About dining options
When you’re processing a sale on the Square Point of Sale app or Square Restaurant POS app, you can note whether customers are dining in, taking their items to go, or requesting delivery.
Your selected dining option will appear in the following places:
Customer receipts
Order tickets for the kitchen and KDS (Kitchen Display System)
In-app sales history
Advanced reporting and downloadable CSVs from your Square Dashboard
Before you begin
You can create a total of ten dining options.
Dining options are saved to your item library and not to any specific device.
Dining options aren’t available for online orders placed from your online store or third party orders. Online orders use fulfillment types.
