The Restaurants team at Square is reimagining the hospitality industry to free today’s restaurants from crippling, archaic software, and inefficient workflows.  We’re diners, fans, and admirers of the people working in the food and drink business and we want to do our part to help them succeed.

We are taking a fresh look at this industry and building a modern product ecosystem that capitalizes on the themes of efficiency, automation, and reliability – which are becoming the cornerstones of the new breed of hospitality tools. In the dining room, Square sees the Point of Sale becoming increasingly mobile and moving to the diner, while restaurants realize new revenue streams that both complement and compete with their front of house businesses. We’re addressing the needs of restaurants in this dynamic landscape with intuitive yet sophisticated iOS, Android, and web-based software that integrates seamlessly with our hardware, all backed by reliable services.

The Restaurants Growth & Engagement team is focused on helping our customers grow up with Square. We make it easier for them to get started using our software, and once they’re up and running, we help them make the best use of the Square ecosystem.

We’re also the main team in Restaurants responsible for our powerful web-based app, Dashboard. Restaurant managers and owners use Dashboard to create and manage their accounts, manage their menus, configure their Points of Sale, take in reporting that helps them understand their customers and their business, and more.

We work hard to ensure that Dashboard presents an elegant, intuitive UI so that our customers can get the most out of our extremely flexible product suite. Our customers can get up and running themselves, a first for the industry – and they tell us they’re able to take direct control of Square for Restaurants like no competing product.
