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.

Sellers with accounts deactivated for compliance reasons can submit an appeal directly from the Square Support Portal. The self-serve appeal flow lets you provide additional information for Square to review your case without needing to contact support.

You can assign custom text colors to modifiers so they stand out on your Kitchen Display System. Colors are configured per modifier from the Modifiers page in the Items section of Square Dashboard.

Ticket numbers automatically reset to #1 before each business day. The reset fires 15 minutes before your configured opening hours, or at 4 AM if business hours aren't set. The existing max-value reset (at 100 or 1,000) still applies, so tickets reset on whichever trigger comes first: time of day or max reached.

Dark mode is available across all Square Point of Sale apps on iOS, not just Food & Beverage. The updated color scheme matches market design standards for improved readability in low-light environments such as bars, theatres, and spas.

A modal prompt appears in Square Dashboard for sellers who have team members but haven't designated Authorized Representatives. The modal supports multi-select, so you can assign multiple team members as Authorized Representatives in a single step. Authorized Representatives can contact Square Support on behalf of the business.

Kiosk mode includes a dedicated settings experience where you can manage device groups, assign menus, configure branding, and control individual kiosk devices. All kiosk configuration lives in one place rather than requiring navigation across multiple settings screens.

Sellers using courier-powered delivery through Online Ordering Profiles can set a custom delivery radius for orders fulfilled by couriers such as DoorDash or Uber Direct. The seller-defined radius takes priority over the courier's default serviceable area. This setting is configured in the delivery settings within channel controls.

Drive-Thru supports the full drive-thru journey from arrival through handoff. It includes automatic order numbering, a dedicated Drive-Thru fulfillment method, device-level fulfillment settings for front counter and window devices, and integration with Order Confirmation Systems (OCS) from The Howard Company for digital menus and real-time order updates. Drive-Thru is available on the Restaurants Premium tier.

If captcha verification fails during login, you can verify your identity through a magic link sent to your email address. This provides an alternative way to access your account without being blocked by false-positive captcha results.

The revamped online ordering page consolidates QR code ordering, brand controls (Cashtag, logo, color, About section), menus, pickup and delivery settings, taxes, service charges, and store policies into a single management screen. A persistent mobile preview displays brand changes before you publish.

The item details screen in Square Point of Sale supports integrated scale workflows for weighing items at checkout. Scale connectivity is available across all Square POS modes: Standard, Retail, Quick Service, Full Service, Bar, Bookings, and Services. Weight-based items can be measured and priced directly from the item details view.

Manual discounts support advanced rules including category targeting, BOGO conditions, and conditional logic. These rule types, previously limited to automatic discounts, can be configured when creating or editing any manual discount.

Automatic discounts display and apply across menu, item, and cart views in web and app-based ordering. Sellers configure discount rules (percentage off, dollar off, BOGO, or time-windowed promotions) once, and eligible discounts apply at checkout without manual intervention.

Food and beverage sellers using Square Point of Sale in Standard mode can open bar tabs with card preauthorization. When a customer opens a tab, POS places a hold on their card and releases or adjusts the final amount when the tab is closed.

The automatic Cash App Pay QR code no longer appears on the customer-facing display of Square Register or Square Stand. Cash App Pay remains available as a payment method when selected as a tender during checkout, at which point customers can scan and pay as usual.

You can customize printed ticket density and font size on both iOS and Android. Compact ticket mode tightens spacing to fit sticky labels and reduce paper usage. Font size options let you adjust text readability for kitchen staff. These settings apply to tickets printed from Square Point of Sale, including online orders.

Team members with the Team Management permission can edit all staff profiles, including Authorized Representative profiles. Account owners can delegate day-to-day staff management without needing to make those changes themselves.

Group ordering lets multiple buyers in the same party place individual orders that consolidate into a single kitchen ticket. Each buyer pays individually while the kitchen receives one combined ticket per group.

Square Point of Sale for Food & Beverage supports structured fulfillment workflows for pickup, delivery, and dine-in orders. You can capture recipient name, phone number, and address in the cart, and those details print on kitchen tickets and receipts. Paid POS orders appear in Order Manager with status tracking and the ability to text diners when their order is ready.

A "Popular items" section appears at the top of your online menu, surfacing your best-selling items based on order history. The section updates automatically as sales patterns change. You can turn it on or off in Online settings.

Real Time Check View displays a live cart alongside the item configuration screen in all Food & Beverage POS modes. As you add or edit modifiers, quantities, and prices, the cart updates in place without requiring a screen switch. You can also multi-select cart items to perform bulk actions like comp, void, move, or remove.

You can require deposits on a per-service basis when clients book appointments. Each service in your catalog 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.

You can create a UPS account and purchase UPS shipping labels directly from Square Dashboard at discounted rates. No separate UPS account or third-party integration is required.
