Placeful 2.1 — staff, tasks, vouchers & safer payments

Highlights

• Staff management — a full HR workspace: employee roster with positions and contracts, document tracking, shift planning, time clock, time-off requests and approvals, and payroll runs — plus a self-service portal where staff see their shifts, tasks, timesheets, and documents.
• Staff tasks & AI scheduling — assign tasks to people or table areas, and let the AI scheduler suggest a best-fit roster you can review and apply in one pass.
• Voucher shop & promo codes — sell promotional vouchers from the embeddable widget shop and manage promo codes with targets and limits.
• Refund tracking — every refund records its legs, a reaper recovers stuck refunds, and owners get alerted when a refund needs attention.
• Safer payments & currency — Stripe webhooks are guarded against stale failures, and bookings always settle in your company's billing currency.
• Email booking reliability — confirm links can no longer double-book on retries or races, and inbound mail dedupes safely under concurrency.
• Widget hardening — archived events behave as tombstones, and widget↔parent messages only go to a verified origin.
