Changelog

If you ever pressed "try it with sample data" or loaded a sample business from an empty list, you can now see exactly what those buttons added and take it back out. Settings has a new Sample Data page listing every batch of example records in your business, where each one came from and how many records it is, so you can clear one batch or all of them. Removing an example invoice or bill also reverses its bookkeeping entry, so your profit and loss and BAS stop counting amounts that were never real. Records you entered yourself are never touched, and the invoices, quotes and jobs lists now say up front when some of what you are looking at is an example rather than your own work.

Times across the product are now written and shown against your business's own clock rather than the server's. That means the hour you type when you book a job, roster a shift or schedule a visit is the hour that gets stored, and the same hour appears on the run sheet, the parts list, the dispatch board, the calendar feed and the confirmation your customer receives. Run sheets and parts lists also now show a full day's work rather than quietly starting mid-morning, and the day printed at the top of today's run sheet is the day whose jobs are on it. If a list cannot load it now says so instead of showing an empty page that looks like a quiet day. Timesheets tell you when an approval did not save rather than closing as though it had, and rejecting one no longer clears the notes already on it.

Your public booking page has been rebuilt around one idea: show customers when they can come in, and nothing else. Booked time and time you are not working now look the same to a visitor, so nobody can read your diary off your booking page, and the times you do have free are the only things on the screen. It works properly on a phone, where most bookings actually happen: bigger time buttons, the right keyboard for each field, and errors that announce themselves instead of leaving the page looking stuck. If a day is full it now offers you the next three days that are not. You can choose how it looks in Bookings, Booking Page: a week view, a day view with a column per staff member, or a simple list of times, plus which hours to show, how far ahead people can book, and whether to show staff photos and prices. Customers who have bought a lesson pack now see how many they have left and that booking one uses a credit, rather than wondering if they are about to pay twice.

The booking set-up screen used to say your page was live whether or not it was. It now checks what your page actually needs and shows you what is outstanding, with a link straight to the screen that fixes each one, and it holds back the share link and QR code until the page can genuinely take a booking. Adding a service also now ticks Bookable by default, which was the commonest reason a page stayed empty after an operator had done everything right.

If you have never sent an invoice, the invoice page now guides you through it step by step: who it is for, what you did, what it costs, and how you want to be paid. It asks whether you are registered for GST exactly once, ever, with a straight answer if you are not sure, and your bank details print on every invoice from then on so customers can pay you straight away. You can add your logo and colour right before sending, send by email, copy a link to text instead, or send it to yourself first to see what your customer will get. Once you have sent one, the guidance steps back and stays out of your way. Every invoice also now shows a plain-words running total while you type, and the line-item fields are properly labelled.

The set-up step that asks what kind of business you run is now one simple list in plain words, with the businesses that use OneBookPlus most right at the top, including driving schools and music teachers who previously had no tile of their own. Search understands what you actually do, so typing bond clean, sparky or driving lessons finds the right fit. And picking your industry now sets up the right tools automatically, so the old question about which modules you want is gone. Everything stays changeable in Settings.

Bills you have not paid yet now sit in Accounts Payable instead of showing as money already out of the bank, so your balance sheet, cash flow and bank figures reflect what has actually left your account. The Aged Payables report now shows every supplier you owe and how overdue each balance is, marking a bill as paid records the payment properly against it, and the trial balance export matches the on-screen report exactly. BAS figures now follow your GST reporting basis too, with GST on purchases claimed when you pay a bill rather than when you receive it if you report on a cash basis. Existing figures have been tidied up automatically, so there is nothing you need to do.

If you are on a free trial you now get a heads-up three days out and again the day before it finishes, sent against your actual trial end date rather than a fixed number of days after you signed up. Each one shows what you have built so far, such as invoices sent and their value, bookings scheduled and customers on file, so you can see what you would be leaving behind. Nothing is ever deleted when a trial ends: your account moves to the Free plan and everything stays where it is. If your card is already on file we leave you alone, because nothing is about to change for you.

Financial Insights is a new visual summary of your last 12 months: money in against money out, net profit and margin, cash on hand, what you are owed and where your money goes. It opens with plain-language signals such as income momentum, overdue cash and customer concentration, each linking to the screen where you can act on it. Reports are no longer dead ends either, so you can click an expense category on the Profit and Loss to see the transactions behind it, or a customer on Aged Receivables to see the invoices they owe on and open one straight away.

List, Month, Week and Day now sit on one control, so the view you want is a single tap away. Pinch to zoom between them or swipe sideways to move through weeks. A live line marks the current time, finished bookings fade back, and the open time between bookings shows as a tappable gap that starts a booking already set to that time. A summary tells you what needs you for the period you are looking at: what is booked, waiting to be confirmed, still unpaid, double booked, or free. The home revenue chart also switches between 7 days, 30 days, 6 months and 12 months, and between bar, line and area.

Replies to your invoices, quotes and booking confirmations land in a single inbox inside OneBookPlus instead of scattering across your personal email. Threads are grouped per client, so you can open a customer and see every message alongside their jobs and invoices, then reply in the app with files or a document attached. This one is in beta and switched on per business: ask us if you would like it turned on for yours.

Tracking parts and stock levels used to sit behind a separate paid app. It is now included with Jobs on every plan: add parts to a job or invoice, set a sale price or let it calculate from cost plus markup, and search the catalogue by name or SKU. Buying stock on a supplier bill receives it into inventory automatically.

You can now transfer money between your cash and bank accounts and have both sides post to the ledger correctly. Payments record against a chosen deposit account (with a default you set once, changeable after the fact), and the balance sheet breaks down per account so the figure on the page matches the account it came from.

Set once whether your prices include GST, and invoices, quotes, bookings and recurring invoices all follow it, with an inclusive or exclusive toggle on invoices, bills, expenses and stock prices. If you are not registered for GST, OneBookPlus now detects that from your ABN when you verify it and stops adding GST you should not be charging.

Salons and barbers get a free identity in OneBookPlus (services, chairs, online bookings and GST invoicing) plus an optional paid Salon Suite for the salon-specific work. Your client history, notes and rebookings stay on your own records rather than a marketplace's.

Music teachers and schools can run prepaid lesson credits, weekly term calendars, and exam and grade tracking in one place. Parents who pay for a child are kept on the student's record, so a whole family can be invoiced per term without rebuilding the list each time.

You can invite an external accountant or bookkeeper into a scoped, accounting-only view of your business instead of handing over your login. They get a curated workspace across the clients who invited them, can raise queries against specific transactions, and can sign off a period once it is reconciled.

A chat panel in the dashboard puts support and quick actions one click away, and it keeps your history between sessions. A "What's new" area in the top bar carries product announcements, so changes turn up where you work rather than only on this page.

Customers can now buy a pass or package on your public booking page and redeem it themselves when they book, without you raising anything by hand. You activate the pass, and each booking draws it down on a ledger you can audit.

Driving instructors get lesson packages with a real credit ledger: every booked lesson draws one credit, a cancellation puts it back, and students and parents see a live balance instead of texting you. Alongside it, competency sign-off against your own syllabus, a printable student record, a pickup map that plots the day's lessons in drive order, and instructor and vehicle scheduling that blocks a double-booking before it happens.

Businesses on OneBookPlus get a free listing in the OneBookPlus directory, where customers can search by category and suburb and book straight from your profile. The directory now covers 87 categories, from driving schools and salons to trades and allied health.

OneBookPlus is now a Zapier app, so you can push new bookings, invoices, quotes and contacts into the thousands of tools Zapier connects to. Connecting is free on every plan, and public booking-widget bookings fire the same events as ones you create yourself.

Every business gets five free AI receipt scans to try, so you can photograph a receipt and have the expense filled in without subscribing to the AI Companion first. You can also drop a supplier PDF invoice in and have it create the bill to pay.

If you travel between customers, the calendar now has a map view that plots the day by pickup address with the driving route, per-leg travel times, and a flag when two jobs are too tight to make. It includes street, satellite and terrain layers and directions for the whole day, without needing a separate navigation app to plan it.

Real estate agents can build a listing presentation from templates instead of assembling one per vendor, then send it as a tracked digital proposal. You can see how the vendor engaged with it rather than guessing whether it was opened.

Cleaning businesses get a bond and end-of-lease workflow in the iOS app, built around the room-by-room checklist those jobs are actually quoted and signed off against.

The native iOS app is approved and live on the App Store, with invoicing, quotes, bookings, contacts, jobs, expenses, accounting reports and every industry dashboard, plus a roomy two-pane layout on iPad. Starter and Growth plans can be subscribed in-app through Apple, and onboarding signs you in with Apple, Google or email and walks through business setup. Face ID app lock and push notifications are included; a native Android app is coming, and the full web app runs on any Android device at my.onebookplus.com.au in the meantime.

Every tab of the iOS app now carries an "Ask AI" button that opens a chat grounded in your own business data, ask about unpaid invoices, this week's bookings, or cash flow and get an answer drawn from your books, not a generic reply. It's unlimited with the AI Companion add-on, and every business gets 3 free questions a day to try it. Alongside it: a global quick-create button, Invoice Insights on the dashboard, and search on the More tab.

The public site now shows the product working instead of describing it: a scroll-driven scene scrubs through a tradie's actual day, missed call answered and booked by AI, job card, GST invoice sent from the ute, payment landing with GST set aside, while the ledger writes itself entry by entry. Every one of the 56 industry pages got its own version with a day native to that trade, and everything has full static fallbacks for reduced motion, SEO and slow connections.

Hotel operators can now switch the SMS log between "All SMS" and "Hotel SMS only" with one tap, narrowing the list to stay-related messages, pre-arrival check-in links, arrival-day welcomes, review requests and booking confirmations, without scrolling past invoice and appointment traffic. The filter keeps your other settings intact and says so plainly when nothing matches.

Hotel accounts now receive a single skim-able morning email at 6:00 am AEST listing today's arrivals, today's departures, and the balance to collect at the desk, so you can read the day's plan before reception opens. Quiet days with nothing on the board are skipped, and the digest can be switched off entirely if you'd rather not get it.

The audit log can now be narrowed to hotel activity only, check-ins, check-outs, confirmations, cancellations, no-shows and guest broadcasts, so operators running the hotel module can review a day's accommodation activity without wading through unrelated events. Your existing date and staff filters keep working alongside it.

Each promo code now shows how many bookings actually redeemed it and the revenue those stays brought in, right under the code in the list. At a glance you can see which codes are pulling in bookings and which are sitting idle, counted from real stays, not a running tally.

You can now add a weekend surcharge that applies itself at booking time, either a flat amount per Friday/Saturday night or a percentage scaled to how much of the stay falls on a weekend. It lands on the guest's folio and reports like any other charge, and it's shown on the public booking page up front so guests aren't surprised at checkout. Off by default; opt in when you're ready.

When a Google reviewer's name matches a recently checked-out guest, the Reviews page now shows a "Matched stay" link that jumps straight to that booking, so you can see who left the review and what their stay looked like. Names don't always line up perfectly, so it's clearly labelled as a possible match rather than a certainty.

The public demo now opens with a short, dismissible tour of the month's hotel features, channel-manager conflict detection, Front Desk TV, returning-guest indicators, the reschedule queue, printable scan-to-book QR cards and the OTA reconciliation report, each linking straight into the relevant screen. Dismiss it once and it stays out of your way.

Housekeeping now has a one-click "Priority today" filter that shows only the rooms with a same-day turn, a guest leaving and a different guest arriving on the same date, which is the cleaner's must-finish-first list. Those rooms also carry a priority badge in the full view so they're never missed.

The STR Compliance page now opens with a one-line summary of your short-term-rental cap exposure, how many rooms have hit or are approaching their annual night cap, and which room is closest to the line. It turns red when a cap is reached and amber when one is getting close, and stays hidden until you've configured caps.

The Direct Booking Engine page now shows what you kept this month by taking bookings directly instead of through an online travel agency, estimated against Booking.com's typical 15% commission, alongside a count of direct versus OTA bookings. It only appears once you have direct bookings, so new operators never see an empty celebration.

Accommodation Reports now opens with a six-month revenue trend showing what each month actually banked from completed stays, month by month with dollar figures, a quick read on trajectory alongside the existing 12-month ADR and occupancy chart.

A new bulk action on Room Types raises (or lowers) every room type's base nightly rate by a chosen percentage in one click, handy ahead of school holidays or shoulder-season corrections. Guardrails cap any single change at ±50% and refuse anything that would drop a rate to zero, so a typo can't wreck your calendar.

The App Marketplace now carries a Hotel & Accommodation panel summarising the month's hotel releases, guest portal with scan-to-book QR cards, channel-manager conflict detection, returning-guest indicators, the OTA commission reconciliation report, and self-check-in access codes, with a link through to the full hotel suite.

The pricing page now includes a side-by-side breakdown of what a typical 50-room property loses each month to Booking.com and Airbnb commissions, compared with 0% commission on direct bookings through OneBookPlus.

8 new accounting pages: chart of accounts, general ledger, journal entries, balance sheet, cash flow, aged receivables, aged payables, and budget tracking, bringing total accounting pages to 13.
