25 cities. Hundreds of restaurant workers. One night off. We teamed up with OpenTable and A24 to host early screenings of "Tony," tracing Anthony Bourdain's origin story back to a summer washing dishes in Provincetown. Across the US, we invited servers, hosts, bartenders, line cooks, and chefs to watch the film together in local theaters. As we build for the needs of hospitality teams every day, celebrating a film that pulls back the curtain on the craft and grit behind the counter was a natural fit. Bourdain spent his career insisting that this industry deserves to be seen. Getting to hand the room back to the very people who make it all happen was a privilege. We're going to keep building for them.  

Search is becoming a conversation. We're making sure our sellers are part of it. Today, we expanded our partnership with Google to bring our U.S. food & beverage sellers into Ask Maps, Google's new conversational AI experience in Maps. Ask a simple question like “where can I grab a breakfast burrito nearby?” and Square sellers show up in the answer, with their menus, hours, and details synced automatically from the Square Dashboard. But it doesn't stop at discovery. Customers can browse real menus, customize orders, and check out with Order by Cash App – all without leaving the conversation. For sellers, there’s no API to build, no new tool to configure, no added cost, and every order flows straight into the POS and Kitchen Display System they already use. It’s one more way we're helping local restaurants, cafés, and bars show up wherever their next regular is already looking. Learn more here: squ.re/ask-maps

Kreation Organic Juice started in a Santa Monica garage, where founder Marjan Sarshar was cold-pressing juices by hand and motivated by a steadfast belief: that clean, nourishing food should be accessible to everyone. Nearly two decades later, Kreation has grown into 25 locations across Los Angeles and set a new standard for cold-pressed juice and healthy grab-and-go meals. With two more venues on the way, Kreation is doubling down on using Square to power the next stage of Marjan’s vision. We can't wait for what's next. Read more: squ.re/kreation

An afternoon in the neighborhood with Family Style Food Fest by Complex NTWRK, powered by Square and Cash App. One park, dozens of LA favorites, several second helpings, zero regrets.

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet has spent more than three decades doing something most restaurants struggle to crack: maintaining their consistency, quality, and community trust, all while scaling to 24 locations across two states. And after 30+ years in business, the Dimassi’s team is still hungry. They’re opening three new locations this year, with more to come, and they’re doubling down on the technology foundation needed to get there. That level of ambition is exactly the mindset Square was built to support. Read more about our work with Dimassi’s here: squ.re/dimassis

28 years ago, a ceramics artist in Hawaii had an idea: craft a pineapple-shaped shortbread cookie that felt like giving a gift. Today, Honolulu Cookie Company runs 14 locations, and is opening a first-of-its-kind experiential flagship in Las Vegas today. With further growth on the horizon, we're honored to be the platform powering their next chapter. Read more: squ.re/honolulu-cookie

Three sellers. Three very different concepts, including a restaurant consultancy, a fourth-generation farm turned winery, and a Thai family café. As America turned 250, we asked what's changed about the dream of business ownership in this country, and what hasn't. Our data tells the same story as these founders: ➡️ Ecommerce-first businesses are up 17x since 2016. ➡️ Omnichannel selling has grown ~8x. ➡️ The businesses that win are still the ones that turn first-time visitors into regulars, who generate 6x the revenue. The dream remains the same. The tools continue to change. And we're going to keep building them. Full data story on our newsroom: squ.re/american-dream

It’s an added means of accessing customers without added complexity, fees, or setup. AI search and discovery are here to stay. We built the infrastructure so you don't have to.
