Push notifications, now on the menu
A powerful way to stay top of mind and drive more orders — right at your fingertips in Bopple Back Office. You can now reach customers directly with push notifications through your branded app — perfect for promoting specials, announcing events, nudging your regulars, or re-engaging customers who haven’t ordered in a while.

Holiday hours, without all the admin
We've given 'Special Dates' a serious overhaul and a new name — it's now easier than ever to make sure your store is open (or closed) at the right times during holidays, events, or temporary closures. The big win? You can now create closures or adjusted hours for multiple dates in one go. Just choose your start and end dates, and you’re done.
Easter is just around the corner — jump into Back Office today and get your hours sorted ahead of time.
Order feedback
Get real-time insights to improve service with private feedback from customers about their order experience. Celebrate the wins with your team, address concerns directly with customers, and keep your reputation strong. Coming soon, ‘Smart Reviews’ will boost positive ratings on Google by prompting happy customers to leave a review—helping you attract more customers and grow your business. Learn more
Branded app upgrade — don't miss out
A branded app is not just a nice-to-have — it is your most powerful tool to stay competitive. This update brings more features and experiences you’d normally only see in custom apps built for enterprise brands — but it’s made for growing hospo businesses like yours, without the million-dollar price tag.
- Featured menu items — Put your best sellers, specials, or limited edition drops front and centre — right on the home screen of your app.
- Your brand, loud and clear — From sign-up to checkout and beyond, your app is unmistakably you. Now with even more customisation and branding.
- Multi-select modifiers (coming soon) — Support is already built in with this update, so when the feature is live, it just works in your app. No update needed.
- Collapsible modifiers — Modifier sets can now be collapsed, and your app is ready for you to control their default display behaviour (coming soon)
- Smoother sign-in — No need to choose between logging in or signing up. Customers just enter their email — we'll guide them through the right steps for a faster, more seamless experience.
