Is there a customer display feature for the Restaurant POS version?

6thNinja — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 14:35:54 GMT

I am looking to hook up an iPad mini to our Restaurant POS set up as a customer display so they can see the order and go through the prompts to enter info. But after doing some research I do not see that as an option and is only available for the Retail POS version. Has anyone found a way around this other than purchasing the Square Register system?

Thank you Kassi_!

My equipment is 2 iPad Air 4th gen and a Square Bluetooth reader.

I am using the Restaurant POS App with the KDS app and would like to add an iPad Mini as a customer display so our customers can view their transactions and add their email, phone, and etc so we can leverage the customer loyalty program much more. Not to mention using the QR code pay feature would help as well since we are only renting a kitchen of a bar and we want to keep our systems separate.

I read this article but https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/5492-customer-display

Thank you in advance!
