@Sam_400º correct, yes! SMS texts for order-placed receipts and order-ready status updates are included with any Square Kiosk subscription. To use this feature well, we recommend pairing Square Kiosk with Square KDS to easily view incoming orders and mark tickets as complete.

Id like to sign up for this beta, what do I need to do to enable my account? Any specifics on a release date for the beta?

"To use Square Kiosk, your account needs to be updated to the latest Categories experience. Your account currently is not eligible for the new Categories experience. We’re working quickly to make this available more widely, so you can start using Kiosk soon."
