## When Storekit wins

- You need branded checkout, apps, and QR ordering that feel like your restaurant - not a generic Square storefront.
- You want catering, pay-at-table, and aggregator integrations without piecing together Square add-ons.
- You want published UK support hours and a named migration concierge.
- You want to keep Square for payments but own the ordering experience - we integrate where it makes sense.

> We used to use Square, which had lots of problems - and we'd need a member of staff to manage these. Now we can take orders with no issues. Our staffing costs have dropped like a stone.

## Switching from Square

### How long does switching from Square take?

A single-location restaurant is often live within a week. We import your Square menu export or connect via the tools you already use.

### Will I lose my Square guest data?

Guest lists import where Square's export allows. We confirm the row count with you before go-live.

### Can I migrate my Square menu and settings?

Yes for menu structure, modifiers, and pricing. Square-specific ecommerce settings do not map one-to-one - we flag gaps in the diff.

### What does it cost to switch?

Storekit charges no migration fee, and Starter and Grow you set up yourself. Review any Square subscription you pay today - we do not replicate competitor pricing on this page.

### Will my team need to retrain?

Ordering links change to your Storekit URL or app. If Square stays on the till, kitchen flow is unchanged. Admin training is typically under an hour.
