Square for Restaurants COVID-19 Seller Help

We’re all facing unique challenges right now, and for business owners, the stakes are particularly high. We want to offer support and help in the ways we can.

We are waiving all software subscription fees for the month of April for existing software customers. This includes Square Appointments, Retail, Restaurants, Loyalty, Team Management, Payroll, Marketing, and Square Online Store (including curbside and delivery). Square will manage the process for you—you will not be billed in April.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be hosting Town Hall, a series of webinars, so you can hear how businesses like yours are evolving during this time. We hope these webinars help you determine what’s right for your business, as well as give you information about tools that can better connect you with your customers. You can view the latest Food & Beverage webinar or head to Square’s YouTube channel to access all previous Town Hall recordings.

In the meantime, here are some additional steps you can take:
