Square’s Big AI Leap
On October 8, 2025, Square unveiled its latest innovations, including AI-powered voice ordering and enhancements to its Square AI assistant, aimed at streamlining restaurant operations. This move signals a major push into AI for quick-service and delivery-focused spots, allowing AI to handle incoming calls, customize orders, and integrate directly with Square’s POS and kiosk ecosystem.
Key features include natural language processing for queries like “What’s your spicy dairy-free special?” and seamless handoff to kitchen systems—reducing wait times and labor strain. The upgraded AI assistant now pulls in local insights like weather and events to inform staffing and inventory decisions.
It’s a welcome step, but as restaurants race to adopt, many are discovering that true, plug-and-play solutions like Eva AI have been delivering these capabilities—with one-click Square integration—for months.

Market Momentum: Voice AI Is the Future
Square’s entry validates the booming demand for voice AI in restaurants, where phone orders still drive 20–30% of sales but often lead to missed calls during peaks. With the global voice AI market for hospitality projected to hit $49 billion by 2029, early adopters using Eva are already reaping benefits: lower labor costs, higher upsell rates, and consistent customer delight.
- Square’s voice AI automates calls to cut labor—Eva does it with 99% precision, plus analytics for menu optimization.
- The AI assistant’s local insights are smart; Eva layers in predictive forecasting for inventory and staffing.
- While Square focuses on Bitcoin and kiosks, Eva’s open cloud enables custom apps and third-party expansions.
