[Improvement] OpenTable x Square for Restaurants - Reservation Deposits Feature Launch!

[tereselu]

Hi Sellers! 

Square is excited to announce that the Square <> OpenTable integration now supports reservation deposits! Sellers can now automatically apply a guest’s reservation deposits to their final bill from Square POS. 

*️⃣ Important things to note: 

• Reservation deposits feature is only available on the new Square for Restaurants POS. 

• Tipping rates will be based on the entire meal amount, and not the meal amount minus deposit. 

• Deposit refunds should be handled through OpenTable and not through Square.

• Seated Status must be enabled in order for deposits to be automatically applied to the final bill. 

  • When Seated Status is disabled, deposits can only be manually applied to orders once an order for a reservation is manually created on the POS.

If you are an existing seller utilising the OpenTable integration and collecting deposits, please begin using this feature for a smooth experience at the end of your guest’s dining service. 

Mandatory Requirements for Deposits

• Enable Seated Status (for deposits to be automatically applied)

• Must be on the new Square for Restaurants POS

• Must be on OpenTable GuestCenter, Core, and Pro products
