“We have 70 employees to track across three restaurants. Square lets me see who clocks in and when they clock out for breaks, and it helps me organize everything. Food inventory, labor, that all helps me out. So that's where Square is my partner.”

“Switching back and forth between two locations off my phone is extremely easy. I click one button, bang, I’m in Brooklyn, and I can see all the analytics for Brooklyn. I click here, I’m on the West Village side. And then the great part about it is, on the Dashboard, you’re able to compare and contrast. It’s very, very user-friendly.”

FAQ
What is a QSR POS system?
A QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) POS system is designed to support fast-paced restaurant environments like quick service and fast-casual concepts. It helps manage orders, payments, kitchen communication, and inventory — all with speed and accuracy in mind.
Key features typically include:
- In-person, online, and mobile order management
- Fast, secure payment processing
- Menu customization and promotions
- Real-time inventory tracking
- Sales and performance reporting
- Staff scheduling
- Online ordering integration
Square’s QSR POS system is easy to use, scalable, and built to help busy teams streamline service and stay efficient.
What’s the difference between a QSR POS and a restaurant POS system?
A QSR POS system is built for speed and high-volume ordering, making it ideal for quick service and fast-casual restaurants. It emphasizes fast order input, simplified interfaces, and integration with online and mobile ordering.
In contrast, a restaurant POS system for full-service dining typically includes features like table management, coursing, seat assignments, tipping workflows, and more detailed order customization.
Square Point of Sale works for both QSR and full-service restaurants, with tailored features to fit the unique needs of different service models.

Yes, most QSR POS systems, including Square, are designed to handle online and mobile orders seamlessly. They integrate with the following:
- Online ordering platforms

- Orders are automatically routed to the kitchen, helping reduce wait times and keep service running smoothly.
