Square
🆕 Live sales reports in dashboard

Hi sellers!

 

The team at Square is always trying to make things easier on restaurant managers and owners when it comes to making staffing and menu decisions on the fly. We know you’re looking for data at your fingertips to help you understand how the business is doing in real time. Well, I’ve got some great news to share

 

With Square for Restaurants, you can now access your live sales data no matter where you are. Starting today you can get your Dashboard reports from your phone, tablet or computer. That means you can plan your day without having to visit the location, or without calling whoever’s on shift to run the numbers. Not only that, but you can monitor live sales from a different location and easily know when to send a server home early. 

 

Until recently, the only way to see those live sales numbers was to view the reports in the POS in the restaurant. And anyone who works in this industry knows, it’s impossible for managers and owners to be in the restaurant at all times. Many of you are managing multiple locations and hey, once in a while you might just want to step away to spend some time with family and friends. 

 

Well, now the data you need comes to you whenever and wherever you need it. You can filter Dashboard reports so that you’re viewing data related to closed checks, open checks, or all checks. This is most important for full service restaurants where it’s common to have many open tickets. This feature is available to everyone using Square for Restaurants at no additional charge.

This is great for restaurants....

This is amazing to be able to finally see open ticket totals out there without having to go into the point of sale.  Sometimes open tickets are used to hold orders for later for us or to transfer to an invoice!

Will this be added specifically to the Dashboard app?

Square

We are working on that and will have have it available on there soon 👍

 

This is great. Noticed it a while back and have been using it daily. Will an app be forthcoming on Android for those of us who are not on iphones?

What iphone widget are u using to do this?

It wrks online web based login but doesnt work on the iphone app

Well it was working for a couple of months and now it stopped a couple of weeks ago. Jinxed? Lol

it was the ios Dashboard app. Specifically the ios widget for the Dashiboard app. 
i’m assuming it’s a server side change, because I’m betting it wasnt supposed to show open ticket sales (I had selected Net Sales on the widget)
