Floor staff & easier updates

  • Floor staff issue reporting: attendants open a simple page on the shop network to report a down game or leave a note for the techs. No PIN, no training.
  • Easier updates: Arcadia downloads the new version and installs it for you. No hunting for the installer.
  • Fixes and polish from IAAPA Expo feedback.

Your shop from your phone

  • Mobile companion view: check stock and what's down from your phone on the floor.
  • Network map & tech notes: card readers, switches and IP addresses mapped inside Arcadia, so the next tech isn't guessing.
