Square (SQ) has unveiled its latest innovation aimed at enhancing the efficiency and growth of restaurant operations. The new product, Square Handheld, is a powerful, pocket-sized point-of-sale device designed to meet the specific demands of the food and beverage industry. This device is part of Square Releases, the company's twice-yearly product launch initiative.
Equipped with a spill- and splash-resistant 6.2" Gorilla Glass touchscreen, the Square Handheld is built to withstand everyday challenges faced by restaurant staff. It features a long-lasting battery, barcode scanner, and camera, supporting a comprehensive range of restaurant operations from tableside order taking to retail sales support.
Alongside the new hardware, Square is enhancing its unified Square Point of Sale app. This redesign allows restaurants of all types to seamlessly integrate different operational modes, from full-service dining to retail, improving flexibility and scalability.
Square's strategic partnerships with Sysco, Uber Eats, and DoorDash further bolster its offering. The collaboration with Sysco provides new users switching to Square's platform the chance to earn up to $1,000 per month in grocery subsidies. Enhanced integrations with Uber Eats and DoorDash allow for efficient order management and same-day access to earnings through Instant Payouts via Square Checking.
Square continues to expand its ecosystem, helping restaurants streamline operations and maximize revenue potential through advanced data insights and increased customer loyalty capabilities.
