Overview

Square for Restaurants is a POS and payments platform from Block, Inc., founded in San Francisco in 2009, with a major UK presence. It combines EPOS, card processing, online ordering, kitchen display and loyalty with published pricing and a usable free tier. UK cafés, independents and small groups adopt it for transparent costs and ease of setup, though ingredient-level inventory is limited.
