We've worked with it for years and we’ll continue to use it at our functions. I really like Square.

Simple to use, extremely trustworthy, simple to teach a new person on how to work with the software app and reader, dashboards are simple to navigate, reports are simple to read, Square charges are extremely reasonable and very good about offering Square reader devices for POS transactions.

The standard Square readers don’t function with the most recent Apple iPhones that don’t have the phone jack which can be challenging. It can be difficult to view the person that paid for a product or to match up transactions to products sold (for big events when many transactions occur within a short time frame).

Simple to apply for simple to use quick verification irrespective of the size of the service is fantastic, plenty of options.

Some updates on their devices could help.

This is an incredibly user-friendly system with numerous features e.g. storing for us the database of a client.

The reports provided are many, looking for items when calling a client is simple.

Touchy buttons, the wrong item severally gets included in the order of the guests, and there are continuous upgrades that don’t relate to our store’s type.

We want to move to another software, but since they have every past data of ours, moving is quite hard for us.

Multistore options are obtainable, the reports are great.

Write and video resources are extremely poor, it is incredibly expensive, and terrible client service.
