Online Ordering Functions for Mobile Vendors

Online Ordering Functions for Mobile Vendors

I have a food truck and brick and mortar shop. Each have their own location through square but they use some of the same information. 

 

 

 

If I change the location for the truck it changes the store which causes confusion for customers. 

 

 

 

It would be great if there were an option in the square register, for mobile vendors, that I could toggle to the on position, indicating I am open and accepting orders. It would also be lovely if it could use my location data, I don't always have the address for where I am, and confirm it on the online ordering screen, when a customer places their order. A mapping link for the customer to opt into would also be cool. That way they can get GPS instructions if the need them. 

 

 

 

Finally, a quick toggle on and off. Sometimes things don't go to plan, especially in mobile food vending, we run late, or we sell out and need to quickly shut ordering off. It would be great to do it at POS, rather than logging into my account on my phone and shutting it off.

This is 100% an option that should be added to Square Restaurants - I am not in the restaurant business but I know enough that having options to manage inventory for multiple sub locations would be great for a bar or a golf course where they might want to know what the mobile shop has, the side bar has, or any other micro locations inside their establishment. 

This GPS idea is great, mobile groomers could use it, pop up shops

Thank you for taking the time to submit this request @AshleyRae  Our team is working hard on developing the ability to toggle Online Ordering from Square Point of Sale and other applications. This has been a huge request and we understand.

 

No in regards to location tracking, this feature is not currently planned but I would love to see if other Sellers would be interested to have their location tracked via Square Point of Sale when activating "Accepting Online Orders" from Square Point of Sale.

 

To other Sellers: Please make sure to "Like" and Comment on this Feature Request so our product team is able to identify the need for this feature.
