Financial tech company Square has forged a partnership with US Foods to enhance the adoption of technology in restaurants.

Through US Foods' CHECK Business Tools programme, Square's software and hardware solutions will be promoted to thousands of customers across the US.

US Foods, known for offering technology solutions to its customers, sees the partnership as an opportunity to provide even more value.

Restaurants across the country can now access Square's advanced tools to streamline operations and foster growth.

Square Food and Beverage head Ming-Tai Huh said: “Restaurant operators today are tasked with navigating numerous operational challenges, from labour management to growing sales and managing cash flow.

“US Foods shares our commitment to empowering restaurants with the tools and services they need to drive operational efficiency and find success.

“We’re confident we can bring Square’s comprehensive, easy-to-use and time-saving suite of solutions to more and more restaurants. Together, we will help restaurants succeed, whether in the kitchen, dining room or through digital channels.”

The timing of the collaboration is significant and follows Square's introduction of Square Kiosk and the arrival of new partners earlier in 2024.

US Foods Business Solutions director Adam Stinn said: “Square’s software and hardware offerings for restaurants are powerful, and we believe they’ll help our customers modernise operations.

“We pride ourselves on ensuring our customers have access to innovative technology, and with Square’s integrated front and back-of-house tools now part of our CHECK Business Tools programme, we’re helping more restaurants lessen the complexity of their operations.”
