Update! Your GoodBarber Shop Companion app is also now available on iPad.

Whether you're an existing user of our GoodBarber mobile app or a newcomer, this new addition brings you an even more convenient way to manage your orders.
Why settle for a smaller screen when you can now enjoy an optimized experience on your iPad?

The GoodBarber Shop Companion App for iPad is available for download on the Apple App Store.


You asked for it and we listened! 
While our Shopping Apps are designed to offer you the best admin interface possible for you to manage your shop, we understand that when it's time to manage all your orders, especially if you're working in a fast environment like a restaurant, you don't want to go to your back office to get it done. 

This is why we created My GoodBarber Shop Companion. A brand new app that allows you to manage all orders directly from your smartphone. No need to connect to your back office. Your management tool is in your pocket!.  

 

How does it work

Once you've logged in with your GoodBarber credentials, you'll land directly on the list of pending orders. The orders are organized by delivery slots in chronological order. If you haven't activated the orders will be listed by order number.

Note: this app is most effective if you're using the delivery slots add-on, which we highly recommend to restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, etc. Any businesses that benefit from offering fast local delivery. 

From there, you can manage their status in 2 different ways:

 
  • From the order list
On the pending order list, you'll see the orders from the next upcoming time slot first. 

Swipe left to update their status to the next level. For example, if your next order is still on the "pending" status, when you swipe left, you'll move it to the "processed" status. 
If your order is already on the "processed" status when you swipe left you'll pass the order to "finished".  

The swipe right will allow you to move an order to cancelled or back to the previous status. For example, if your order is on "processed", you will be able to move it back to "pending". 

 
  • From the detailed order page
Click on an order on the list to access the details page. Here you'll find all the info on that order as you would in your back office: items ordered,  name, address, payment method, delivery or pickup option, time slot, etc. You can even send the invoice to your client directly from this page. 
A dropdown menu at the bottom of this page allows you to update the order status. 


You can also view all your closed orders and change their status again if needed. 
However, it's not possible to change the status of a cancelled order on this app.

AI Extension Builder: the agent tests your sections and can create your app's database

Take a sports club that wants its members to choose the date of its tournament. In its Create with AI section, it writes: “Add a poll to choose the tournament date, with the results.”The agent first reads the app's context: its palette, its fonts, its logo, the files already added. It looks up GoodBarber's design system, written by our designers. Then it writes the section's files.The votes have to be shared between all the members. The agent spots this and asks the question, with three answers:Create the app's database: one database, run by GoodBarber. Its tables start empty.Connect my Supabase: the data goes to the club's Supabase project.Cancel: the agent builds the section without a database, and each phone sees only its own votes.The club picks the GoodBarber database. The agent then opens the section in a browser, at the width of a phone, and tries its buttons. It looks for errors: a script that crashes, a broken image, text that runs off the screen. It fixes what it finds, then saves the section.The members vote, and everyone sees the results. Each member can change only their own vote.
