Migrate to Android from Square KDS on iOS

About Square KDS on iOS deprecation

Square KDS is being retired on iOS, which means you’ll need to migrate your hardware and software in order to continue your team’s access to your kitchen display system. This change means that restaurants that don’t take action are at risk of order prep being disrupted mid-service. Learn more about this product change and how to prepare for it in our Seller Community.

You have the option to migrate your Square KDS from iOS to Android. If you choose to migrate, you’ll get access to features such as custom routing to prep stations to customise your order and item flow and the ability to filter tickets to appear on certain screens based on item category or order dining options.

You can also join the Square KDS Beta Community to test new features, such as: 

• format control over printed tickets to decide on font size and layout for tickets that print from your KDS screen

• Easier screen scanning by adding colour-coding by fulfilment type to order tickets

• Complete tickets at a single station with one prep station at a time instead of all at once
