Square

Square is now partnered with Sysco, the largest foodservice distributor in the world, to put time-saving technology in the hands of more restaurants. I had the opportunity to visit with the team in Texas last week, and while this strategic partnership has been a long time in the making, we have some more exciting work together that we’re cooking up for 2025 (yes, pun intended). And some new (and much-requested!) features for restaurants: 🍻 Bar Tabs to speed up bar service 💰 Instant Payouts to increase access to cash flow 🏠 House Accounts for rewarding your regulars Thanks to Dawn Fitzgerald, Neil Russell, Lindsay Williams Hirsch, Joseph Abdou, Mike Cohen, Ramsey Aweti, Trevor Wallace and Tricia Shea. And a huge shout-out, too, to the team at Cisco Brewers Inc. for being our Bar Tabs alpha partner and helping us make the product as powerful and easy-to-use as it is. Post: https://lnkd.in/ekXpMCmD

The holiday season isn’t just for retailers. Diners are getting together with friends, family, and co-workers at their favorite local restaurant to celebrate the end of the year. This past weekend, Square released data from Black Friday and Cyber Monday and we saw strong results from restaurants. Transactions at food and beverage sellers were up 12% from last year, and restaurants even aimed to draw diners in through BFCM discounts with a 28% growth of redemptions. Proud of the work from our Comms and Marketing team here at Square and excited for all the work ahead. Cheers to 2025! https://lnkd.in/etXGvFWk

I love Square data. Here's a fun one! The daily prices and quantities sold for Christmas trees over the holiday season. The best time to buy a tree is whenever will maximize joy in your household. But if you want to avoid crowds, go during the week. And if you want to save money, hold out past the first two weeks of December. Prices typically fall after (though selection will be limited).

Happiness is simple. And at Kosta's Takeaway, simple is a good bloody sandwich 🥪 Owner Benji has been working in hospitality since his teenage years, and Kosta's Takeaway isn't the first venue he's opened.
