Build combos in Real-Time Check View on Square Point of Sale
A full combo is built and reviewed in one place in Real-Time Check View. Staff move directly to a combo member that still needs an option chosen, or back to one that's already set, and each selection lands on the check as it's made. Combo building uses the same navigation and layout as the rest of Real-Time Check View. Real-Time Check View is on by default for sellers who use combos, with no setup required.
Close of Day reports run on a location's reporting hours
The report window starts at the reporting day start set for the location and ends when the close-out begins. Sales and tips taken inside that window appear on the report, whether or not they fall within posted opening hours. The report header prints the covered time range, and locations without a reporting day use the opening-hours window.
Item edits limited to a team member's assigned locations
In the Square Dashboard Item Library, shared item details — such as name, description and category — are read-only for team members assigned to only some of an item's locations. Availability, location price and sales channel assignment remain editable at the locations a team member is assigned to. Team members can see an item's complete location information either way.
Multi-Account Suite for franchises and multi-location organisations
Square Multi-Account Suite helps businesses stay in control as they scale. Operator teams manage linked Square accounts from Square Dashboard, including shared catalogues, menus, point-of-sale layouts, organisation permissions, and a single gift card programme. Organisation-level reports cover sales performance, gift card reconciliation, and royalties by member account and location. Setup is handled through a Square account manager or the sales team.
Pool tips by percentage for each transaction
A transaction's tip divides among the team members who worked that sale. Sellers choose the calculation period in Square Dashboard under **Staff**, then **Tips settings**, alongside the existing working day and working week options.
Receive stock in cases or pallets
Sellers choose the unit a delivery arrives in from the quantity field in the Stock Adjustment window. Square converts that amount into the unit the item is counted in, so a case received still shows the correct number of single units on hand. Available on Square Dashboard for sellers using Square for inventory.
Reuse an existing printer profile when setting up a printer
Printer setup offers profiles that already work with a connected printer and only creates a new profile when there's nothing suitable to reuse. From the printer's details screen, you can create a profile, choose job types, and select which Square Point of Sale devices print to that printer. Each assigned profile row lists the devices and job types associated with that profile.
Scan barcodes with the iPhone or iPad camera
The camera reads a barcode and either adds the item to the basket or fills in its details when creating or editing an item. In Square Point of Sale, sellers turn on **Camera Barcode Scanner** in hardware settings, then tap **Tap to Scan** on a supported screen. No separate scanner is required.
Connect Apple Business to manage Apple Maps place cards
Business information including hours, logo, and contact details stays in sync across Apple Maps, Siri, Wallet, and more. Connected sellers manage supported place card features in Square Dashboard under Channels, including action links that send customers to ordering, menu, or booking. Available globally to payments-activated sellers with a fixed, physical location or storefront.
Create revenue centres to group and compare sales
A revenue centre represents one part of a business, such as a bar, patio, or delivery channel. Sellers map devices, floor plan sections, and channels to each one, then group the Sales summary report by revenue centre to see how each performed.
Dark mode in the Retail app
The Square for Retail app follows the device's system appearance setting, so it appears dark whenever the device is set to dark mode. A dark mode override keeps the app in dark or light mode independent of the device setting.
Draft tickets on Kitchen Display System before orders are sent
Items appear on a Kitchen Display System ticket as staff ring them into the cart in Point of Sale. The ticket is marked as a draft and updates with each item added. Draft tickets require the setting to be turned on in both Point of Sale and the Kitchen Display System.
Pre-orders for sold-out items
Sellers set a reset date and time when marking an item variation as sold out in the Item Library. The variation remains on the menu as available for pre-order, so customers can order it for fulfilment windows after the reset time. Available to sellers taking orders through Neighborhoods and Ordering Profiles.
Sales report on Point of Sale matches Dashboard totals
The Sales report uses the same gross sales, product sales, and net sales definitions as Square Dashboard, so figures from either report will match. The payment methods section provides a more detailed breakdown of payment types.
Ticket layouts up to 10 columns on Kitchen Display System
Sellers arrange tickets across four to ten columns, set for each display. The setting indicates which column counts suit which screen sizes, with four for small devices and ten for large displays. You can set column counts in Layout settings on the Kitchen Display System or in device profile settings in Square Dashboard.
Customise barcode label layouts on Point of Sale for iOS
Sellers choose which fields print on a label, including item name, SKU, price and supplier information, then adjust sizing and rearrange the content. Layouts are set and printed from the barcode printing options in Point of Sale on iOS. Available to sellers on Square Plus and above.
Dark mode in Invoices
Square Invoices follows the device's system appearance setting, so the app displays in dark mode when the device is set to dark, with no setup required. Sellers who want the app to differ from the rest of their device can set an override in **Settings > Appearance**, and that preference is retained regardless of the system setting.
Drag tickets into a new sequence on Kitchen Display System
Kitchen staff set the prep sequence themselves instead of working tickets in the order they were received. A custom sequence holds until that ticket is completed, and manual ordering applies across main, expo, and station views. On the Kitchen Display System device, go to **Settings** > **Layout**, then set **Ticket sequence** to **Manual**.
Set the modifier sequence on printed kitchen tickets
Each item carries its own modifier sequence, set per item in the Modifiers section of Item Library in Square Dashboard. Tickets printed from Square Point of Sale follow that sequence instead of the checkout sequence, matching the sequencing already available on Kitchen Display System. Only modifiers available on Square Point of Sale follow the sequence. Available to Square Plus sellers on Square for Restaurants.
Set variation preselection and customisation skipping per item
Each item carries two separate settings that control what happens when it's tapped on Point of Sale. **Automatically select first variation** pre-selects the first variation, such as a size, which staff can confirm or change. **Skip customisation when possible** bypasses the item details screen when every required selection is already satisfied. Both settings are found on the item in Dashboard and apply in Standard, F&B, and Retail modes.
Sort kitchen ticket items by seat number
A Seat option in the item sort order prints shared and table-share items first, then remaining items in ascending seat order. Items print as a flat list, with no seat headers or sections. The option applies to Kitchen Display System chits, Kitchen Display System printed tickets, and Square Point of Sale printed tickets on iOS and Android.
Updated Checkout grid with visible cart
The Checkout item grid has a new look, making it easier to find and add items, categories, discounts, and more. The cart updates in real time, and a redesigned item detail view keeps it visible whilst staff choose variations and modifiers. Sellers can turn it off in Square Dashboard under **What's New** > **Early Feature Access**, where one switch covers both the item grid and Live Cart.
Camera barcode scanning on Android devices
Sellers use the built-in camera on Android devices to scan barcodes for adding items to the cart or creating and editing catalogue items. The feature activates by pressing the volume key. It can be enabled under **More** > **Settings** > **Hardware** > **Camera Barcode Scanner**.
Customisable background colours for modifier tiles on Point of Sale
Sellers assign custom background colours to individual modifiers, making them easier to distinguish on the Square Point of Sale screen. Colours are set from Square Dashboard under **Items & Services** > **Items** > **Modifiers** by selecting a modifier set and choosing **Customise** next to any modifier. Both Kitchen Display System and Point of Sale colours can be set from the same screen.
Custom sounds and volume control for Kitchen Device System alerts
The new-ticket alert on Kitchen Display System (KDS) can be set to any notification sound available on the device. A sound picker with preview and a device volume slider appear in the display's Timers & alerts settings, so sellers choose a sound and adjust loudness without leaving the app.
