From a quick read of the docs, it's just simple status management - basically a kitchen ticket tracker. Orders move from Pending to Accepted to Done and parties are notified along the way.

The most interesting part to me was this:

"Square’s standard fee of 2.75% will be applied to the total amount of each pickup sale for a limited time, until July 1st, 2014. After this time, the fee will be 8% per pickup order."

Steep, but this part sounds expensive:

"If an order isn't accepted within 2 minutes, a Square Team member will call you directly, so please keep a phone nearby."

I do think Square could better explain why this service is 8% while everything else they provide is included in the 2.75% normal rate.

"While the 8% fee seems high compared to Square's standard 2.75% transaction fee, the average merchant fee for food ordering services is about 13.5%, McKee says. Square is offering a promotional rate of 2.75% per order through July 1."
