Can I print all my Square orders at once?

Square Dashboard only lets you print orders one at a time. Receipt printers automatically print each ticket as orders arrive, but don't consolidate them. CafeKit takes a different approach: instead of printing individual orders, it aggregates all your orders into a single production list showing total quantities per item. For bakeries producing in batches, this means one list instead of dozens of separate tickets.

What printer works best with Square for order tickets?

Square supports Star Micronics and Epson receipt printers for automatic ticket printing. These work well for restaurants and cafes that make items to order. For bakeries that batch-produce (baking 50 croissants, not one), individual tickets add up fast. That's why many bakeries pair a ticket printer for front-of-house with CafeKit's production lists for the kitchen.

How is CafeKit different from printing Square order receipts?

A receipt shows one order at a time: 'Order #1234: 2 Croissants, 1 Cinnamon Roll.' CafeKit aggregates all your orders and shows the total: 'Croissants: 47, Cinnamon Rolls: 23.' Instead of counting across dozens of individual receipts, you get a single production list with exact counts per item.

Does CafeKit work with Square Online preorders?

Yes. CafeKit syncs all Square orders including Square Online preorders with future fulfillment dates. If a customer places a preorder for next Tuesday, it appears on Tuesday's production list automatically. Walk-in sales and preorders are separated so you can plan ahead.

How to Print Square Orders

3 Methods for Bakeries & Cafes

There are three ways to print orders from Square: directly from the Square Dashboard one at a time, automatically via a connected Star Micronics or Epson receipt printer, or in bulk using CafeKit's aggregated production lists. For bakeries producing in batches, CafeKit is the only method that shows total quantities per item.

Just need to print your orders in bulk?

CafeKit has a free bulk print tool that lets you print multiple Square orders at once. No sign-up required. If you also need aggregated production totals and demand forecasting, keep reading about Method 3.

Use a Receipt Printer with Square

Square supports automatic ticket printing through compatible receipt printers. Each new order prints as it comes in, which is great for made-to-order restaurants. For a deeper comparison of Square's ticket printing versus production-style lists, see our Square Order Printer guide.

1 Connect a compatible printer (Star Micronics or Epson) to your Square POS
2 Enable automatic ticket printing in Square settings
3 Each order prints a ticket as it arrives

Best for

Restaurants, cafes making items to order

Limitations

Still one ticket per order
You still count items across tickets manually
Requires compatible hardware ($300+)
Not designed for batch production

Use CafeKit for Bulk Production Lists

CafeKit takes a different approach. Instead of printing individual order tickets, it connects to your Square account, pulls all your orders, and shows you a single aggregated production list. You see exactly how many of each item to make for any given date. CafeKit also includes a free bulk print tool so you can print all your orders at once when you need physical copies.

1 Connect your Square account to CafeKit (one-click, read-only)
2 Orders sync automatically every night (or refresh anytime)
3 Pick a date and view your aggregated production list

Best for

Bakeries, cafes doing batch production

What you get

One list with total counts per item
Bulk order printing (free tool)
Preorders separated by fulfillment date
Multi-location support
Demand forecasting included

Example: 15 preorders for next Tuesday

Without CafeKit (15 separate tickets):

Order #1: 2 Croissants, 1 Cinnamon Roll

Order #2: 3 Croissants

Order #3: 1 Croissant, 2 Cinnamon Rolls

... 12 more tickets to count ...

With CafeKit (one production list):

Tuesday Production List

Croissants: 47
