‘We can simply open the Square app on our phones and assess the performance across thirty locations. We know which products are working and not working in real-time. This enables us to scale while maintaining the same level of attention to detail we had when we operated just one store.’

‘There was a very strong alignment between what we wanted our guest experience to be, and the hardware and software that Square provides. There was an aesthetic reason as to why we went with Square, and that was the beauty and minimalism of the design. It seamlessly integrates into our restaurant setting.’

‘Since Square has introduced a waitlist option it’s made running our columns a lot more efficient. When people try and cancel last minute, they are usually quite difficult appointments to refill. But having the waitlist available and automatically sending a text out to these people on the waitlist is another issue we don’t have to worry about.’

‘Square has allowed our customers to view products and prices being scanned in real-time, creating a seamless transaction with an option for shoppers to receive their receipts digitally – a feature that aligns with our eco-conscious clientele.’

How does buy now, pay later work?
Buy now, pay later (BNPL) is a payment option that allows a customer to pay for a purchase over time in instalments while merchants get paid in full upfront. With Afterpay, Square merchants can let customers pay in four interest-free instalments over six weeks.
