❓ Kick Off Call Checklist

Select your implementation type below. Check off each question as you cover it during the KO call.

🟢 Plus Checklist Active

📎 Slide Deck Template: Plus Kick Off Slides — Make a Copy →

Copy this template before each KO call. Replace the business name on Slide 1 and screenshare during the call.

💡 Team Recommendation: Swap Slides 6 & 7 in Your Template

The original deck has Virtual Sessions as Slide 6 and Import Timeline as Slide 7. I swapped them in my template — and I'd recommend everyone does the same. Here's why:

❌ Original Order

Slide 5: What to Expect
Slide 6: Virtual Sessions
Slide 7: Import Timeline

Problem: You're scheduling training before you've discussed the menu or data. You don't know the build complexity yet, so you can't frame what training should focus on.

✅ Updated Order (Recommended)

Slide 5: What to Expect
Slide 6: Import Timeline ✱
Slide 7: Virtual Sessions ✱

Better: You discuss menu/data first, understand the complexity and scope, then schedule training knowing exactly what to prioritize. The conversation flows naturally: setup → data → schedule.

By the time you get to scheduling, you already know the seller's menu complexity, data needs, and priorities — so you can say "Based on what we just discussed, I'd recommend we focus our training on X and Y" instead of scheduling blind. All the slide cues below follow this updated order.

🖥️ Slide Deck Flow — 8 Slides / 30 Minutes (Updated Order)

1 Welcome
2 Intros
3 Who Am I
4 Success
5 What to Expect

Slides 1–4: Opening & Agenda (5 min) → Slide 5: Hardware/POS (5 min) → Slide 6: Menu/Data/Import (10 min) → Slide 7: Training/Scheduling (5 min) → Slide 8: Wrap-up (5 min)

🎯 Opening Script — Set the Agenda (First 5 min) 14

📋 Walk through slides 1–4 while delivering this:

🖥️ SLIDE 1 — Welcome to Square Onboarding
Show the welcome slide with the seller's business name. Sets a professional, personalized tone.

"Hey [Seller Name], thanks for taking the time today — welcome to Square Onboarding! I'm [Your Name], and I'll be walking you through everything today. Let's make the most of our time together."

🖥️ SLIDE 2 — Introductions
Transition to intros. Keep it brief — you want to learn about them, not pitch yourself.

"Before we get into the details, let's do quick intros — I'd love to hear who's on the call and what your role is in the business."

🖥️ SLIDE 3 — Who Am I?
Establish your role: PM, primary contact, manages the full Plus implementation. Mention recap emails after each session. Reachable via email during business hours.

"So a little about my role — I'm your Project Manager and primary point of contact. I'll manage your Plus implementation from this kickoff all the way through your final session. After each session, you'll get a clear recap email with next steps and resources. Best way to reach me is via email during normal business hours."

🖥️ SLIDE 4 — What Success Looks Like
Frame the outcome. By the end of Plus, they will: feel confident, make progress on priorities, have clear next steps and a support path.

🎯 Purpose of This Call

"By the end of our time together, the goal is for you to:

  • Feel confident in the Square areas that matter most to your business
  • Make meaningful progress on your highest-priority needs
  • Leave with clear next steps and a defined support path

"Today's kickoff is about understanding your business so I can build everything the right way before we get to training."

📋 Agenda — What We'll Cover

"Here's what we'll walk through today:"

  1. Quick intros — who's on the call and what you do day to day
  2. Your current setup — what you're using now and why you're making the switch
  3. Hardware & network — making sure everything's ready to go
  4. Menu & items — how your menu is structured so we can build it right
  5. Go-live plan — your target date and what needs to happen before then
  6. Training & next steps — how and when we'll get you trained up

⚡ Set Expectations

"A couple things I want to be upfront about with the Plus package:"

  • "We have one training session together — either 90 minutes straight or two 45-minute sessions. I want to make sure we use that time on what matters most to you."
  • "I'll be handling your menu build, any data imports, and backend setup — you don't need to worry about that."
  • "After training, I'll send you resources and guides so you're not left hanging — but there isn't a formal follow-up session with this package, so we want to make training count."
  • "Everything I do is by appointment and I respond to emails within 24 hours."

"Sound good? Any questions before we dive in?"

⏱️ Slides 1–4 should take ~5 minutes. Then move into the discovery questions below.

Coverage
0%

👋 Intros + Alignment + Timeline 0/6

🖥️ Still on SLIDE 4 — You've set the agenda. Now transition into discovery: "Let's start by getting to know your business."
"Can everyone briefly introduce themselves and share their role in the business?"
"Can you give me a quick overview of your business and how you operate day to day?"
"You selected the Plus implementation package — does that still sound right for what you need?"
"Our goal is to help you feel confident using the parts of Square that matter most — how does that sound?"
"What is your ideal go-live date with Square?"
"What are you hoping Square helps improve or solve for your business?"

💳 POS (Hardware + Checkout) 0/3 5

🖥️ ADVANCE TO SLIDE 5 — What to Expect
Transition: "Now let's talk about your setup — hardware, devices, and how checkout works today." This slide frames the practical side of implementation.
"Can you walk me through what a typical checkout looks like today and how you plan to use each device?"
"What hardware/devices will you be using, and have they already been ordered?"
"Do you have someone handling the set-up of your cabling and network?"

📋 Menu / Catalog / Data Review 0/5 6

🖥️ ADVANCE TO SLIDE 6 — Import Timeline
Show the import process: "Today we review your files and confirm formatting. After the call, we begin importing up to 3 supported file types. Imports complete in alignment with your training timeline." This is where you dig into their menu/catalog.
"Is everything you sell reflected in the files we reviewed, or is anything missing?"
"Are there any key modifiers, variations, or discounts we need to account for?"
"Are there any changes or updates you expect before go-live?"
"Do you want multiple menus or just one main menu?"
"Do you rely on inventory tracking today, and should we plan for a stock import?"

👥 Staff + Labor 0/1

🖥️ Still on SLIDE 7 — Continue discovery. "While we're talking about your setup, let me ask about your team."
"Will you be tracking staff time or scheduling in Square?"

📂 Categories + Reporting 0/1

"Does your current setup match how you want categories and reporting to work in Square?"

🎁 Loyalty + Marketing + Gift Cards 0/3

"Do you have an existing loyalty or marketing program, or will you be starting fresh with Square?"
"Do you have any gift card data you will need to transfer over to Square?"
"What data should we bring over (customers, inventory, gift cards, etc.)?"

🌐 Online + Fulfillment 0/2

"Do you plan to use Square Online or keep things in-store only?"
"Will you offer pickup, delivery, shipping, or QR ordering?"

🕒 Scheduling + Availability 0/3 7

🖥️ ADVANCE TO SLIDE 7 — Virtual Sessions
Show the training format: "90 minutes of focused training time — delivered as either one 90-minute session or two 45-minute sessions. Topics prioritized based on your goals discussed today." This is where you lock in scheduling.
"What does your availability look like over the next week for training?"
"Would you prefer one 90-minute training or two 45-minute training sessions?"
"Who should attend each training session?"

🏁 Wrap-Up 0/2 8

🖥️ ADVANCE TO SLIDE 8 — What Happens After Today
Close with clarity: "You'll receive a recap email summarizing our discussion and helpful resources. Attend the scheduled session(s) via Google Meet with me. In the meantime, I recommend exploring your Square Dashboard and hardware setup so we can use our training time efficiently."
"Do you have any questions or concerns before we wrap today?"
"Are you comfortable with the timeline and next steps we discussed?"

🏪 Retail Conversation Guide RETAIL ONLY

Use this section during the KO call when the seller is a retail business. Walk through each item to map their data to Square's import format.

"Is your account subscribed to Square for Retail (RTL)?"
This determines feature access — item variations, purchase orders, vendor management, stock counts. If not on RTL, flag with AE.

📊 Column Mapping — Square ↔ Seller's File

"I'm going to walk through the fields we need for your item import. For each one, tell me which column in your file matches — or if it doesn't exist, we'll note that."

Item Name = ?
"What column has your product names?"
Description = ?
"Do you have product descriptions? Which column?"
Category = ?
"How are your products grouped? Department, type, collection?"
SKU = ?
"Do you use SKU numbers? Which column?"
GTIN / Barcode = ?
"Do you scan barcodes? UPC, EAN, ISBN — which column has those?"
Price = ?
"Which column has your retail/selling price?"
Variation = ?
"Do items come in different sizes, colors, or styles? Which columns?"
Default Unit Cost = ?
"Do you track what you pay for each item? Which column has your cost?"
Default Vendor Name = ?
"Do you track which supplier each product comes from?"
Default Vendor Code = ?
"Does your supplier use their own product codes? Which column?"
New Quantity (Stock Count) = ?
"Do you have current inventory counts? Which column has on-hand quantities?"
"Do you need Option Sets instead of Variations?"
Option Sets = shared attributes across many items (e.g., Size: S/M/L/XL applies to all shirts). Variations = unique per item. If they have consistent attributes across products, Option Sets save time.
"Which items or categories do you sell online?"
Need to know what gets published to Square Online vs. POS-only. Some sellers want everything online, some only specific categories.
"Any other special instructions about the file or your catalog?"
Catch-all for anything unique: custom fields, seasonal items, items to exclude, tax-exempt products, consignment items, etc.

1️⃣1️⃣ Project Management Concepts

Key Frameworks

  • Critical Path: The longest sequence of dependent tasks — any delay here delays the whole project
  • RAID Log: Risk, Assumption, Issue, Decision — track these for every implementation
  • Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fill the time available — set tight but realistic deadlines
  • Theory of Constraints: Identify the bottleneck and focus improvement there
  • Reverse Salient: The component that's falling behind relative to others

Agent Philosophy (Embedded)

  • MVP-first: Transact > perfect setup — get seller live, refine later
  • Flow efficiency: Prioritize throughput over keeping everyone busy
  • Timeboxing: Prevent drift with tight but realistic deadlines
  • Risk visibility: RAID thinking on every implementation
  • Trust = system variable: Missed expectations erode trust, which erodes velocity
  • Cognitive traps: Watch for assumptions, false agreement, narrative bias

🎓 DB Training Guide

Square Dashboard Training — DO / SAY / ASK framework. Select Restaurant or Retail below.

Showing Restaurant DB Training
DO — Actions to take
SAY — Suggested verbiage
ASK — Key questions
KO DATA — From your generator
Training Progress0/0
INTRO 1. Call Overview

Introduction

DO: Introduce yourself and greet everyone on the call. Let the seller know that the call will be recorded for quality and training purposes.

Agenda

DO: Ask the seller if they have completed the Account & Settings Checklist. Ensure a bank account and EIN have been added and receipts are set up. Remind the seller of the duration of the session (90 min). Give the seller an overview of what will be covered.

Screen Sharing

DO: Ask the seller if they prefer to screen share and walk through the Dashboard on their own or if they prefer you to share your screen.
CORE 2. Dashboard Home Page / Account & Settings

Dashboard Home Page

DO: Open Square Dashboard and give a quick overview. Display the navigation menu on the left and explain how the seller can customize it.
SAY: "Each time you open Square Dashboard, you'll be brought to this home page. From here, you can access Account & Settings, Items, Staff, Transactions, etc. If you remember the final destination, type it into the Search bar at the top left."
ASK: Any questions on the home page before we dive deeper into Square Dashboard?

Account & Settings

DO: Ask if they had questions while working through their Account & Settings Checklist. Assist with setting up Sales Taxes. Verify they are added correctly.
SAY: "This is your Account & Settings tab which you may be familiar with after completing the checklist. Here you'll update business information like bank accounts, transfers, email notifications, etc. While we're here, let's ensure you've properly added your sales taxes."
ASK: Do you have special tax rules? Do all items have the same tax rate? Do your item prices include tax? If applicable: Do items have the same tax regardless of dining option?
CORE 3. Reliability

Outage Notifications

DO: Walk the seller through signing up for outage notifications.
SAY: "You can receive SMS or email notifications whenever there is a service disruption. Live system updates can always be found at issquareup.com. I highly recommend bookmarking this page!"
ASK: Would you like to set up outage notifications?

Authorized Representatives

DO: Encourage the seller to set up authorized representative(s).
SAY: "It's important to add authorized representatives to your Square account. They can contact Square Support on behalf of your business about sensitive account information and transaction details."
ASK: Would you like any assistance setting up authorized representatives?
CORE 4. Device Management & Device Codes

Modes

DO: Walk through creating ALL Device Modes. Name them distinctly (Handheld, Countertop, Register w/Cash). Cover Checkout and Security settings. Enable offline payments. Highlight: Cash Management, Gift Cards, Open Checks, Time Tracking, Loyalty.
SAY: "To set up a hardware device, assign it to a Mode. A Mode is a specific configuration of device settings. Offline payments allow you to continue processing without internet. We recommend turning this on so you never miss a sale. If you'd like to track seating, ensure Track Seating is enabled."
ASK: Will you be utilizing more than one device Mode? What types of devices will you be using? What will you be using the devices for?

Creating Device Codes

DO: Once Modes are created, walk through creating device codes. Assign to the Modes just created.
SAY: "Now let's create device codes so we can assign those profiles to specific devices. Since you're using Square for Restaurants, ensure you select that when asked. Name this device something you'll remember."
ASK: How many devices do you have to set up? What will these devices be used for? Square for Restaurants or Square KDS?

Service Settings

DO: Walk through all applicable Service Settings: Closing Procedures, Seated Status, Bar tabs/Pre Auth, Menu Behavior, Printed Receipt, Automatic Gratuity, Tip Adjustment, Courses, Instant Payout, Reopen Checks.
SAY: "Service Settings customize your restaurant's workflow. Closing Procedures are actions before running close of day. Automatic Gratuity can be applied based on party-size. Tip adjustment: tips assigned to employee who opened or closed the check. Reopen check allows reopening within 1 hour after closing."
ASK: What closing procedures should employees go through? Do you plan on using a reservation integration? Do you wish to add automatic gratuity? Will you partner with a delivery service?

Printer Profiles

DO: Walk through creating ALL printer profiles. Run a print test or practice order.
SAY: "Printer profiles configure settings for your printers. Printer profile settings are shared across all assigned devices. This can cause multiple copies if more than one profile has order tickets enabled."
ASK: How many printer profiles will you be creating? Do you have any questions about printer profiles?
💡 From KO Call: Check the Generator tab for hardware details discussed during KO.
CORE 5. Menus and Item Settings

Menu Management / Display Groups

DO: Walk through their menu(s). Explain menus are a visual representation of items on the POS, not the item library.
SAY: "Menus are the visual representation of your items within the POS. Items can be added to display groups to help employees ring in items faster. You can have multiple menus (happy hour, brunch) displayed at certain days/times."
ASK: What questions do you have about Menus?
