Setting up Square for Restaurants, while already have Square for Retail. Please help

I currently have Square for Retail but am adding Square for Restaurants because I have added a wine/beer bar with patio in my boutique. My Square salesperson suggested a create a new location first, then proceed with creating a Square for Restaurant account. The boutique and wine bar are in the same building, but separate areas.

 

I added the new location, but now am not sure of the next step. If I subscribe to Square for Restaurants, can I sign in with the same email address, or do I need to create a new one? How does adding a new location under my Square for Retail account merge with Square for Restaurants? 

 

I'm slightly confused and need this to work by this Friday. Please help!

Yes, Same e-mail and same account.  Basically the account has 1 database of information and the square for retail, square point of sale, and square for restaurants use that same database but are different windows to see your data and perform your tasks.  Each tool allows you different nuanced and unique ways to interact with the same data.

 

So the 2nd location will be assigned the square for restaurants and use the same item catalog and you can import many of the same settings, etc.

 

I regularly use the point of sale and restaurants app at same location.
