We are excited to introduce our newest feature, forecasted labor costs. Available with any Shifts plan or Retail, Restaurant, and Appointments Plus or Premium plan. 
This is a reminder that Square KDS on iOS is being retired. If you use our kitchen display system on an iPad, please begin your move to Android. 
We’ve redesigned the Square Restaurants POS to make it easier to navigate and stay productive throughout service. This redesign includes highly requested features and a new look and feel,and we’re excited to share it with you! 
We are excited to introduce our newest feature, clock-in geofencing. Available with a Shifts Plus, Retail Plus, Restaurants Plus, and Appointments premium subscription. 
This is a reminder that the Square KDS app will be available only on Android. You will no longer have access to the iOS KDS app at that point. To continue using Square KDS, you will need to migrate any active devices over to Android devices. We’re here to help make your transition as smooth as possible.
Today, restaurant operators and managers create and manage items from their Square Dashboard. Now, with the Items applet, you can manage your items directly from the Restaurant Point of Sale.
We’re excited to share that with Square for Restaurants, you can now identify diners by scanning their barcode or QR code using a physical scanner or camera via the Square for Restaurants app on iPad. This feature helps you know who your diners are, faster, by surfacing their information, preferences, and order history. 
Moving forward, we have decided to shift our product focus to Android. Doing so will allow us to bring you even more functionality, faster. As such, we will only build new KDS features on Android, which means your current experience using Square KDS will stay the same; but your iOS device will no longer receive updates to the app.
