What should I test before switching on QR table ordering?

Scan your own table QR code, place a real test order as a guest would, and check it reaches the screen or app your staff watch, with the right table.
- Preview first: Square's guide says to scan the QR code to preview what customers will see.
- Check where orders appear: Square says orders show on the point of sale and can go to a kitchen printer or display.
- Test a dish with options and each payment choice you offer.
- Scan every table's code, not just one.
- Know the switch: Square lets you turn QR orders off and on.
