Bitcoin Pizza Day feels different this year.
The first real-world bitcoin transaction wasn’t a mistake. It was the beginning of #bitcoin being used as money.
Now, more than 15 years later, people are using bitcoin to pay, earn, save, and move money around the world everyday.
Laszlo helped prove that future was possible.
This week's Square releases give every part of your operation — kitchen, counter, and online — more control with less setup.
→ Drive-Thru is here — built for lane operations, with automatic order numbering and digital menu board integration
→ Cycle counts built in bulk, not one item at a time
→ Allergen and seat-level notes follow every ticket to the kitchen
→ Ticket numbers that start fresh every morning
→ One screen to run your entire online ordering operation

No more someday. ₿itcoin is now. 🟠
