Hey @BECCACAFE, nice to see you again in the Seller Community.

It sounds like you may have disabled Gift Cards as a payment type, to re-enable it you would need to the Square Point of Sale app, rather than the restaurant's app.

If you don't have the Point of Sale app, here it is for Apple & Android.

From the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen, tap More.

Tap Settings > Checkout > Payment Types.

To rearrange, drag and drop by tapping the three horizontal lines next to the Payment Type name.

After that try signing out and back into your Restaurants app.

I hope this helps!
