“Restaurant work is so fast-paced that you need to make things efficient wherever you can. Square bundles everything together — sales reporting, employee timekeeping, and more. That means employees can focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences.”
— Chef Edgar Rico, Co-Founder of Nixta Taqueria, Austin, TX
“Square helps us plan the future of our business by — it’s going to sound weird — not really having to worry about it. I worry so little about our POS system. I have so many things going wrong all the time and not having it be our POS is amazing.” — Ryan Nosek, Founder of Ghost Town Brewing, San Francisco, CA
“We integrated Square in one day. It was very intuitive. That was really the key. I loved how simple it is to implement and how scalable it is. One location, five locations, it doesn't matter.” — Alex Donley, Co-Owner of Gioia’s Deli, St. Louis, MO
“Square has helped simplify things for us, from training to daily operations to efficiency. Everything is integrated. We see the same information everywhere we look.” — Omar Nazihi, Vice President of Operations, The Kebab Shop, San Diego, CA
