Square Order

Square's new online ordering app, the aptly named Order, is now available in New York City and San Francisco. The app allows users to place and pay for orders online at participating business, and then go pick it up in the store.

The process is simple: browse the selection of nearby shops, cafes, and restaurants right from your phone, pick what you want to buy, buy it and optionally add a tip, and then when you get a notification, go and pick it up. No muss, no fuss.

Square Order is available on the iOS App Store for iPhone, and is currently in open beta for Android. The back-end retailer infrastructure for Order was launched two weeks ago, along with offline sales and inventory tracking.
