Can I continue using my current square pos while I upgrade and play with square for restaurants?

Hope this response finds you well, @Bel13b!

Up until a couple of weeks ago we were using Square Register to run standard POS.

We also have two iPads floating around the shop as general purpose devices: we could open up the POS app if Register crapped itself, run KDS apps on both, or play around with the Restaurants app on either.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to transition between POS and Restaurants on Square Register on the fly--not without resetting the device completely. And I'm talking a proper factory reset + logging in with a device code.

The really nice thing though is you can continue playing around with Restaurants via the Dashboard before fully transitioning. I spent a lot of time moving blocks around and tidying up my modifiers.

The final push I needed was Restaurant's ability to reinforce conversational workflows and modifier accuracy--of which there are plenty in a takeaway cafe setting! 🙂

We've already seen a marked improvement in how our junior staff take orders!

Thank you that helps a lot! I just don't think I can do it all quickly so wanted to make sure I have the time before I get started

@QuokkaCoffee,

Have you tried going to Settings > Sign Out then sign back in and select a different app? Curious to know if that will work or not work for any reason!
