Square POS Integration: Streamline Your Restaurant Operations
Connect your reservation system with Square POS for seamless table management and automatic order synchronization
What is Square POS Integration?
Ever enter the same reservation info twice? Once in Spectra, then again in Square? The Square POS integration fixes that.
It connects Spectra directly to your Square POS. When they're linked, everything syncs automatically. Mark a reservation as seated in Spectra, and it creates the order in Square. When the order completes in Square, Spectra updates the table status. No double entry, no manual work.
Key Features

How It Works
Guest Books a Table
Guest makes a reservation through Spectra with their name, phone, and any special requests.
You Mark as Seated
When they arrive, mark the reservation as "seated" in Spectra. It automatically creates the order in Square with guest info and table number.
Square Updates Spectra
As the meal progresses, Square sends updates back. Spectra tracks course progression and updates table status in real-time.
Order Completes
When the order completes in Square, Spectra marks the reservation as done and frees the table for the next party.
Getting Started
Go to your Spectra dashboard settings and find the POS Integration section. Connect your Square account, and you're done. Everything works automatically after that.
