Hi Square fam โ€” long overdue intro from a Square Champion ๐Ÿ‘‹

Itโ€™s wild to think how long Iโ€™ve been with Square, how much itโ€™s grownโ€”and that Iโ€™ve never properly introduced myself here!

 

Iโ€™m Briant, and my wife and I own Empanada City in Brooklyn, NY. We serve Dominican- and Puerto Rican-inspired empanadas, delicious smoothies, and a few desserts thatโ€™ll make you rethink your sweet tooth.

 

We opened our doors in 2017 with zero restaurant experienceโ€”just passion, hustle, and a vision. Square has been with us from day one. From card processing to payroll, marketing, loyalty, and even our website, Squareโ€™s ecosystem has been a game changer for us. Weโ€™re constantly impressed by how the platform keeps innovating and helping small businesses like ours punch above our weight.

 

From empanadas to apps ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ“ฑ

Recently, we ran into a challenge: we needed a mobile app for our customers to order ahead, earn loyalty points, send gift cards, and moreโ€”all fully integrated with Square.

 

Instead of settling, I decided to build it myself. That app is now live for Empanada Cityโ€”and it's been a hit with our customers. 

 

But we didnโ€™t stop there. We realized tons of other Square sellers could benefit from the same experience. So we built a white-labeled version that lets any Square business launch a fully branded iOS and Android app in just days.

 

Thatโ€™s how Gegsy was bornโ€”and today, weโ€™re proud to be a Square App Marketplace partner! We have also signed up a few other business that have onboarded onto Gegsy to power their mobile apps.

 

Want to try it out?

If youโ€™ve ever considered a mobile app for your business, weโ€™d love for you to check out Gegsy. And to celebrate being part of this amazing community, weโ€™re offering 2 free months to anyone who signs up in July.

 

๐ŸŽ‰Use code SQUARECOMMUNITY at checkout to claim it.

 

Looking forward to connecting and learning from all of youโ€”finally!

@Hailey Any help to spread the word would be amazing! Getting a tech company off the ground is not easy. We think our app is awesome and Square sellers will love it too!

My name is George Williams. I've been with square now over 13 years, I run a Moving and Trucking Company in Delaware. I've been receiving square capital now over 10 consecutive years and square has helped my business tremendously. My largest loan was 56k during the pandemic and my average loan is about 40k annually.

Square has truly been one of the best things to happen in my life. The access to capitalโ€”offered with no credit checkโ€”completely changed the game for me. Iโ€™ve been able to accomplish things I never imagined possible, all because I stayed loyal to Square over the years. Their support has helped me grow my business and provided opportunities that wouldnโ€™t have been possible otherwise. Theyโ€™re truly the best.
