One Device. Total Control.
Squirrel Systems is proud to introduce Squirrel Order & Pay, a powerful new capability available exclusively with Squirrel Cloud POS. This all-in-one solution combines full point-of-sale functionality and integrated payments into a single handheld device — giving servers everything they need to serve guests, right in their hands.
With Squirrel Order & Pay, servers can take orders, process payments, split checks, and issue receipts without ever leaving the table. It’s a faster, more efficient way to serve guests and streamline operations.
This version of Squirrel Order & Pay has been developed in partnership with Shift4, a long-time Squirrel partner, and is available in both the United States and Canada.
Why It Matters
In most restaurants, servers may need to juggle multiple devices and applications to complete a single guest interaction. They may use one device or terminal to take orders and another — often shared — to process payments. This fragmented workflow leads to:
- Slower service, since servers must retrieve payment devices from shared stations
- Training is more complex, since staff must learn both the POS and a separate pay-at-table system
- Higher hardware costs because each server needs multiple devices
- Guest frustration caused by delays and inconsistent service
Squirrel Order & Pay solves these problems by putting everything the server needs — ordering, payments, check management — into a single device they carry at all times. It eliminates the need for separate payment apps and hardware, streamlining the entire guest experience and making service faster, more consistent, and more efficient.
How It Works
Complete Ordering Workflows — Right at the Table
Squirrel Order & Pay runs Squirrel Cloud POS on the PAX A800 Android payment device, giving servers full access to the POS system in a compact, mobile form factor. This enables complete ordering workflows tableside, including:
- Seat-based ordering for improved service and expedited split checks
- Bar or counter-centric ordering with check-based workflows
- Full menu access, including all add-ons, modifiers, and customizations familiar to Squirrel users
With the POS in hand, servers can stay with their guests from greeting to payment — no need to return to a terminal or juggle multiple devices.
Simplified, Integrated Payments
The same device also handles all payment functions — directly within Squirrel Cloud POS — eliminating the need for separate pay-at-table apps or workflows. This includes:
- Split checks, item splits, and partial payments, all performed natively in Squirrel
- Gift card redemptions, balance checks, and activations
- Voids and refunds, fully integrated with the POS for accurate reconciliation
This unified experience reduces training time, minimizes errors, and ensures a smoother, faster guest checkout — all from the same device used to take the order.
Who It’s For
Squirrel Order & Pay is ideal for:
- Full-service restaurants looking to incorporate tableside ordering
- Full-service restaurants currently using multiple devices tableside and seeking to simplify
- Mobile service environments such as resorts and casinos where servers need to stay with the guest
- Line busting, catering, or food trucks, where having POS and payments on a single portable device simplifies operations and reduces setup complexity
Whether you’re looking to modernize your dining room or mobilize your service model, this solution is built to adapt to your environment.
