Split a single item

[HowToSplititems]

Allow us to split an item on a check. This used to be annoying, now my staff are using it as a way to steal from me. I will be switching to Toast if there is not a fix soon. This SIMPLE feature that is basic on every other restaurant POS has been requested for years.

I am very concerned about a roadmap for seeing this feature implemented. 

We are a gathering place that offers many expensive bottles of wine, in addition to shared apps, and the inability to split individual items is a huge drawback. We are considering switching to Toast for this reason alone, as it is a huge drain on our flow of service and adds inaccuracies to our product tracking.

We are currently scheduled to meet with Toast in 3 weeks, please let us know as soon as you know when this feature will be rolled out. I'm seeing archived posts of this feature being requested as far back as 2018, and every POS system I've used for the last 15 years has already had this feature from the start. Thanks!

This is hitting us hard too. This feature needs to be mapped out soon or I will be forced to start looking again for the locations I have and we’re not small we do over a mil in processing.

I have seen previous threads asking this question, I am hoping there may be an update.

Is there a feature that splits a table by the seat number at the end of the transaction, or do we still manually have to split tickets by seat by selecting every item individually?

I havent heard anything yet, but I’m still praying this is added 🤞🤞

That's a real bummer. We are in the process of upgrading to Square for Restaurant for a few reasons, but without this feature my staff still have to take extra steps to effectively split tickets at the end of a transaction. Every second counts, and this would be a big time saver. Thanks so much for your reply!

Welcome to the Community, @Lockport. 

Thank you for reaching out about an update about being able to add split checks by seat. At the moment, manually splitting the check by items and assigning it to a person. 

I have merged your thread to the our thread on Ideate, so you can stay in the loop on any changes. 

[HowToSplititems]

Yeah, this is insane. Square wants you to waste every second of your life possible.  

[Lockport]

This is literally the one thing that could be the difference between us sticking with Square or not.

Hey there, @HowToSplititems - 

Appreciate you bringing this over to the Ideate Board. I found another old thread with this same request, so I have merged it with your post. This will show our Product Team how long this has been wanted by our sellers. 

If anything should change with this request, we will come back to update the status & provide more information.

I will be bringing this up in my phone conference at square this feature needs a good answer and not just that’s it’s not on the roadmap I feel engineering is out of touch with what restaurants need and want. The newest features that are out are nice but there not the major pain points we have been patently waiting for.
