Even in group settings you can split the check or have different people add orders to one bill. > > **Cons**: I think as more restaurants go to a digital menu and checkout process I would assume that new features would be added. There is nothing that sticks out in my mind that we have had issues with. > > My experience overall has been positive. I prefer to order where I select what I want and hopefully there is less room for not getting the correct item. It's convenient and saves having to use paper receipts. ----- ### "Square for restaurants" — 5.0/5 > **matthew** | *30 November 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple, out of location (parking lot)with all payment options as interior of brick and mortar > > **Cons**: Fear of multiple transactions and fraud Not sure as to how safe and secure in long run > > Great\! For parking lot and county fair gives everyone options and equal transactions grounds ----- ### "Lost of time and money big impact on small business" — 3.0/5 > **Yuki** | *23 June 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system himself is not bad, when it is working\! > > **Cons**: The customer service and the way they treat the customer and never refund money > > Not bad but would be better if square take responsibility when application not working and refund the customers for the lost ----- ### "Square for Restaurants" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 March 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The EASE of all of its features is my favorite aspect of the software. You can split checks, do separate checks, etc quickly and efficiently. > > **Cons**: I have yet to find something about the software that I don't like. ----- ### "Easy and quick" — 5.0/5 > **Sage** | *22 February 2020* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used this when working for my aunts food truck and I was helping them last minute when an employee called in sick, I was thrown in without much training on the system and I quickly figured it out myself. Simple and easy POS for small businesses like the food truck\! Can’t complain about the price either\! > > **Cons**: Some connectivity issues, but worked great for the most part. > > Great for my family’s cute little food truck\! ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/184987/square-for-restaurants?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/184987/square-for-restaurants) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
