New bug - “mark in progress” needs to be pressed twice
263538
Firstly, Square has been super helpful and I love all the features and how easy to use it has been. Thank you!One minor bug that I noticed recently is that when I mark online orders as “mark in progress” it prints for the kitchen, but then stays marked in progress until I press it again. Then a second ticket prints in the kitchen. I can deal with this when it’s slow and I can catch duplicate orders before they’re made but when it’s busy we end up with several duplicates of the same order because they’re marked in progress twice.Can the developers look into this bug please? Thank you!

Easy to use

Easy to use,love the layout only complaint is I wish there was a way to full turn offline mode on so even if there is a little service it will just stay in offline mode as we do some jobs where there is spotty service and it will keep trying to go online but not enough service to process cards. We are a food truck and have had a few jobs where we had to turn people way cause we could run cards at all. So please make a button to fully turn on offline please

Needs help from people who are in restaurants

Have used square for restaurants for two years. Their service tes, gives the run around on bugs. I wish they could provide an avenue for our servers/bartenders to input orders and have them on a true hold. Squares version puts items on hold but still sends a ticket to the kitchen. They’re fire button then sends a second ticket to fire the ticket on hold. It would be much easier for items on hold to not be sent to the kitchen and needing a fire ticket. Items on hold should stay in the computer and not sent as a physical ticket. Square has said this is impossible to figure out and can only use a multi-ticket fire sequence. Every other platform is able to do this but square will not take any effort to make this sequence happen
