vs. Square Kiosk
Which kiosk fits your restaurant?
Square Kiosk is a solid product - if you're on Square and an iPad on the counter is all you need. Here's an honest comparison for owners deciding between the two. (This is written from public Square documentation and community threads, current as of July 2026.)
| Square Kiosk | Seenu Kiosk | |
|---|---|---|
| Form factor | iPad (under 13") | 21.5"/24"/27" freestanding |
| Upfront cost | $149 hardware | $2,499 to own - or $0 monthly (limited slots) |
| Monthly | ~$50 software + requires Square Plus/Premium plan | $89 software subscription (paid once) · $215 × 24 months (monthly) |
| Custom branding | Square's template UI | A week of design for your store - screens built around your menu, photos and brand |
| Hardware support | Standard warranty | Next-business-day replacement (stock permitting), NYC metro & parts of NJ |
| Works with your POS | Square accounts only | Square, any other POS, or none at all |

Why screen size is the real difference
Size is the whole point.
customers self-select. A counter iPad gets used by people already standing at the counter - a large freestanding kiosk (21.5"-27") pulls people out of the line the moment they walk in. Bigger menu photos also do the upselling an employee would: combos, sides, and drinks sell themselves at full size. If the kiosk is meant to be a second register, the iPad is fine. If it's meant to be your main ordering lane, size is the whole point.
When Square Kiosk is the better choice
Square Kiosk
you're already on Square, you want the absolute lowest entry price, counter space is fine, and template UI doesn't bother you.
When Seenu Kiosk is the better choice
Seenu Kiosk
you want the kiosk to be your main ordering lane - visible from the door, branded as yours, with someone accountable when hardware fails. It's also the option if you're not on Square, since it works with any POS or none at all.
