Ticket numbers automatically reset to #1 before each business day. The reset occurs 15 minutes before your configured opening hours, or at 4 AM if opening hours aren't set.

Service-level deposit settings for appointments

14 May 2026
Appointments, Payments

You can require deposits on a per-service basis when clients book appointments. Each service in your catalogue has its own deposit policy and amount, so higher-value or longer services can carry different deposit requirements than shorter ones. Deposits help protect against no-shows by collecting partial payment at the time of booking.

Time-based availability for menu groups on Square Online

14 May 2026

Square Online supports time-based availability at the menu group level, not just the menu level. Within a single menu, you can set hours for specific menu groups for easier dayparting (e.g., lunch versus dinner service) or time-based specials like happy hour and limited-time offers. If you use time-based categories such as "Lunch" or "Happy Hour," they display on your Square Online site according to their scheduled hours without requiring separate menus for each time window.
