Chefy + Square: live margin on every sale
Connect your Square POS and Chefy links each sale back to its recipe cost, so you see the margin on every item as it sells, without exporting a thing.
What the Square integration gives you
Sales linked to costing
Each Square sale is matched to its costed recipe, so revenue and cost sit side by side.
Margin per item
See the gross margin on every dish and drink, updated as ingredient prices change.
No manual entry
Sales come across automatically, no end-of-day exports or re-keying figures.
Item-level reporting
Spot your best and worst performers by margin, not just by sales volume.
How the Square integration works
Authorise Chefy from your settings in a couple of clicks. No developer setup, no spreadsheets.
Your Square sales flow into Chefy and match to the recipes and menu items you've already costed.
Every sale shows its cost and margin in real time, so you know which items make money as prices move.

Square is where it starts, not where it ends
Chefy turns your Square sales into margin, then runs the rest of the venue from the same data: recipe and menu costs, stocktakes and reporting, across the kitchen and the bar.
Square is the POS we build around
Square is a complete point of sale for hospitality: payments, terminals and reporting in one place. If you are not on Square yet it is worth a look, and it is the POS Chefy links to first.
Square integration FAQ
How do I connect Square to Chefy?
Authorise Chefy from your Square settings in a couple of clicks. There is no developer setup and nothing to export, and your sales start syncing straight away.
What does Chefy pull from Square?
Chefy syncs your Square sales and menu items and matches each sale to its costed recipe. That gives you cost, sale price and gross margin on every item as it sells.
Do I need to export anything from Square?
No. Sales come across automatically, so there are no end-of-day exports or re-keyed figures.
What if I use a different POS?
Square is the POS Chefy links to today. If you use another system, tell us. We track every request to decide what to build next.
Does Chefy work if I am not on Square yet?
You can still cost recipes and menus in Chefy without a POS connected. To link sales to cost automatically you would connect Square, and if you are new to Square it is worth a look as a modern hospitality POS.
