Hi Community! Some exciting news to share if your business is all about food -- Square for Restaurants just launched! Square for Restaurants is our built-from-scratch platform solution that streamlines your entire restaurant operation. By having your software, hardware, and payments in one place, your front of house, back of house, and office needs are all taken care of. Let’s take a look!
Features:
- Menu Management
With Square for Restaurants, you can easily upload all of your existing menus into your Square Dashboard or create brand new menus right in your Dashboard.
- Table & Floor Management
With your menus uploaded, it’s time to build out your table map. You have the ability to build a floor plan to mirror the physical layout of your restaurant. You can set reminders for your staff to check in on tables and easily assign tables to specific staff members. Now you’re ready to take payments with Square for Restaurants!
- Check Management
Check Management is a unique feature to Square for Restaurants that allows you and your team to manage the flow of checks both in and out of the kitchen. It’s designed so that you can easily group items, add additional items, and let your kitchen know when to hold or start firing dishes. You also have the ability to split payments between multiple cards and/or tender, settle payments with a tip, and have improved functionality for managing checks.
- So much more!
