About this app

Square for Restaurants moves with you on the Restaurant Mobile POS kit. Adding handheld devices to your POS allows your staff to focus on a better guest experience because they can take more orders without having to run back-and-forth to the countertop POS. Discover the smarter way to run your restaurant with the POS software built for restaurants.

The best part? It’s easy to integrate handheld devices into the Square for Restaurants POS system to speed up the process of taking orders and payments table-side, in line, or on the go.

And if you’re new to Square, all you need is a subscription to our Square for Restaurants Plus plan* and your choice of device: the Mobile POS kit or Square Terminal.

Reliable hardware that meets your team’s needs.

The Restaurant Mobile POS kit includes a Samsung Galaxy A32 5G — a slim option designed to fit into any pocket with a large 6.5’’ screen and offering digital receipts. This application runs on Samsung Galaxy A32 5G.
Square Terminal is an all-in-one device for orders and payments, made with durable 5.5’’ Gorilla Glass and a physical receipt printer built in. Square Terminal has Square for Restaurants software built in — no download required.

With Square for Restaurants Mobile POS, you can:

Deliver better hospitality with more time for table touches.

Keep tabs on your repeat customers with up-to-the-minute diner preferences, order history, and server notes.
Avoid ordering hiccups by seeing real-time inventory to know what’s selling and what’s about to sell out.
Give diners the flexibility to order and pay how they want, whether it’s at the table or through self-serve QR codes.

Streamline orders to your kitchen, no matter where orders are placed.
Get orders out quickly and accurately with table-side, curbside, online, and delivery orders powered through one powerful handheld device.
Arrange coursing to make your diners’ meals more enjoyable and keep staff in sync on when to hold and fire each order.

Whether it is for bars, quick service, or full service, Square for Restaurants is the POS that works harder for your business. And now, it fits perfectly into your apron pocket.

This is more than just a POS — it’s your path to thriving in the new era of dining.

“The biggest upside of the mobile POS has been keeping my staff on the floor more of the time, which has led to greater customer satisfaction.”
Frankie DiCarlantonio, Scaffidi Restaurant Group owner
