Square is a POS system, comparing it with a cash register is ridiculous. Many POS systems sold to restaurants fly well above the thousands of dollars with shitty UIs that take hours for employees to learn (knowing the turnover in the food industry, it's a lot of wasted time).

Not anymore. Clover costs $500-$1000 and works for categories of retailers that Square doesn't, particularly table service restaurants.
Must not have been Square that I saw a server using to swipe cards on an iPad mini, then.

(edit: nope, it was Breadcrumb)
