Calculate auto-gratuity on the pre-discount subtotal instead of the discounted total, and set multiple rates for different service scenarios.

Printer profile settings control whether top and bottom padding appears on printed order tickets. A separate setting determines whether the ticket footer, which includes device and profile information, prints.

A setting on Kitchen Display System (KDS) lets sellers choose how ticket items are sorted: by the order they were entered, alphabetically, or by category. When sellers choose category sorting, items are grouped visually on the ticket by the item's reporting category, so cooks find what they need in a consistent spot.

Staff combine multiple tables into one group directly from Square Point of Sale during service, moving the tables together on the floor plan and updating the table number even after an order has been placed. Merged tables share a single bill, letting teams manage large parties or flexible seating without switching to Dashboard.

In Real Time Check View, a live cart panel sits alongside the item details screen in Food & Beverage modes, showing price, modifier and quantity changes as each item is configured. Tap an item once to open its configuration, press and hold to select multiple items for bulk actions like comp, void, move or remove, or enter custom amounts from the Actions tab since the calculator keypad has been retired.

Sellers create their own inventory adjustment reason types, such as shrinkage, damage or theft, instead of choosing from a fixed list. Custom reasons appear in inventory history, making it easier to categorise and track stock losses by cause.

Sellers can set a future available count to ensure the system reflects the right quantity at a specific time – whether an item is sold out and being prepared again, or currently available and being planned ahead. This count can also repeat on a daily or weekly basis to support workflows where items are regularly prepared in batches.

Servers can begin and save a table after entering a guest count, even before adding items to the bill. The table stays occupied on the floor plan from the moment guests are seated, keeping table status accurate during service.

Item listing status labels now use "hidden" and "not hidden" to control whether an item appears in Shop All and Order Online pages on your Square business website. Hidden items can still be purchased via direct link or added to featured items or sections on your website. This toggle appears under Channels in the item edit sheet, or as "Hidden status" when bulk editing. This replaces the previous "Hidden" and "Direct link only" labels — there's no change to how the setting works.

Set receipt font size to small, medium, or large on a per-station basis for easier reading by customers and staff.

Square Point of Sale plays a tone through the device speaker when a card payment is declined, making declines easier to hear in noisy or busy environments. Turn the speaker cue on or off and preview the sound from device settings.

Assign a negative price to any modifier option and Square deducts it from the item total at checkout — no manual adjustments needed. For example, set "no cheese" to -£1 and it comes off automatically when a customer selects it.

Hide fulfilment methods that don't apply to your business, like removing Shipments if you don't send orders by post. You can also show a running sales total for a logged-in team member.

Control whether the first variation is automatically selected or manually chosen before the item is added to a bill. This setting operates independently of the Skip customisation when possible option.

Turn on a full-screen alert with a looping chime that plays on Square Point of Sale when an online or third-party marketplace order arrives. The alert repeats until a team member acknowledges it. Adjust alert duration, sound and on/off state per device in settings.

A setting on Square Terminal allows you to print a second itemised receipt at the end of a standard checkout. Enable it per device — it won't apply to your other Terminals automatically.

Set different prices for the same item across multiple locations in a single action instead of one at a time. Price overrides are grouped by item for easier review.

Sync item grids created in Standard Mode from one location to others without rebuilding them manually at each location.

Food and beverage sellers can link their Uber Eats account directly from the Square Dashboard at no additional cost. Uber Eats orders appear alongside all your other orders, including on your KDS, menu changes sync automatically, and sales reports include Uber Eats data. No extra apps or manual steps required.

Staff can add allergens, dietary preferences and custom notes to each seat on an order. These details appear on tickets and the kitchen display so every dish is prepared correctly.

On the Square for Restaurants floor plan (iOS and Android tablets), team members can press and hold an occupied table and drag it onto another table to move the bill. Dragging onto another occupied table prompts a merge confirmation. A passcode or permission is required when moving another team member's bill.

A display setting hides sold-out modifier options from checkout screens so only in-stock choices appear. Those with large modifier lists — like dozens of ice cream flavours — see only available items instead of scrolling through unavailable ones.

Printer profiles can be set to automatically print or skip tickets for entire item categories. New categories added in the future follow the same rules without manual updates.

When setting up a cycle count, you can select a category to automatically add all items within it. This lets you populate your cycle count without selecting items one by one.

Manual discounts support advanced rules including category-based targeting, buy-one-get-one (BOGO) offers and conditional logic. These rule types, previously limited to automatic discounts, can be configured when creating or editing any manual discount.
