How can Square Help me grow?

Hi, I'm a cottage baker in Florida making custom cakes and sweet treats. I've been using Square's invoicing to collect payments from my customers for about 3 years, but I am in the process of grwoing my business to a retail location and would like to know more about how I can use Square to it's fullest potentional to help me along the way. Aside from front-of-the-house POS, are there any features for managing back-of-the-house operations such as ingredient inventory, recipe costing and scaling etc?

Square does not have any of the back of house stuff like you are asking. It can track sales and inventory, but not keep track of how much flour etc is on hand or what is needed in your banana bread. You would need to use a different app or a spreadsheet to do that.

Thanks. Just wanted to be sure there weren't features that I wasn't aware of. I'll keep using square to take payments and look for the other stuff elsewhere.
