You Can Improve Square Online By Having A “Square Online For Food Trucks”.
Take Food Truck And Other Mobil Businesses Into Consideration By Having A Category Designated For Our Specific Needs Calling It Square For Food Trucks Or At The Very Least Either Posting A Help Section With Work Arounds To Existing Procedures And New Roll Outs
Here Are A Couple Items That Pose Real Issues For Food Trucks
Problem - Pick Up Location, Day & Date
- Pick Up Location - Since The Inception Of Weebly An Address Is Required To Offer Online Ordering. Food Trucks Are In A Different Location Every Day. I Can Only Put One Address/Location At A Time And Often The System Does Not Like The Address I Want (It Has To Match A Legit Business - But I May Be Parked In A Field! Or In A Subdivision But It Will Not Let Me Enter The Sub's Name).
- Pick Up Day & Date - There Is Only One Week Available To Input My Online Hours Without Any Dates Listed. For The Last Couple Of Weeks If I Do Get An Online Order, It Is For A Future Date.
My Solutions
- My Dream - What Would Really Make Me Happy Would Be To Integrate A Calendar So That My Online Ordering Would Coincide With The Dates Address/Locations I Have Listed On My Google Event Calendar. Then The Location Date And Time Would Automatically Populate When A Customer Picks A Date And Time For Their Order
- 2nd Choice - But Only Until You Could Make My Dream Come True -
- Offer A Link Within The Square Reports Menu On The Register App (Using Square On Ipad Stand) That Allows Us To Check Or Change The Address And Date Being Offered To Our Customer's
- Give Us A Customizable Input Section Within The Address That We Can Use Without Having To Match The Postal System
- Let Us Save The Addresses To Reuse | They Could Populate With A Drop Down Where The First Selection Is A New Entry And The Rest Of The Selections In The Drop Down Would Be Older Entrees We Chose To Save By Nickname
- Offer At Least Two Weeks Of Days With A Corresponding Dates To Enter Our Hours So We Are Confident We Are Entering Correct Information.
Combine The Day & Date With The Drop Down Address So We Can Enter Both Manually And Only Have To Update It Once Per Week.
Along With Combine The Day, Date And Drop-Down Addresses
- Offer A Link Within The Square Reports Menu On The Register App (Using Square On Ipad Stand) That Allows Us To Check Or Change The Address And Date Being Offered To Our Customer's
- Give Us A Line On The Address That We Can Customize Without Having To Match The Postal System
Problem – Food Trucks Do Not Have Consistent Access To Electricity Or Wifi To Use A Router
We Want Access To The Cool Stuff Offered With Square Register For Restaurants
- Need For A Credit Card Machine
- Ability For Customer To Verify We Have Rung Their Order Accurately (I Know This Part Is Already Available)
- Ability To See The Tip Screen And Add Tip On The Attachment
- See Loyalty Screen So They Dont Have To Say Their Phone Number Out Loud
- Swipe, Dip Or Tap On It Touch Free For Us
Solution – Program The Square Reader To Link Via Usb To The Square Stands Usb Hub
Problem – The Way An Item Is Displayed Online Is How It Prints
Solution – Have An Input Line On The Programming For Each Item In The Library That Allows Us To Input An Abbreviation For Our Own Use That Prints On The Kitchen Order Ticket The Benefit Would Be Less Printer Paper Used And The Tickets Would Be Easier To Read
Problem – The Order That Items Are Rung On The Ipad Is The Same As They Print
Solution – Program The Ipad So That When You Hit Charge It Refreshes The Screen And Re Organizes The Items Rung By Their Category Or Fire Order And Then In Turn Will Print The New Organized Way Making It Easier/Faster To Get The Orders Out To The Customers
