The rewards are great and impressive.

Generating an item is extremely simple and you can dispatch it directly to the POS from any point after creating it.

Understanding this subpar inventory system is hard. The system fails to track what am looking for prompting me to guess my requirements.

We've worked with it for years and we’ll continue to use it at our functions. I really like Square.

Simple to use, extremely trustworthy, simple to teach a new person on how to work with the software app and reader, dashboards are simple to navigate, reports are simple to read, Square charges are extremely reasonable and very good about offering Square reader devices for POS transactions.

The standard Square readers don’t function with the most recent Apple iPhones that don’t have the phone jack which can be challenging. It can be difficult to view the person that paid for a product or to match up transactions to products sold (for big events when many transactions occur within a short time frame).

Some updates on their devices could help.
