Update member records from Eats365 platform

Eats365 is the primary source of data, and PassKit is responsible for rendering this data. You will need to update members' names, mobile numbers, points, credit, tiers, and other information on the Eats365 platform. Updating member information on PassKit will not be reflected in Eats365 POS.
