Square for Restaurants
Restaurants do not fail at tap-to-pay. They fail at modifiers, coursing, and the bar tab that never closes. Square for Restaurants is built for that work, table maps, courses, preauthorized tabs, and a kitchen that can see the same ticket the server just sent. Omega helps you pick hardware around the service model, not the other way around.

Floor
Mode matches the room
A counter QSR does not need a 40-table map. A steakhouse does not need kiosk-only.
Bar
Tabs that actually close
Preauthorized tabs so drinks are not floating unclosed at last call.
Omega
Square or Clover, said plainly
If Toast-style kitchen depth or Clover’s app market is better, we will say so.
Overview
Why operators pick Square for Restaurants

Frequently asked questions
Is Square for Restaurants a separate app?
Restaurant tools live in Square Point of Sale modes (quick service, full service, bar) plus restaurant-specific hardware like KDS and Kiosk. Plan level (Free, Plus, Premium, or custom) changes which features you get. We map that to your ticket volume.
Can Omega still offer Clover for restaurants?
Yes. Clover remains a core POS we place for qualified merchants. Square is now an additional option. We help you compare, not lock you into one logo.
Can Omega still offer Clover instead?
Yes. Square is an addition, not a replacement. If Clover, Union, a vertical POS, or a simple terminal is the better fit, we will say so and quote that path.
