Square POS Review as Restaurant Employee
Comments: Using Square Point of Sale has been super easy and convenient, especially with all the helpful features like tracking sales and inventory. The only downside is the fees can add up, and dealing with account holds has been a bit annoying at times.
Pros:
Square POS is easy to use because it has an intuitive interface, making it easy to set up and use, even for those without technical expertise.
Cons:
Some consumers have reported issues with funds being placed on hold or accounts being frozen due to Square's risk assessment processes.
Great for Small Businesses
Comments: Overall I liked the app for what it is. I feel like the percentage of sales it takes is a little much, especially for the simplicity of it. We mainly used square for running the bar which is not good for a fast paced environment. When running the merch area it was fine, as it isnt as busy when searching for items. Great if you are just starting out.
Pros:
Square is super easy to use and is great for small businesses.
Cons:
On the app, we had to manually enter the card number because the "tap" feature wasnt the best while doing transactions. The square device itself was always breaking and not reading the credit card correctly.
