In this article, you’ll learn how to navigate the Square Terminal inside Stampede, view your menu, manage orders, and use AI recommendations.
Who can use this?
This feature is available for venues that have connected their Square account to Stampede. If you haven’t connected Square yet, please follow our Connecting Square Terminal guide first.
Menu Overview
When you open the Terminal, you’ll see a menu of your items, organised into categories with icons for easy recognition.
⚠️ The categories shown in the example below are for illustration only. Your Terminal will display categories and items that are specific to your own menu.
Example categories might include:
🛍️ All Items – view your entire product catalogue
☕ Coffee
🍽️ Dessert
🍷 Pizza
🍹 Signature Cocktails
🍷 Wine – Red Wine
☕ Wine – Rosé Wine
👉 Simply select a category to browse items and add them to an order.
Orders Section
Below the menu, you’ll find the Orders panel. Here you can see:
All Orders (summary view)
Active Orders – orders currently being processed
Completed Orders – successfully closed orders
Cancelled Orders – voided or cancelled orders
Each order shows:
Table number (e.g., Table 1)
Order reference (e.g., Order #GSTXZY)
Timestamp (when the order was placed)
Status (e.g., IN PROCESS → KITCHEN)
Item count and total value (e.g., 6 ITEMS – £373.40)
This makes it easy to track what’s happening at a glance.
AI Recommendations
Stampede’s AI-powered engine suggests popular or personalised items:
Recommendations appear under AI Recommendations.
Items are based on time of day, customer preferences, and popularity trends.
Example: ABSOLUT Vanilla £12.00 (Recommended).
This feature helps upsell items and speed up service.
Final Notes
The menu displayed in your Terminal will always reflect your Square menu items not the examples shown above.

Select Configure Payment Device if prompted before processing card payments.
The Cart must contain items before you can complete a transaction.
You now understand how to use the Square Terminal within Stampede from browsing your own menus to managing orders and making the most of AI recommendations.
