Questions

Good to know

Why is there an ordering fee?

It covers the cost of running Parakalo. It's a small flat amount per order, from 20c and capped at $2.90, and it's always shown upfront, before you pay.

Is my card safe?

Payments are processed by Square. Parakalo never sees or stores card numbers.

Do venues need new hardware?

No. Parakalo works with the Square POS, printers and KDS a venue already has.

Which POS systems do you work with?

Square, for now.

How long does setup take?
