Square rolls out integrated drive-through system for QSR operators
Summary
Square introduced Square for Drive-Thru, a drive-through solution that combines order capture, kitchen coordination and customer handoff into a single workflow. The tool was developed in partnership with The Howard Company and Nanonation and is built on the Square for Restaurants platform. It displays menu-board orders on confirmation screens, routes items to the correct kitchen stations via KDS rules, uses automatic order numbering for handoffs, and integrates with Square’s reporting, cash flow, marketing and customer engagement tools. Open APIs allow operators to keep preferred external systems, and Square is offering the product through an Early Access Program with a broader rollout planned later this year. The solution targets high-traffic QSR operators seeking to reduce delays, cut order mistakes and speed throughput at peak times.
