September 2025 focused on strengthening reservation-to-transaction traceability, improving checkout UX, and expanding granular permission controls within Gastro across Tillhub schemas. Key features delivered: linking Gastro reservations to transactions by adding reservation_id to the transaction schema and moving the linkage to the top-level transaction object for direct origin tracing; a Remote Checkout Drawer Control config (drawer_open) to control automatic cash drawer opening during remote checkouts; and expanded Reservation Permissions for iOS Gastro, enabling create, update, and delete operations with finer table reservation granularity. Major bug fix: common permissions stability improvement across shared modules. Overall impact: improved end-to-end traceability for reservations and transactions, more flexible and user-friendly checkout experience, and stronger access control; business value includes faster reconciliation, reduced risk, and better compliance. Technologies/skills shown: schema design and migration, configuration-driven UX changes, and robust permissions modeling within a TypeScript/JSON schema ecosystem.

February 2025 monthly summary for repository tillhub/schemas. Focused on strengthening schema robustness, configurability, and UI/UX flexibility across core flows. Delivered five key features/adjustments, with emphasis on business value through improved onboarding, reliability, and backward-compatible changes. Key features and bug fixes delivered: - Device Configuration: Optional IP Address – Made IP address optional in network configuration and updated schema validation to support devices registering without a specified IP, reducing onboarding friction and enabling flexible deployments. - Cart Items: Configuration Tracking – Introduced a new configuration object on cart items to track user-driven item property changes (including tax switching and related actions) and added an inheritance link ID; updated legacy transaction item schemas to ensure consistency and better auditability. - Voucher API Timeout Configuration – Added a configurable API timeout for voucher operations (5–120 seconds, default 30 seconds) to improve reliability and control over voucher workflows in varying network conditions. - Address Validation Relaxation – Relaxed the address schema by removing the mandatory lines field, accommodating scenarios where address lines are optional and reducing failed registrations. - Gastro Floor Layout Support – Added gastro floor layout options (grid and visual) with default grid; introduced a client_accounts feature flag floor_layouts to enable visual layouts on POS when gastro_tables availability allows. This enables better UI/UX alignment with restaurant configurations and controlled rollout via feature flags. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased onboarding flexibility for devices and resilience of address handling, leading to fewer operational blockers. - Improved data integrity and traceability through enhanced cart item configuration tracking and updated legacy schemas. - Enhanced system reliability for voucher workflows through configurable timeouts and safer defaults. - Enabled new UI variants for gastro operations via floor layout options, with safe, flag-driven rollout. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Schema design and validation, configuration management, feature flag usage, backward-compatible data model evolution, and alignment of backend changes with frontend/POS workflows.

January 2025 — Schemas layer improvements across tillhub/schemas focused on reliability and maintainability. Resolved a device_info JSON syntax issue, consolidated the address schema into a single reusable module to prevent cross-endpoint validation errors, and clarified documentation that the address country field uses ISO Alpha-2 codes (updated example from 'Germany' to 'DE' for accuracy). These changes improve data validation consistency across endpoints, reduce future drift, and accelerate onboarding of new endpoints.
