Square for Restaurants has announced a new partnership with Sysco, a leading global foodservice distributor, along with a number of new features to help food and beverage sellers run their businesses with ease.
For more than a decade, Square has delivered innovative products to help food and beverage operators streamline operations and grow their businesses. Now, in partnership with Sysco, Square aims to bring the company’s powerful, intuitive technology solutions to more restaurants worldwide.
Sysco, a trusted leader in foodservice, supports and enhances their customers’ success with a range of services, including top-tier technology recommendations through their Sysco Restaurant Solutions program. Now, as a Restaurant Solutions partner, Square’s technology suite will be promoted, co-marketed, and sold to Sysco’s customers.
“Sysco is committed to helping our customers succeed through innovative solutions and technology,” said Neil Russell, Chief Administrative Officer at Sysco. “Square’s technology is comprehensive and easy-to-use for operators and workers alike, and we know that their solutions can help food and beverage businesses work smarter, operate more efficiently, and find new avenues of growth.”
Beyond the strategic partnership with Sysco, Square also announced new features to help restaurants run their businesses easily and efficiently. These features are currently rolling out to sellers, with full availability in early 2025.
“Holding onto people’s credit cards at the bar – and having 20-30 people per night forget to close out their tabs – can be a nightmare, so we were eager to work with Square on testing Bar Tabs for our brewery locations,” said Eric Lurwick, General Manager at Cisco Brewers on Nantucket. “We collaborated closely with the Square team on providing feedback to help fine-tune the product, and using Bar Tabs has made the lives of Cisco employees and customers a lot better.”
Sellers on Square for Restaurants can use Square’s Release Manager to easily opt into these new features at a time that makes sense for their businesses, giving operators the opportunity to train staff on changes before rolling out new functionality and ensure service is never disrupted.
“Day in and day out, our sellers are tasked with navigating the ever-changing and increasingly complex restaurant environment. We pride ourselves on listening to their challenges and needs so that we can deliver new solutions that make their lives easier,” said Ming-Tai Huh, Head of Food and Beverage at Square. “Any leg up we can give businesses – whether that’s through time saved or quicker access to revenue without more fees – is worth it to better equip them to succeed.”
