One platform for direct ordering and guest growth
Grow first-party ordering with a branded experience built around Square
One menu across every ordering channel
Run web, app, and catering from the Square menu you already manage, with menus, modifiers, pricing, and availability kept in sync.
Keep more of every delivery order
Move more customers from third-party marketplaces to your own app and website, helping you avoid 15 to 30% marketplace commissions while keeping the customer relationship.
Turn first-party data into the next order
When customers order directly, the relationship does not end at checkout.
Use Square segments to understand who is ordering, then bring them back through loyalty, push, SMS, and email.

Groucho’s Deli connected web, app, and catering around one omnichannel Square menu with Per Diem.
“We adapt, we don't change. The sandwich is the sandwich. What had to change was how our guests get to it. We needed web, app, and catering to run as one experience, on one omnichannel menu, tied straight into Square. That's what we built with Per Diem.”
