Stampede Partners with Square to Drive Growth in Hospitality Sector
Stampede launches integration powered by Square Restaurant POS, enabling restaurants to unify orders, payments, and guest data in a single platform via the new Stampede PayOS module.
Stampede, a provider of unified guest engagement technology for hospitality brands, today announced a partnership with Square, the business platform that helps sellers become neighbourhood favourites. This partnership led to the development and launch of the Stampede PayOS module within Stampede’s hospitality tech platform. Powered by Square, Stampede PayOS enables restaurant operators to unite orders, payments, and guest data within a single platform, equipping operators to increase revenue and guest loyalty against the backdrop of today’s challenging business environment.
A partnership born out of customer demand
Born out of demand from Stampede’s clients, the partnership involves a highly sophisticated integration between the two companies’ technologies. Operators can use the Square Restaurant POS and Stampede PayOS together to capture valuable insights about guest purchases, values, and frequency both during and after their visit. The data is seamlessly merged with guest profiles stored in the Stampede system, and is visible to front-of-house teams on the Square Restaurant POS system. This enables more effective, personalised customer service and marketing efforts. Operators can also benefit from more granular-level reporting on marketing successes, the status of guest engagements, and revenue generation.
The Stampede and Square integration unlocks a fully connected, future-ready ecosystem in a single destination – without the costs and complications of connecting multiple disparate systems in order to manage and merge POS and customer data. Stampede PayOS also eliminates the ‘data gap’ that limits many restaurants’ marketing, sales, and operational teams, and supports the rapid deployment of valuable business management tools, like predictive spend forecasting, no-touch loyalty, and AI-driven workflows.
The best guest experience: key features
Key features of the integrated solution include:
- Unified guest profiles: Every purchase, booking, review, loyalty interaction, and contact detail is stored in one profile for precise personalisation and targeting.
- Smarter loyalty and rewards: Loyalty linked to payment cards with no scanning needed. Offers are triggered at purchase, and automatic discounts are applied after visits.
- Advanced personalisation: Customers targeted by spend, purchase history, dietary preference, visit frequency or review sentiment, supported by AI-assisted segment building.
- Real-time marketing execution: Instant spend and visit data for automated campaigns, without relying on third-party data.
- Operational efficiency: Select from a wide choice of hardware for busy coffee shops or a full-service terminal for multi-site operators, Square’s sleek devices integrate seamlessly.
“Our partnership with Square marks a significant upgrade for businesses using both Square and Stampede technologies, with our combined solutions providing a powerful proposition for the hospitality industry,” says Patrick Clover, Founder and CEO, Stampede. “Hospitality businesses now have the potential to become smarter, deliver more personalised marketing, and become more efficient in managing POS and guest engagement. Together, we offer a highly accessible way for operators of all sizes to modernise their sales and marketing strategies in order to counterbalance and build resistance to the macroeconomic effects challenging our sector – instead, providing a unified solution that supports growth.”
Emily McCleave, UK Strategic Partnerships, Square adds, “We are delighted to welcome Stampede as a Square partner. By combining our strengths, we offer sellers more value by bringing Square data into Stampede’s guest engagement products, enabling sellers to provide highly personalised guest, loyalty, and marketing experiences to their customers. Together, we’re helping hospitality businesses drive efficiency, growth and long-standing customer relationships.
