Hi everyone,
Square for Restaurants is already fantastic — it really does almost everything I need: loyalty, gift cards, tableside ordering, delivery integration, bill splitting, and even staff management. It’s one of the best all-in-one solutions out there.
But the one big piece that’s missing (and I know I’m not alone here) is a simple, integrated table booking system.
Right now, most EPOS systems — Square included — rely on third-party booking apps. The problem is:
What I’d love to see:
I’d happily pay an additional monthly fee for this, just like I do for Loyalty or Staff Management, because it would make Square for Restaurants a true all-in-one solution without needing clunky third-party add-ons.
Does anyone else feel the same? If Square made this happen, I think it would be a game-changer for independent restaurants.
I agree that an integrated table management and booking system would be a fantastic addition. However, and I believe I speak for most people, even the current floorplan feature has a lot to be desired.
As you pointed out, we currently leverage third party applications and their integration is less than stellar. After researching and trying out a wide variety of other potential options, I've decided to design & build my own solution.
I believe I can do this because I've been involved in running bars & restaurants for several years, have developed other apps (although it's been a while), and I worked for IBM for almost 20 years. Since I'm a one man show, I don't yet have a timeline for the initial release but I have what I believe is a pretty solid model.
Anyone interested in becoming a beta tester is invited to send me a DM.
I agree that it would be awesome to have this! Also agree that the floor plan tool could be significantly improved. Would be willing to provide input and alpha/beta test both.
