What service is best for concessions?

MamiesToffee — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 14:35:18 GMT

We run a concession business during the summer months and in winter we do craft shows. We bought a bus for our concession business to make it more mobile (no more tent set up). Our concession is a fast pace turnover, but we need to track sales. I need an option to offer a qr menu for our customers as they wait in line or just to look over the selection we have. Any suggestions or thoughts on the matter.

Hi @MamiesToffee - Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Square Seller Community👋😊

We actually have a feature that does exactly what you're asking for here! It's called Self-Serve Ordering. This feature allows customers to scan a printed QR code that will direct them straight to your website so they can browse your menu or even place an online order on their own.

I'm also tagging a fellow Super Seller who has a food truck business to see if they have any feedback or suggestions for you as well, in terms of setup @Anthem.

I hope this information is helpful but please do let me know if you have any additional questions by replying in this thread!

I don't want to have preordering setup or self-serve ordering for them. I need a menu for a customer to view, so they can be ready when next in line. Does the service cost?

Hi @MamiesToffee!

Stepping in for Alanah here.

We don't really have a feature that does exactly what you need, since our QR codes do allow self-serve ordering.

One thing you can do is create an image of your menu, upload it to your Square Online Store and create a QR code to your Online Store.

Creating an Online Store is free and you can use a QR code generator, most are free as well.

Let me know if that would work for you!
