Hi sellers 👋
Today we launched support for Connected Terminal on Square for Restaurants! With this feature, you can use a Terminal as a customer-facing display connected to your iPad POS and make it easier for your customers to pay so you never miss a sale.
Wirelessly connect Square Terminal with your Square for Restaurants POS app on an iPad—this is most useful for bars and restaurants with a till that is out of reach of customers. Connected Terminal will allow you to place the order in the till behind the counter or bar and bring the handheld Terminal to the customer to process the payment. With Connected Terminal, you can view and pay for existing orders, but you cannot take new orders.
Connected Terminal helps you give your customers more visibility when using an iPad POS by showing them the items included in the order and being able to print the receipt.
We hope this helps you provide an exceptional experience to your customers.
