FAQ
Is Square good for wedding, corporate and event catering?
Yes. Whether you're catering weddings, corporate events or private parties, Square helps you take payments, send invoices, manage staff and keep service running smoothly from one platform.
Can I take deposits and send catering invoices online?
Yes. With Square Invoices, you can send estimates, collect deposits and request final payment online, making it easier to manage bookings from enquiry through to payment.
Can I accept card payments at venues without Wi-Fi?
Yes. You can continue taking eligible payments using Offline Mode¹ when your internet connection is unavailable. Payments are processed when you reconnect, and the offline payments disclosure below explains important limitations.
What is catering software?
Catering software helps you manage bookings, payments, menus, kitchen operations and staff from one place. With Square for Restaurants, you can organise orders, streamline service and track business performance across every event.
How do I manage kitchen orders during a busy catering event?
Route orders, courses and dietary requests to the right prep stations with Square Kitchen Display System. Digital tickets help kitchen teams stay organised across multiple stations and services.
Can I keep track of repeat catering clients?
Yes. Square automatically creates customer profiles as you take payments, helping you keep track of repeat clients, booking history and contact details for future events.
What hardware do I need for a catering business?
The right setup depends on how you work. Mobile devices are ideal for taking payments around a venue, while countertop devices suit prep kitchens and fixed service areas. Compare the full range of Square hardware to find the right setup for your business.
Run every service smoothly with catering software built for events
¹ Offline payments are processed automatically when you reconnect your device to the internet and will be declined if you do not reconnect to the internet within 24 hours of taking your first offline payment. By enabling offline payments, you are responsible for any expired, declined, or disputed payments accepted while offline. Square is unable to provide customer contact information for payments declined while offline. Offline payments are not supported on older versions of Square Reader for contactless and chip (1st generation, v1 and v2).
² Requires a compatible iPad, sold separately.
³ Processing fees and plan availability are subject to change. Additional fees apply for non-UK cards and optional add-ons.
