[New] Restaurants POS, redesigned with you in mind: Opt in today

[Hadley]

Hi sellers,

We’ve redesigned the Square Restaurants POS to make it easier to navigate and stay productive throughout service. This redesign includes highly requested features and a new look and feel,
and we’re excited to share it with you! 

Now you can…

• Add images to your POS menu to find items faster and speed up order entry.

• Add a customer’s profile to the order within the cart to get easy access to insights like frequently purchased items.
  
  
• Get faster access to common POS actions from the Checks, Floor Plans, or Orders page on your POS.
  
  
• Quickly and easily get to the features and reports you use the most with improved, customized navigation.
  

  Starting today, you can opt into these changes via Release Manager, a new tool in Square Dashboard that lets you turn on big changes during the opt-in period. We encourage you to turn on new features on one or more of your devices soon, to have plenty of time to train your team on these changes before the redesign is automatically enabled on all of your devices. 

  Opt into these new features between now and February 20, 2024. Starting February 20, the redesign will automatically appear on all of your POS devices. 

  Visit Release Manager to opt into the redesign →

Looks great, although I'm struggling to work out how to add an "item count" to a dish from the till. Previously, I could set a quantity remaining, and have a visible counter on each dish, and now I can only mark an item "available" or "unavailable" from the long-press menu.

Setting a stock on hand figure from the item's settings doesn't show a counter, and this isn't a menu I want employees to be able to access during shift. This feels like a valuable feature that's present in the old version, currently missing from the redesign.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi @AbistrobySea 🙂 I'm glad that you like the redesign so far. 

I just tested, and I can't seem to locate this function either. I have reached out to our Square for Restaurants team for some insight here and I'll let you know once I know more.

We second this!!! The "remaining items" feature was huge for us and now leaves a big hole in our existing workflow. Hoping to see this feature make its way into this update soon!

[AbistrobySea]

Hi @Breffni , any update on this feature? We're still sorely missing this functionality!

Hi @AbistrobySea, 

We don't have an update yet. I'll reach out to the team and let you know once I have an update. 

Thanks for your patience!

[Breffni]

Hi @AbistrobySea, thanks for bearing with us. 

This feature will be available again, I don't have a specific time that I can share, but it is in the works. I understand the disruption this is causing in the meantime. 

If you would like, I can request that our Restaurant team revert you to the old app experience until this feature is available on the new version. 

Let me know if you would like to proceed with that.

Hey, just been on the webinar but missed the first 10 mins! Any chance we can have the YouTube link for the video tutorial please 😊

[Breffni]

Great question @DonnaHSS - let me find out if we plan to post the recording. I'll let you know when I know more 🙂

The re-design is so much fresher and more user intuitive.

I notice that some elements are still under the old design, popups for Modifiers & Options for example.

Is there a plan to bring these in-line with the new design scheme?

Hi @SimonH, thanks for posting!

I haven't heard anything about the redesign of other features for the moment. We'll be sure to update our sellers on the Product Update page!

[Hadley]

Hi there - I'm reaching out from our Product team. The modifier selection screen should be in the new design UI as well. Would you mind sharing a picture of the screen(s) you are talking about specifically? Thanks! 

[SimonH]

Hi Hadley

Sure thing, I've attached a short screengrab to show what I mean. It's mainly just aesthetics more than function.

Thank you for sharing. This should be updated in version 6.36+. Please make sure your iPad app is updated but let me know if you are still seeing this screen after updating your POS app version. 

[SimonH]

Slightly embarassing!

Update has done the trick!

Thanks 😎
