What's New in Katalyst

Feature Release

The Control & Customization Update

Released on July 6, 2025. Here's what's new.

We've polished the interface and supercharged the dashboard to be your central command hub.

AI Search on Dashboard: The powerful AI search bar has been moved to the dashboard. You can now search for anything across the platform—items, recipes, reports, or help docs—right from the main screen.
Sleek UI Enhancements: The app now features an elegant dark mode with a subtle black and blue gradient background. We've also made the "Help Center" button stand out more with its own gradient.
Compact Table Views: All tables across the app now have reduced vertical spacing, allowing you to see more data at a glance without scrolling.
Expanded Navigation: The main sidebar categories are now expanded by default for quicker access to the tools you need.

Major upgrades to how you create, manage, and view your menu items and recipes.

Revamped Menu Management Page: The "Menu Management" page is now a powerful, data-rich table showing you plate cost, sell price, profit margin, and assigned modifiers for every recipe in one view.
Collapsible Item Detail Page: The item detail page has been redesigned into a clean, single-column layout with collapsible cards, making it much easier to navigate complex item settings.
Sellable Units (Variants): You can now create multiple sellable units (like "6 pc." or "9 pc.") for a single base recipe, each with its own price and cost multiplier.

We've rolled out a complete modifier management system and added many new advanced settings to give you granular control.

Full Modifier System: Create and manage modifier groups from a dedicated "Modifiers" page under the "Kitchen Hub". Set min/max selections, up-charges, and various display options.
Advanced Modifier Assignment: Assign modifier groups to items and override the default min/max selection rules on a per-item basis for ultimate flexibility.
Deeper Item Control: The item detail page now includes dozens of new fields from your training manual, including multiple name fields (POS, kitchen, guest receipt), market pricing, tax categories, limited quantity tracking, and more.
Streamlined Workflow: You can now quick-switch between modifier groups from a dropdown on the detail page, saving you clicks and time.
