For parking lot and county fair gives everyone options and equal transactions grounds ----- ### "A seamless staff and guest experience" — 4.0/5 > **Matthew** | *August 3, 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: When taking orders for our guests it makes it easy to choose the options that they want. It is customizable for you to be able to have different options for your menu items. We can add inventory to the system and keep track of what we are selling and what we need to order. > > **Cons**: The software updates often kick off the printer profiles we have connected. We are unable to use the tap to pay on one system after an update last year. > > Overall square is easy to use and setup our staff and guests have a decently seamless experience when we take their orders and payment. ----- ### "Square for Restaurants makes my diverse business operations seemless" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *June 17, 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The vast functionality allows me to run my business the way I need to. 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** | *October 9, 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 POS review" — 5.0/5 > **Charly** | *June 4, 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am using square for restaurant in one of my cafe , it is really simple to get the hang of it , all my staff love it as well , simple and efficient > > **Cons**: they are taking 1.6% of all transaction which adds up overtime , however in exchange they provide a really nice and efficient support , however 1.6% is a bit high > > overall I would say that it is a really good POS , I have switch from BEPOZ to square and I don't regret it a second to be honest ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/183267/square-point-of-sale?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
