As Square has grown, so have our sellers – going from businesses with just a few employees, to many (sometimes hundreds or thousands!). Square Staff represents a suite of labor management, payroll, and communications tools that enables business owners, managers, and employees to thrive together. We provide valuable insights to sellers using data collected from our ecosystem with the goal of helping them make informed decisions about their workforce. We aspire to eliminate the hours of weekly drudgery that sellers and team members expend staying aligned and provide tools to build better relationships between employers and employees. We are building the most intelligent back office software available anywhere, boosted by our ecosystem of data, 360 degree view of the business, and direct relationship with all team members. Square Staff helps give our sellers the peace of mind that their business is running smoothly, even if they're not physically present.
