Square Restaurant Trial impact on register

Hello y’all. We are currently using the standard square pos for our register. But our restaurant is growing. We wanted to look into using square for restaurants. We wanted to see if we liked it before we implemented it in our restaurant and more importantly made any changes that would affect the square register. We want to be sure of our decision before we make our employees learn the new system.

Now the question is: Is there a way to go into the square restaurants and play around and not change our current set up? Or does it immediately change once you select square for restaurants. 

Also, for other restauranteurs, have you made the change and did you like it. We have a fast casual restaurant. You order your food at the stand and we call your number and you pick up at the counter. No need for numbering tables or having waiters.

Hello there @ElCampeon

 

One thing I can suggest is if you have an iPad lying around (it doesn't have to be the latest iPad) or maybe borrowing one from a friend, would be the best way to experience it without changing your current setup.

So I can assume that if I have square restaurant on my iPad and start messing with stuff on there, it won’t affect my current experience in my square register. Even if have the same account linked.

Well, you would be able to perform test sales and explore the app. However, any adjustments you make to items, sales tax among other things would be made on your account and they will reflect on your reporting and items.

 

I hope this information is helpful @ElCampeon.

Hello, I tried going into the app but it required a device code. I added a new device and it gave me a device code. When i went to put in the device code, i got s message that that device code was only to be used for the square point of sales app. Not the restaurant app. Is there another way to log in? It only prompts me for the code. There is no option to log in with user name and password.

My apologies for the confusion, @ElCampeon

Thank you so much for your help. Just to be clear if i do not like the experience, can this be reversed. Right?

Yes! You can definitely continue using Square Point of Sale if Square for Restaurant doesn't meet your needs @ElCampeon
