Caviar partners directly with restaurants to help them expand their dining rooms and reach new customers. Now, to further empower restaurants, select Caviar restaurants may be eligible for funding through Square Loans.
Both Caviar and Square Loans are part of Square, which creates tools that help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their businesses. Square Capital facilitates small-business financing with simple payback and no hidden fees. Over the past two years, it’s helped over 140,000 businesses grow with more than $2.1 billion in financing.
Eligible Caviar restaurants will receive their loan offers via email. The application process takes just a few clicks, and upon approval the funds can be transferred into a borrower’s bank account in as little as one business day. Repayment is simple — pay off your loan with convenient automatic deductions from your linked bank account so you don’t need to worry about missing a payment. You can also prepay at no additional cost.
Funding through Square Loans can be spent on whatever your restaurant needs to grow.
At the beginning of 2017, we asked 7,000 sellers (1) who accepted loans through Square Loans to tell us how they used their funding. Here are the top ways that they used their funds:
- Inventory: Purchasing inventory is a common use case for businesses looking to manage seasonal dips, replenish stock, or try out new products.
- Equipment: It’s common for small businesses to need a loan to fund large purchases like a new refrigerator, an industrial mixer, or a new grill.
- Day-to-day expenses: Keeping the lights on — and things running smoothly — requires both time and money.
- Refinancing or paying other debts: Consolidating debt can be a smart way to use small-business financing, but you should always discuss the options with your financial or legal advisor first.
- Marketing: To grow your business, it’s imperative to get new customers in the door and keep loyal customers, well, loyal. Whether it’s through social media, email, events, or more traditional paid media, marketing could be an effective way to stimulate your business.
Maybe one of the use cases listed above makes the most sense for your business. Or maybe your business would benefit from adding new menu items, entering a new market, or opening a new location. Whatever it is, funding through Square Loans could help you realize it.
