Square for Restaurants

For fine dining restaurants: Organize meals, takeout orders and catering with menu modifiers, kitchen routing and front-of-house checks in one restaurant workflow. Square describes its restaurant POS as "a business technology solution built for single- and multi-location full-service restaurants, quick-service restaurants, fast-casual restaurants, bars, breweries, and multi-concept restaurants." Coursing, seat numbers and split checks support tasting menus, wine pairings and large parties. Roots Payments, an independent Square Reseller, sets it up and supports it for fine dining restaurants.
  • Recommend the Square plan and device mix that fits your service style
  • Build menus, modifiers, taxes, service charges and tip settings before opening day

Square Integrations

For fine dining restaurants: Connect Square transaction data with the tools used to manage checks, modifiers, tips and shifts, reducing repeated data entry. Square says sellers can "keep orders flowing even beyond your doors by integrating your favorite delivery partners like Uber Eats and DoorDash," and lists 100+ popular app integrations. A connected reservation platform brings covers, guest notes and seatings into the same flow as the POS. Roots Payments, an independent Square Reseller, sets it up and supports it for fine dining restaurants.
  • Audit which apps you use and which ones Square can replace
  • Connect delivery partners and map menus, modifiers and prices
  • Set up accounting sync and test it against a real week of sales

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." Discreet Handhelds for captains and a dimmed display mode suit low-light dining rooms. Roots Payments, an independent Square Reseller, sets it up and supports it for fine dining restaurants.

Square Gift Cards

For fine dining restaurants: Offer gift cards redeemable toward meals, takeout orders and catering and track purchased and redeemed balances. Square says sellers can "sell physical and eGift cards from your POS or online store." Gift cards for anniversaries and holidays are a natural fit for special-occasion restaurants.

Custom Development on Square

For fine dining restaurants: Build a Square-based payment workflow around meals, takeout orders and catering, with custom software for your operating process. Square publishes developer APIs, including the Orders API and Catalog API, that let approved apps create orders and manage items in a seller's Square account. Custom builds can connect prepaid tasting-menu tickets or event deposits to the checks in Square. Roots Payments, an independent Square Reseller, sets it up and supports it for fine dining restaurants.
  • Scope the workflow and confirm what Square already does natively
  • Design, build and test the integration (a Roots service, not a Square product)
  • Deploy, monitor and maintain it as Square's APIs change

Pay at the Table

Pay-at-table lets guests pay, tip and split the check at the table on a handheld terminal or by scanning a QR code. Pay-at-table keeps the card with the guest and lets servers close checks without leaving the table.
  • Choose handhelds or QR based on your service style
  • Set tip prompts and split options
  • Integrate with your POS so checks close automatically

Merchant Account

For fine dining restaurants: Arrange a processing account for meals, takeout orders and catering, with checkout methods matched to how customers pay.

High average checks can make an interchange-plus pricing review worthwhile for groups with custom processing needs.
  • Review your current statements and effective rate
  • Underwrite for your volume, ticket size and seasonality
  • Set up terminals or gateway and test transactions
