If your business has moved beyond basic payments and simple POS needs, the difference between Tableview and Square becomes clear. Compares how each platform supports real operational workflows as complexity grows.
For many businesses, Square is a starting point. As operations grow more complex, the POS must support kitchens, inventory, purchasing, reporting, and multiple locations, not just checkout.
Tableview is built as a full hospitality operations system, while Square focuses primarily on payments and basic POS functionality.
Tableview supports kitchens, modifiers, inventory, procurement, and reporting natively without relying on multiple add-ons.
Tableview adapts to restaurants, bars, hotels, takeaway counters, food trucks, and cloud kitchens as they expand.
Operational performance goes beyond how fast a payment is processed. It includes order accuracy, kitchen coordination, stock visibility, and the ability to act on data in real time.
Tableview brings these elements together in one system, helping businesses improve efficiency across service, preparation, and back-office workflows not just at the point of sale.
