Rodney Stoutenger is the owner of Garden Seventeen, a one-stop greenhouse and garden store in central Austin.
“We were brought up against all these backstepping laws that made it harder to just exist as people. Our response was: Hang more rainbow flags, hang more rainbow banners. Let’s let everybody know who doesn’t have that support at home, ‘We got you.’” —
"We originally decided on Square because of the mobility aspect of it. Honestly, that was one of the leading factors for us — having access to our inventory and the health of our store from my phone, from anywhere in the world, was the leading decision maker owning multiple businesses. It meant that I would need to know the health of each of those businesses remotely some days. Square made that possible.
My partner Jake does all of our tech stuff and he was able to use Square to adapt to our growing needs across multiple business platforms. As a growing business, it's super important for us to have a system that can really keep up with our expanding and growing needs. And we chose Square because Square's got the ability for add-ons and support. That's really the most important piece for us.”
