Lox in A Box | Growing in Sync
"As we've grown Square's grown with us. Having a POS system and hardware that's easy to use and the same across all the stores means that we can walk into Bondi, Coogee, or Manly and know what we're doing.”
- Candy Berger, Co-Owner Lox In A Box
Ingredients for success
Lox In A Box has been using Square since day one, and as they have scaled, so has Square. Let's take a peek behind the counter.
- Square Register powering all three stores
- 20+ Item Modifiers allowing customers to personalise their favourite Lox in a Box Bagel
- Square Online ordering for easy pre-ordering & pickup
- Third-party integrations for delivery allowing Lox in a Box to serve customers all over Sydney
- A Square Loan to help fund Lox in a Box's venue expansion*
The next move is yours with a small business loan
Our Manly store wouldn't have been possible without the Square Loan, it was a super easy process, all we had to do was accept the offer and it was deposited into our account three days later.”*
- Gaia Lovell, Co-owner, Lox In A Box

FAQs
Which Square device is best suited for my type of business?
The best Square device for your business depends on how and where you take payments.

- Square Handheld is well suited to businesses that need to take payments, manage orders, or scan items on the move, such as in hospitality or retail environments where staff operate away from a fixed counter.
- Square Terminal suits businesses that want an all-in-one payments device with a built-in screen and receipt printer, whether at the counter or on the go.
- Square Register is designed for fixed checkout locations, such as retail stores and hospitality venues, that need a complete point-of-sale setup with an integrated customer display and no additional tablet required.
All Square devices work with Square point-of-sale software and support a range of payment methods commonly used in Australia. Device availability, features, and compatibility may vary, so it's best to review product details to find the option that fits your business needs.
