Is it possible to have multiple Square registers each able to print itemized receipt at festival?

For a 1 day festival with a few different points of sale all being funneled to the same account, is it possible to enable 5 different Square Terminals that can each print an itemized receipt? For example, 2 for food, one for bar, one for kids' area, one for art activity?

I believe what you have in mind is possible - there's an organization in our town that puts on a 3 day event and they probably have 30 stations + setup for ticket and mug sales - they use Square Stands with iPads and Square's POS App.  They only accept credit card transactions - no cash which makes it easier for the volunteers.  They don't provide paper receipts - just email receipts as this is faster and more efficient and no extra hardware to deal with.   You also may need to think about user access and permissions for your cashier stations.

 

From one of my other posts - Having multiple people help out can sometimes be a challenge - suggest looking into Square's Team Management feature as you can assign specific permissions to individuals.   Here's some info on getting started.   One tip, you could create one generic account using a Gmail email address, verify the account and then assign Cashier permissions.  The generic account would be easier on you rather than creating an account for each of your helpers - no need to deal with additional issues down the road.

Thanks for responding @JK_Fiber_Art. One reason I asked about paper receipts is for the food areas specifically. Our idea is to have two folks taking orders and payment, then handing itemized receipts to runners who will gather all the food items for them. Also, you bring up a point about cash.  It can be an issue, some folks will want to pay in cash! I'm thinking only 1 person should handle the cash, but then we still need to figure out details of how to give them an itemized receipt to hand to the runners for food pick up. This is a first time festival for us so everything needs to be created from scratch.
