Restaurant owners can now sell faster and more efficiently by seamlessly connecting their Wix Restaurants site and Square to manage online orders, menus, and reporting in one place.
"We're continuing to open our platform and welcome powerful integrations that can help business owners thrive," said Adam Garfield, VP of Wix Restaurants. "Many restaurants face operational challenges juggling multiple channels to orchestrate online and in-house orders, delivery services, the kitchen, and more. Our integration with Square brings a solution to help restaurants get back time that would have been spent on duplicative efforts from using multiple platforms. Now, restaurants can focus on providing quality service to more customers, generating more revenue, and growing their business."
The new integration, which is available to Wix Restaurant users in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, and Australia, allows restaurant owners to:
- Sync their Wix Restaurants site with their Square account to streamline online ordering directly from the Wix platform.
- Manage their catalog, including categories, items, descriptions, images, and full menus, directly from the Wix platform.
- Send orders placed through Wix directly to Square's system.
- View sales reports from their Wix website directly within their Square Dashboard.
"Wix's expanded integration with Square gives restaurants the combined power of two best-in-class platforms," said Vijay Vachani, Global Head of Partners and Developers, Square. "Restaurants can now synchronize their online ordering between the two to reduce time-consuming, manual tasks, and streamline their operations. It's now easier than ever for restaurants who already have websites on Wix to shift their on-premise operations to Square."
