Best practices for caterers & private chefs using Square?

I have been using Square for years, yet I don't use all that I can. I would like some feedback as far as what and how I should be taking advantage of with Square?

I'd start with what services are you currently using and what is the product that you're selling to customers and how do you go about offering that product for sale?

Can you write where your pain points are? Maybe some suggestions can be made - we are a food truck and we also cater events of all sizes. I think technology is always evolving.. but there is always room for improvement!

We're a restaurant, but we also do quite a bit of catering. We use Square for a ton -- scheduling, payroll, sending estimates & invoices to customers, reporting, etc. I've also seen other caterers actually build an Online Store for some of their more standard offerings. I agree with @Whoa though -- would you mind sharing what you offer and what your pain points are, and maybe some of us can chime in?
