Integrated Tools That Work Together

When plates are spinning and a rush is in full swing, every delay creates ripple effects. If your POS doesn’t talk to your inventory management system, if your marketing tools live outside your day-to-day operations, or if your team is juggling multiple devices and logins just to get through service, those seconds add up.

Square removes those silos by bringing hardware, software, and partner integrations into one unified ecosystem. From front-of-house to back-of-house to the back office, every piece is designed to work together out of the box.

Customer engagement is also built in. Square includes email and text message marketing tools, loyalty programs, and CRM features that connect directly to your POS. With Square Marketing, you can run a slow-day SMS promo, launch a loyalty campaign, or send an email to high-spending customers. These tools do more than create relationships — they drive real business results.

Staff management is just as seamless. Square Staff Management can handle scheduling, time tracking, tip pooling, payroll, team communications, and even HR tasks like onboarding. That’s especially useful for growing teams or multi-location operators who need consistency without micromanagement.

“We have 70 employees to track across three restaurants,” said Quie Slobert, COO of Charles Pan-Fried Chicken. “Square lets me see who clocks in and when they clock out for breaks, and it helps me organize everything.”

And when it comes to taking orders and payments, Square gives you hardware options that match your pace. Square Handheld is a pocketable POS device designed to move with your team. It’s durable, portable, and powerful enough to manage your entire service flow from the palm of your hand. From tableside ordering and payments to inventory management, it helps you take payments faster and keep the line moving. Because it’s connected to your actual inventory, your staff can see what’s in stock in real time, so customers never place an order for something that’s already sold out.

You can also go fully mobile with bring-your-own-device features like Tap to Pay on iPhone, which allow you to take contactless payments directly on your iPhone. It's a fast flexible option for pop-ups, off-site catering, and events where space is limited and speed matters. Whatever your workflow looks like, Square has tools to support it without layering on extra complexity.

And when you need to go beyond Square’s built-in tools, integrations are just as smooth. For full-service restaurant management, Square integrates with platforms like Restaurant365, giving you advanced capabilities for accounting, inventory, and workforce planning. If you're growing a franchise, you can also use GoParrot — now Square for Franchises — to manage multi-location marketing, online ordering, and customer engagement at scale.

Need to track ingredient costs across locations? Integrate inventory partners like MarketMan or Yellow Dog directly into your Square Point of Sale or eCommerce site. Want your accountant to stay in sync without chasing down spreadsheets? Sync your financials with tools like QuickBooks or Xero. Square makes it easy to plug in the platforms you already use while keeping your core operations running in one place.

The result is less friction, better visibility, and fewer moving parts. When everything speaks the same language, your team spends less time navigating tools and more time delivering great service.
