All the things we’ve updated
Bulk edit items
Save time with bulk editing in your Dashboard. Update multiple menu items simultaneously instead of changing them one by one.
Item availability
Easily manage item availability from POS or Dashboard — mark items sold out, set stock counts, or toggle inventory tracking with just a few taps.
Stock overview
Simplify inventory management with the new Stock Overview page on Square Dashboard. See real-time stock and edit quantities instantly — all from your POS or computer.
Make staff breaks mandatory and easy to track
Set required breaks based on shift length or consecutive hours and get alerts when breaks aren’t taken. This gives you clear visibility into how policies are followed so you can support your team’s wellbeing, reduce compliance risk and keep accurate time records.
Details
Set required-break rules in the Square Dashboard or Square app. Set a break after a set number of hours or for shifts longer than a specified length. When a break is missed, managers see alerts and the missed break is flagged on the employee’s timecard so you can follow up and correct records before payroll.
Putting breaks on autopilot helps you enforce consistent policies across shifts and locations, supporting staff health and reducing compliance risk. Combined with scheduling and timecard features, Required Breaks makes it simpler to spot patterns, coach teams and run payroll with confidence.
Manage item availability
Track item counts, turn inventory tracking on or off and reset availability each day directly from Square Point of Sale. The updated flow helps you stay on top of availability so your team is always ready for service. Long press an item tile on your menu to get started.
Standardise your reporting day for accurate revenue
Set a single reporting day so numbers in Square Dashboard, transfers reports, and settlement times align. When your reports match, reconciliation takes less time, accounting errors drop, and you get clearer day-over-day revenue insights to help protect cash flow.
Details
Weekend and public holiday surcharges on Square Online

Details
Change device modes remotely in Dashboard
Save time managing multiple locations by switching device modes — like Standard or QSR — directly from your Dashboard. No need to visit each site or handle every device manually.
Cleaner, shorter receipts
Identical items are now automatically grouped on printed receipts, keeping things tidy and making it easier for staff and guests to review orders.
