About Square Point of Sale
Square Point of Sale is a cloud-based POS solution for use with iOS and Android devices, or Square’s own point of sale hardware. The software allows users to manage customers, transactions, inventory, invoicing, and payments, with additional tools for managing customer loyalty, marketing, employees, and payroll.
Square offers magstripe, chip, and contactless card readers for accepting payments via debit and credit cards, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. Square Virtual Terminal enables payment collection through a computer, which allows merchants to key in card details so that no card reader is required.
Sell from anywhere
Square Point of Sale helps businesses sell in-person, online, over the phone, or out in the field. Merchants can add a synced online store, sell through Instagram and Facebook, and offer curbside pickup, local delivery, and shipping -- no coding required.
Grow customer relationships
The built-in customer directory can track customer preferences and feedback with every card swipe. Key customer information is added automatically to build profiles, and merchants can search and sort customers to view their purchase histories, target email marketing campaigns, and send more personalized messages that keep customers coming back more often.
Track the health of your business
With Square Dashboard and built-in sales reports on the POS, merchants can access their sales data from any device, with real-time hourly sales reports for each location, transaction and deposit tracking, and more. Square POS helps merchants manage their inventory from anywhere. Products can be imported via CSV and names, prices, and quantities can be edited at any time. Daily stock alert emails notify users of items with low or no stock, and inventory levels can be exported to printable spreadsheets.
Everything is integrated into your POS for a stress-free experience. It’s free to use, and no contracts, fine print, or manuals required.

I use to have just a Cash Register with departments and switching to Square not only improved my check out and ordering process but also let me add as many terminal as I need. Fees are reasonable and deposited fast.
Pros
This Software is very friendly and easy to implement.
Cons
I'm currently using Square for Restaurants and I will like to have some changes in Modifiers that in case to be selected then request more information.Today i.e. if someone orders 2 or more eggs y have to use a modifier to define how they want them in order not to make the list of options too long. And had happned that some one have selected Scramble (but not selected eggs) what becomes a problem at pick up.
