Self ordering Kiosk Cash Payments

We are trying to use Square kiosk, we recently paused our subscription with Kiosk buddy.  One of the features we need is the cash option at checkout. It is very frustrating to have a customer enter their complete order and then have to assist them by entering the entire order over with Square restaurant. Why is this option so difficult and will it ever be available?

@Conshiniaf I understand exactly what you are wanting.  I think the current model is the most efficient as it is completely stand alone and they can pay with card/cash app/etc etc.  The purpose of the kiosk is to give you that extra cashier/body that you don't have to hire or speed up your line when you are really busy.

 

What I recommend is a little label or sign that directs cash payments to order at the counter.  I think this is one of the niche areas where a separate square app marketplace 3rd party integration would work better for you.  I used to be big on cash in some of my locations, but as time has went along, no one has a problem with just using a card.
