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 also receive access to new features, including:
Easier screen scanning with new order ticket colour-coding by fulfilment type.
Custom routing to prep stations to customise your order and item flow.
The ability to filter tickets to appear on certain screens based on item category or order dining options.
Complete tickets at a single station with one prep station at a time instead of all at once.
Format control over printed tickets to decide on font size and layout for tickets that print from your KDS screen.
You can also join the Square KDS Beta Community to test new features before they are released to general availability.
