especially with large parties.

While reverting to a previous build isn’t possible, we’re committed to making sure the new layout feels just as fast and familiar. I will relay this feedback to the proper teams!

Can you put wording in the "KDS - Language Toggle" that clarifies that this is for the display and not the menu items on the tickets? It comes across as if it will translate your menu items, which it will not. Thanks!
