My local coffee shop gave up and closed after the 4th hour of this outage. They tried accepting cash for a while, but apparently nobody in Seattle carries cash anymore.
I wonder this as well. I am sitting here with a deadline to run payroll in 38 minutes. I cannot login to square to see how much tips to pay everyone... I know I shouldn't wait until the last minute but such is this life some days, its going to effect when payroll is deposited in their accounts.
Not to mention we cannot sell anything, thankfully we have a second point of sell as an o shit backup on that part.
Tips calc you almost have to wait till last minute - unless your running payroll offset in the past. That's not a you problem, the system should be available.
And, for Square, at least split reporting from processing. Why have two critical systems down at once?
It's wild. This thing has been down for 5 hours. I cannot imagine the insane amount of data they will process when everyone comes back from offline mode. They're at POW point and we still have no idea if they've even identified the problem yet.
