Square unveils next-generation Point of Sale app

Square introduced its new unified Point of Sale (POS) app, designed to serve sellers across industries including restaurants, retail, and services. The next-gen app merges Square’s commerce, payments, and business operations into one customizable platform.

The app simplifies the experience by offering industry-specific “modes”:
- Quick Service, Full Service, and Bar modes for food and beverage
- Retail mode for inventory and multi-location management
- Bookings and Services modes for wellness and mobile businesses
- Standard mode for general use

The unified app allows sellers to personalize and scale their POS systems as their businesses evolve. Internal testing showed an 80% increase in feature discovery and usage among new sellers compared to the previous POS experience.

Square plans to roll out more features and enhancements during its first "Square Releases" event on May 13.
