Square Hardware Setup

For donut shops: Choose and configure Square checkout equipment for pastries, cakes and custom dessert orders, including counter, mobile and staff workflows. Square describes Square Register as a way to "run your entire business right out of the box with a fully integrated, two-screen solution," and Square Handheld as "the powerful, feature-packed POS that fits in your pocket." A Stand or Register plus a Kiosk covers most donut counters. Roots Payments, an independent Square Reseller, sets it up and supports it for donut shops.
  • Recommend a device mix for your layout; you purchase directly from Square
  • Plan network, power and mounting before install day
  • Configure devices, printer profiles and device codes

Cash Discount Program

For donut shops: Design a clearly presented cash-price program for pastries, cakes and custom dessert orders, with checkout wording and receipts aligned. A cash discount program posts the card price as the regular price and gives customers who pay cash a discount, which helps offset processing costs. Low tickets make card fees a bigger share of each sale; a disclosed cash discount can offset them.
  • Review your state's rules and card-network requirements with you
  • Reprice menus so the posted price is the card price
  • Program terminals and receipts and install signage
