Introducing Glownet’s Advanced POS Capabilities for Hospitality & Retail.
We are introducing a major expansion of Glownet’s POS capabilities across product catalog management, modifiers, variants, and station-level configuration.
Designed for high-throughput live environments, the latest Glownet POS release introduces a more flexible and scalable approach to product configuration and ordering workflows across hospitality, retail, and venue operations.
Here is a breakdown of what’s new:
Advanced Product Management
Managing a diverse inventory just got incredibly simple. We’ve moved beyond basic, single-item listings to support complex product structures out of the box.
Product Variants: Selling a festival t-shirt in Small, Medium, and Large? Or a drink in Single vs. Double? You can now create multiple variants for a single product, maintaining a centralized and operationally consistent catalog structure across locations and stations.
SKU Support: To help you keep track of it all, we now fully support SKUs (Stock Keeping Units). Keep product data organized and consistent across your operations, while making inventory management simpler at scale.
Product Images: A picture is worth a thousand words, and a lot of saved time at checkout. You can now upload product images directly to the POS interface, helping staff identify and process products more efficiently during peak transaction periods.
Master the Custom Order with Modifiers
No two customers are exactly alike, and ordering workflows need to accommodate that flexibility. We are introducing Modifier Groups, allowing you to offer unparalleled customization, build bundles, and handle complex orders with ease. With modifier groups, you can now allow customers to:
Remove Ingredients: “Hold the onions!” Easily subtract items from a standard build.
Pick Options: Select a side (fries vs. salad) or a cooking preference during checkout.
Add Add-ons: Upgrade a meal with extra cheese, add a souvenir cup, or upsell premium features.
Flexible Pricing for Bundles & Upgrades
Modifiers don’t just change the order; they change the value. You can now assign custom pricing to modifiers within a group. Want to charge extra for avocado? Easy. Want to include a premium add-on for free as part of a special bundle? You have total control over the pricing logic behind every single customization.
Global Catalog, Local Control: Station-Specific Overrides
Managing a large venue with multiple bars, VIP lounges, and merchandise stalls? This feature is for you. Opera Touch now operates on a “Global Catalog, Local Control” model:
The Global Catalog: Set up your master list of products, variants, modifiers, and standard global pricing in one central place. Every station pulls from this single source of truth.
Station Overrides: Total flexibility where it matters. Any individual station can override the price of any product or modifier.
Customized Station Rules: Want the VIP lounge to charge more for a cocktail? Need a specific bar to offer a modifier for free as part of a localized promotion? You can override prices, toggle whether an add-on is included for free, and tailor the menu specifically to the station it’s being sold from.
What This Means For Your Business
Faster Transactions: Images, variants, and intuitive modifier prompts mean staff spend less time tapping screens and more time engaging customers.
Increased Revenue: Seamless upselling through modifier groups makes it natural for staff to offer add-ons and premium options.
Operational Clarity: SKU support and global cataloging maintain structured operational and reporting data, no matter how many stations you are running.
