Square and Toast both just plugged into reservation platforms

Original headline: Square and Toast deepen their ties to reservations partners

Why this matters

Square is deepening its integration with OpenTable, and Toast just connected with Resy, giving restaurants that use both systems a more unified view of reservation and payment data. On paper, richer data is good. The catch is that tighter integrations also mean more vendor lock-in: switching your POS or your reservation platform later gets more expensive and disruptive. For an indie operator already running Square or Toast, this is worth watching because new integrations often come with new fees buried in an updated terms-of-service email most owners never open.

What to do

Reread your Square or Toast subscription agreement for any recent terms changes before the next billing cycle.
