[Early Access] Open Tabs for Online Ordering Profiles: try it out and share your feedback

RazakM — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 17:44:48 GMT

Hi F&B folks! 👋

We’re excited to share that Open Tabs for Online Ordering Profiles is now available in Early Feature Access!

What it is

Open Tabs lets customers start a tab from their Online Ordering Profile, continue adding items throughout their visit, and pay when they're ready to close out. Staff can view and manage the same tab from Square Point of Sale, making it easier to serve dine-in guests without interrupting the ordering experience.

We’re looking for restaurants, bars, coffee shops, bakeries, and other F&B sellers to try it out and share feedback with our team.

To get started:

Head to Early Feature Access in your Square Dashboard and install Open Tabs for Ordering Profiles
Go to Online Ordering → QR Code Ordering and enable “Allow dine-in customers to open a tab.”

You'll need to be on a Square Plus or Premium plan and have Online Ordering Profiles enabled.

Since this is an early feature, your input directly shapes where it goes next. Share your feedback here throughout the beta — what's working, what isn't, and what you'd like to see improved 🙌.

Hello @RazakM . I activated the beta in early access, but when I try to go to the settings, I am seeing this request to upgarde. I have Square Plus currently, although if you could update me to Square Premium @tranguyen , I would appreciate it. (I'll send you a DM about this).

Is this an error since I'm on Plus currently?

Hi @SVLFever It looks like you’re currently on our legacy Plus plan (i.e Square for Restaurant/Retail Plus and Square Online Plus) rather than the new plan listed here: https://squareup.com/us/en/pricing.

You’ll need to migrate to the new plan if you’d like to switch over. I believe your account rep should be able to help you with the migration.
