In brief

Square Restaurant : what you need to know

Square Restaurant est une solution pos tout-en-un creee aux USA par Jack Dorsey (co-fondateur de Twitter). Avec des millions de commerces dans le monde, c'est un geant du paiement et du POS.

Le positionnement de Square est radical : un plan de base entierement gratuit. Pas d'abonnement mensuel, mais des frais de transaction de 2,6% + 15 centimes par paiement carte. Un modele economique inverse par rapport aux solutions classiques.

Pour un restaurant francais, Square offre une entree en matiere sans risque financier. Mais les fonctionnalites restauration restent basiques : pas de KDS, pas de bornes, pas de gestion de salle.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Square Restaurant

Is Square Restaurant really free? ▼

Square's basic plan is free: no monthly subscription. However, Square charges transaction fees of 2.6% + 15 cents per card payment. On a high volume of orders, these fees can exceed the cost of a standard monthly subscription.

Is Square suitable for a French restaurant? ▼

Square works in France, but the solution is less specialised for the French restaurant market than players like Zelty, L'Addition or Popina. Floor management, KDS and kiosk features are absent. Square is better suited to small businesses and food trucks.

Where is data stored with Square? ▼

Square is an American company based in San Francisco. Data passes through servers located outside the European Union. For restaurateurs concerned about GDPR compliance and data sovereignty, this is a point to consider.

What are Square's transaction fees? ▼

Square charges approximately 2.6% + 15 cents per card transaction. This is higher than standard bank fees in France. For a restaurant processing 500 transactions per month at an average of 25 euros, that represents over 400 euros in monthly fees.

Does Square offer online ordering? ▼

Yes. Square allows you to create a basic online ordering site for Click & Collect. This feature is included in the free plan. However, transaction fees also apply to online orders.
