Get Started With Square For Restaurants

 

Cloud-Based Or Locally-Installed

As with all of Square’s software, Square for Restaurants is cloud-based, and your account and data are accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Square’s restaurant POS currently only runs on an iPad, but the company plans to make it available for Android devices running 5.0 or later in the near future.

 

Specific Industry

You can probably piece this one together yourself, but I get paid to answer the tough questions. Square for Restaurants is designed to be used…in restaurants. You can certainly use this software for your quick-service cafe or bar, but if you’re not planning on using many of its specialized features for full-service restaurants, you may still be better off with the free Square POS app and some of its add-ons.

 

 

 

Specific Size Of Business

Square for Restaurants works for pretty much any type of foodservice industry. If you’re a smaller operation with limited inventory or reporting needs, you may be able to get by with the original Square POS. I would also hesitate to recommend it for very large or high-volume full-service restaurants, as there are better products on the market specifically geared to handle that type of establishment. Square’s processing fees can add up quickly if you’re making a ton of sales from day-to-day. If you are a high-volume restaurant and love what you see from Square for Restaurants, you’ll want to call for a custom processing quote. However, Square’s wheelhouse continues to be the small to mid-sized market, which this product serves to a tee.

 

Hardware & Operating System Requirements

While Square POS runs on pretty much any relatively current iOS device and many Android devices, Square for Restaurants only runs on an iPad. It’s not even compatible with Square Register (yet). However, Square Terminal, which also runs the free Square POS app, does have some features that are compatible with Square for Restaurants, so you could use Terminal devices in your restaurant without incurring the cost of additional registers.

 

Square sells iPad stands (with the Contactless + Chip card reader included) on its website. If you’re starting from scratch, you can purchase equipment (such as printers and cash drawers) in a variety of hardware bundles from the company, all of which will pair seamlessly with the software. The website recommends an internet speed of at least 25 Mbps for optimum performance. It also suggests running on iOS 10.0.2 to make sure all other hardware will run effectively.

Self-service kiosk

  Payments, Technology The QSR sector has been the quickest to adopt technology such as self-service kiosks, and are so far reaping the benefits Mobile order and payments may be becoming more prevalent in the casual dining sector, but those in the QSR space, such as the fast food giants, have been turning to self-service kiosks and drive-thrus to improve and heighten the customer experience. McDonald’s, in particular, has led the way in self-service kiosks but has since been joined by other groups, including Leon.     Leon began working with Vita Mojo in January 2020 trialling kiosks in its restaurants and they are now the primary in-store sales channel for a number of its sites, which now process 85-95% of all orders digitally.

  SelectedEpos.com, meanwhile, partners with more than 100 strategic technology providers and Crave and Wi5 also say their platforms are designed for easy frictionless integration with multiple third parties, the latter naming businesses including SelectedEpos.com . Designed for speed and simplicity, customers can pay instantly and securely with Visa, Mastercard,  ApplePay and GooglePay. Integration, and having systems that can talk to each other and share data, is at the heart of what technology company Intel is working on. Only by having different technology communicate with each other through the internet of things (IOT) can restaurants really harness the advances that technology can offer. “In the past, if we deployed something in a restaurant everything would have its own silicon, such as POS and digital signage,” says Intel’s Mohideen. “There were also siloed environments and somebody would have to go and build a whole data lake to gather all that information. Now there...
