My local coffee shop here in Tempe, AZ switched over to using an iPad with Square instead of a cash register about a month ago.
As a customer I like it. It's fast and slick. The employees seem to like it too.
Only one thing: if anybody from Square is reading this look into allowing the option of a bigger, sturdier card reader. The little on you ship now is flimsy and doesn't work too well if you use it 500 times a day.
- pkamb 15y agoThat's what I keep thinking every time I see a picture of the thing. Looks like it would just rotate in the round headphone jack every time you swiped a card.
- lionheart 15y agoIt's actually not that bad. And it looks like its perfect if you're using it for payments on the move. But if you're not going to be moving the payment station around you should be able to opt into a bigger and sturdier one.
- jmm 15y agoKickstarter campaign, anyone? (to produce an iPad + Square dongle enclosure)
- brianbreslin 15y agoGreat idea. If I were even remotely an industrial designer I'd build in a stand as well
- busted 15y agoHow do they deal with cash payments?
- lionheart 15y agoThe Square app does all the typical register calculations for cash too, then they just have a little cash holder box on the table where they put it.
- brianbreslin 15y agoCould someone build a cash drawer/charging dock that is connected to square somehow? Or even disconnected from square but still offer charging functionality
