"Great Experience with Square "

**Overall:** I would defenitely recommend it if you see a lot of clients per day or need to make many transations as it gives your clients more payment options. Very quick to use.

**Pros:** I like how easy it is to use. Its compatible with my iphone and makes transactions a brease. Very user friendly interface and simple to navigate.

**Cons:** They take a big cut from the sales which is an inconvinence and the additional costs of buying the square for physical tap also adds cost.

"Not for Hotels"

**Overall:** Over all I would say that it just isn't right for Hotels or Inns . It lack all the extra features that you would get in any Hospitality POS

**Pros:** The start up cost was almost nothing. And it was so easy to set up. I mean plug and go. So there was no need to have anyone come in and set up.

**Cons:** The initial hardware costs are low, and basic features are available without a monthly subscription, But if you want to add employee management or payroll those are added fees. Maybe for a small hotel or business it would be affordable able. But for our property and the amount of online and phone reservations that we take the transaction fees really rack up. And the customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with
