Pros from Real Users Pros I love Square, well for the time I used it for. I sold Lularoe and this was so nice to be able to use during shows. People could just come up, buy what they want with the card reader and then all of the receipts were automatically compiled at the end and I was good to go. Very easy to use and they have great point of sale systems to be able to set up in a retail or business establishment.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros it offers excellent features for restaurant management, and the design is very modern . the software runs smoothly without major glitches, making it reliable during busy hours. I like the integration bundle but they should have a unlimited bundle package to be better then Chowly and 3rd party providers and if they created a website they would definitely do great and they should do something with DoorDash and third parties to lower commissions rate one small restaurant can’t make that difference but a platform like toast can literally take over the virtual market with just a few of these options Cons the pricing and add-on fees can be a bit high for smaller businesses. also, the customer service response time can sometimes be improved. Integration took to along to set up I had to add google direct ordering for my location and got over charged I may have to switch integrations.
