Square for Restaurants
The fast and simple table management system
Make it easy to stay on top of everything to do with your tables. From taking bookings to managing turnarounds to organising service, you can do it all easily with the table management system from Square.
Build your restaurant floor plan with intuitive click-and-drag layouts.
With the table management system from Square it’s easy to create a floor plan. Just select each part of your restaurant (e.g. bar, kitchen tables, etc.), click on it, drag it into place and release the mouse. Once the items are on the grid, you can move them around in the same way. If you need to rearrange your tables, you can easily update your floor plan accordingly.
Keep tables turning by monitoring their real-time status.
Ensure no table gets forgotten by monitoring its colour-coded status in real time. Take steps to encourage slow diners to speed up or move in quickly when people finish earlier than you’d expected. Either way, be ready to move straight in on turnaround as soon as the tables are free.
Instantly send orders from the kitchen and let them know when to hold or away dishes.
Keep on top of your food prep to keep tables moving. For absolute maximum efficiency, use Square for Restaurants in tandem with Square Kitchen Display System to keep view of all tasks and their priority.
Manage the speed of service by holding some courses back from the kitchen while that table orders another round of drinks and then away the courses when they are ready.
Book more business with a restaurant reservation system.
Manage table reservations with minimal effort with Square and integrate with OpenTable.
Easily access and view your floor plan, table and coursing information from within your Square account and customer booking data from OpenTable at the same time.
