Restaurants: Has anyone figured out how to remove names from kitchen tickets?

SaintPerpetuaOR — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 00:12:56 GMT

When kitchen tickets print they display the “owner” of the Square account, which has to be the legal name of the person who set up the account. You have to create a whole new account under a different person to change that, which I definitely don’t have an interest in doing.

But it’s jarring & inconvenient for the kitchen tickets to display my deadname. Has anyone found a way to remove the “owner name” from showing on kitchen tix? Thanks!

Hi Sage, thank you for bringing this up and for explaining why this matters. I can definitely see how the lack of flexibility with this setting would cause unnecessary confusion. I'm sharing your post with the folks on our Restaurants team and I'll be back as soon as I have more clarity. I might not have an update until next week — appreciate your patience on this. 🙏🏻

To add to this, my employees know me by my real name, my chosen name. So it’s unfortunate to have my legal name show up on receipts and have to navigate the question of who that is, especially because it takes the first name. Having our LLC name displayed if need be would be much more convenient.

Hey @SaintPerpetuaOR, I touched base with the Restaurants team and we wanted to be sure — can you sign into the online Square Dashboard and confirm that your restaurant's name is saved in the Personal Information section? For step-by-steps, check out this article: Edit Your Business Name.

If that doesn't clear things up, please send me a private message with an image of the receipts and kitchen tickets. This will help me troubleshoot further and surface to the right team members.
