By GlobalDataIt allows franchisors to manage multiple locations using the dashboard, which highlights store performance and provides control over menu options. The dashboard also enables the management of gift cards and loyalty programmes.
The Square for Franchises platform builds on the GoParrot digital ordering and marketing platform, acquired by Square in May 2022.
Square verticals and platform head Matthew O’Connor said: “Square for Restaurants’ growth speaks to restaurant owners’ thirst for new, intuitive technology to help their businesses flourish, whether they’re a fast-growing quick-service spot or a beloved full-service restaurant.
“With inflation, labour shortages and increased customer expectations, it can be tricky to run a restaurant right now – but at Square, we’re the tech partner to make restaurateurs’ lives a little easier.”
Over the past year, the company announced approximately 50 new partnership integrations to help restaurants grow their business.
The company’s Paytronix partnership will soon enable restaurants with Paytronix Online Ordering and Loyalty to integrate with Square for Restaurants.
This will allow restaurants to engage customers across all touchpoints and ensure customer retention using data-driven insights and personalised offers.
Georgia-based Mexican restaurant El Ponce is another establishment that has recently integrated Squares KDS solution to improve its operations.
El Ponce co-owner Rosa Thurnher said: “Our [Square] KDS setup was so easy in our line kitchen. Our tickets come in instantly for prepping orders and marking items as complete. It’s great to have that two-way ticket interaction that paper receipts can’t offer.”
