[Early Access] Open Tabs for Online Ordering Profiles: try it out and share your feedback

[RazakM]

Hi F&B folks! 👋

We’re excited to share that Open Tabs for Online Ordering Profiles is now available in Early Feature Access!

What it is

Open Tabs lets customers start a tab from their Online Ordering Profile, continue adding items throughout their visit, and pay when they're ready to close out. Staff can view and manage the same tab from Square Point of Sale, making it easier to serve dine-in guests without interrupting the ordering experience.

We’re looking for restaurants, bars, coffee shops, bakeries, and other F&B sellers to try it out and share feedback with our team.

To get started:

1. Head to Early Feature Access in your Square Dashboard and install Open Tabs for Ordering Profiles
2. Go to Online Ordering → QR Code Ordering and enable “Allow dine-in customers to open a tab.”

You'll need to be on a Square Plus or Premium plan and have Online Ordering Profiles enabled.

Since this is an early feature, your input directly shapes where it goes next. Share your feedback here throughout the beta — what's working, what isn't, and what you'd like to see improved 🙌.

Hi @theabbymh 👋,

Sorry for the delay

It seems like your account isn't classified as Food & Beverage. Could you please contact Square Support and explain that your main location is a bar but is currently classified as a consultant. Ask Support to review and correct the location’s business type/Merchant Category Code.

Mention that the incorrect classification is preventing access to Online Ordering Profiles. Square must verify the business activity before making this change.
