Frequently Asked Questions

Does Square have a QR code ordering system?

Square offers basic QR code ordering through Square Online, but it has limitations: no per-table routing, limited branding control, and no third-party delivery integration. Ogent adds those capabilities on top of your Square account, so all payments still process through Square.

Can I use one QR code for both dine-in and online ordering?

Yes. Ogent uses a single menu — synced from your Square catalog — for all channels. Dine-in tables have unique QR codes that tag orders with the table number; your online link uses the same menu without a table assignment. Both route into Square the same way.

How do I generate a Square QR code with Ogent?

After connecting your Square account, Ogent generates printable QR codes for each table or location from your dashboard. You can download them as PDFs, print them on cardstock, or use tent cards. No design tools needed.

Is this different from Square's native QR ordering?

Yes. Square's native QR ordering goes through Square Online and has limited customization. Ogent is a separate ordering layer: richer per-table routing, custom branding, delivery integrations, and advance scheduling — all still paying through your Square merchant account.

Do I need new Square hardware for QR code ordering?

No. Ogent works with your existing Square terminals, KDS screens, and receipt printers. QR orders appear as standard Square orders — nothing changes on the hardware side.

Which QR systems work for both in-person and online sales?

Ogent does. Your Square QR codes handle table-side and takeout in-person; the same menu is accessible via a direct link for online orders. One catalog, one reporting view in Square, two channels.

Can customers pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay via QR code?

Yes. Ogent uses Square's payment infrastructure, so customers can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any card — directly from their phone after scanning the QR code.

How do I update my QR code menu?

Update your catalog in Square and Ogent syncs the changes automatically. You never need to reprint QR codes — the code stays the same, the menu behind it updates.
