@Willy2guns The pre-authorization for tabs in square for restaurants does just this:

If a check has a preauthorization associated, the preauthorized card will be the first payment method listed during checkout. If the customer asks to pay their tab by using a split tender payment, the preauthorized payment can only be used for one of the split payments. To complete a preauthorized transaction:

From the Square Restaurants POS app navigation menu, tap **Checkout**.
Tap Pay > choose the top **Pre-authorize [Card ####]** option. "

You always run the risk the card could be declined because they don't have enough credit, but you only need the card in the beginning here.
