Can I use 2 iPads?

So I have a square stand with contactless reader. I operate a hot dog cart. when I am busy, I would like to streamline my processing by using a second Ipad.

So, I take an order on the stand, fill the order, tell my customer the amount due, take their card and process it, hand it back after I can see that it went through, spin the stand around and let them add a tip, spin it back around and hit done.

I want to know if I can use a second ipad where I load the order and at the same time my customer sees their order on the stand. they can dip their own card and most importantly, I can see that the transaction accepted, all without spinning the one stand back and forth.

I guess I want the register but already have the stand setup AND a second Ipad.

Is this possible without buying the register?

You can use two ipads but they will work independantly of each other. We use two now and it helps when we are busy to have a second person working to checkout customers. THey are both logged into the same account but you cannot see an in-process transaction of one on the other device. They essentially work as two independant registers.
