I have multiple types of businesses under my roof (retail, quick service restaurant and full service restaurant) and Square manages all of it, seemlessly. > > **Cons**: The Loyalty and Marketing program is good, but not great. The system does a great job automating text and email sending, but I wish it had a bit more depth on the reporting side. > > It's been great. The system has been reliable and it's easy to use. The cloud based system makes it easy for me to manage my business, even when on the road. ----- ### "It’s Okay, not my favorite" — 3.0/5 > **Clay** | *9 October 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of setting up and contacting customer service. Easy to manage website and make changes. Great device integration. Lower upfront cost, often making updates to improve the product > > **Cons**: Customer service is not always helpful or good with resolution. There’s a fee for almost every additional feature that could benefit the business. ----- ### "Square for Restaurants - The only real POS you can try before you buy for small restaurants." — 5.0/5 > **Donnie** | *19 November 2024* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square for Restaurants is the first Point of Sale that I found that I could fully customize for myself the way I wanted. Help was available if I needed it, but I like to throw away the instruction book and do it myself. I could use hardware/tablets I already had to use the software and the tight integration with the KDS was what I needed. I didn't have to run a bunch of wires to have a printer in the kitchen and a screen. > > **Cons**: My 2 big caveats are the nature of cloud based kitchen display system. If the internet goes down you not only lose the tickets, but the printers won't print from the kds. It is not impossible, but for any pos I recommend a cellular backup for your business. It is necessary. The second thing is there are a few quirks with the system that have gotten updates, I just didn't know when it was going to change. I used to not be able to have photos on the display, but they are making it "prettier" as time goes on. > > So, overall, It is excellent low cost way to get started. Paying for the upgrades is well worth it to manage staff, an online ordering site, and have all the registers and equipment you need. Other competitors are very good too, but the monthly charges for them greatly outweigh the processing of cards cost that square charges. You pick your poison sometimes, but for a small restaurant, it is a no brainer to start out with square for restaurants. Even a multi-location set up like mine really takes advantage of the packaging of services. ----- ### "Square for Restaurants is a solid POS system. Glad its part of our team." — 5.0/5 > **Julie** | *20 November 2024* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have found it easy to manage, pull reports, and manage staff. The online menu options was super nice as well. The new addition of the pre-authorization feature is a GAME CHANGER at our establishment. > > **Cons**: I would like a report that shows me my exact payout of credit card sales less the Square fees for each business day. I know the information is there and I can search for it but would like a page just for payouts. > > It has been a good experience. I have had a few issues with hardware but the support team is helpful. Our hardware takes a lot of abuse as our bar/restaurant is outside so they get unplugged and put away at the end of each business day. ----- ### "Square for Restaurants is amazing" — 5.0/5 > **Sayda** | *17 June 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use and the ability to set up your table settings in your dining area. It is absolutely easy to train new staff on it. > > **Cons**: Switching between tickets and to go orders has to be the most frustrating. As well as adjusting items on entered tickets can be a bit tricky. > > Square for restaurants has been absolutely amazing to use and absolutely easy in all of its reporting and adapta to the constant changes in the food industry. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/183267/square-point-of-sale?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/183267/square-point-of-sale) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
