The server takes your card into the back, does something, and brings you back a paper receipt that you sign.<\/p>\n<p>Those days are going away. Payment facilitator Square has launched their <a href=\"https:\/\/squareup.com\/us\/en\/hardware\/handheld\">Square Handheld<\/a>, a portable alternative to their countertop Terminal model. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The smartphone-like device brings the point-of-sale directly to the customer, whether they&#8217;ve got a credit card with a chip or something tappable. If they need a physical receipt, the Handheld can connect to separate receipt printers over Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The device isn&#8217;t just for exchanging money: Servers can also use it to send orders straight from the table to the kitchen. The idea is to reduce the amount of time servers spend walking from table to station and back.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>It can also be used to manage appointments and reservations, scan barcodes and track inventory.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The company has partnered with Belkin to make a line of protective silicone cases.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>These were designed in collaboration with industrial design firm <a href=\"https:\/\/huge-design.com\/\">Huge Design<\/a>, though being a brand new product, they haven&#8217;t yet added it to their portfolio. <\/p>\n<p class=\"at_end\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;re eating at a restaurant, and you pay with a credit card.
