Square Online Features for Restaurants

Share This Post

Square Online has made it easy for restaurant owners to reduce and limit unnecessary contact between staff and diners when taking in-person orders.

Using unique QR codes in a restaurant at order locations—table, parking space, kiosk—diners simply scan the code with their phone to launch a Square Online order page to place and pay for their order.

The order goes right to the restaurant POS and kitchen printers—just like a server had put it in! Once the order is ready, a runner can check the ticket for the order location and deliver the food.

Self-serve ordering from Square Online helps restaurants streamline their operations and improve customer service:

  • Provide peace of mind to diners and staff by limiting contact and shared surfaces
  • Raise efficiency with improved table turn times
  • Free up staff to focus on other tasks
  • Give diners the freedom to order and reorder when they want—without waiting for a server
  • Improve order accuracy by putting the power in the customers hands
  • Offer easy payment options with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Square Pay

Self-serve ordering is free to all Square customers. They pay only the processing fee of 2.9% + 30¢ per payment transaction.

Square Customer Snapshot: Macri’s Bakery

Below, you’ll find another inspirational story of a business using Square Online. If you or someone you know is leveraging Square to succeed, we would love to to hear your story.

Macri’s Bakery in South Bend, Indiana sells a variety of Italian foods as well as cookies, pastries and more. Shelter-in-place mandates meant the Macri family had to quickly shift focus from in-person orders to online sales. With the help of Square Online Store, Macri’s was soon offering their many menu items, as well as DIY meal kits, for online order and curbside pickup.

Family-owned since 1978, Macri’s has a long-standing place in the community and understands the importance of giving back. During these times, Macri’s donates baked goods to a local hospital and uses Square Online Store’s donation feature to collect contributions from customers to help them provide full catered meals to frontline workers.
