Square’s new kiosk combines a 21.5-inch touchscreen with voice-based menu assistance and is available to eligible subscribers for $1,999.
Square introduced the Square Kiosk on October 14, 2026, giving businesses using its Plus or Premium subscriptions a self-service ordering device that combines a large touchscreen with voice interaction. The hardware costs $1,999, and Square charges an additional $99 monthly software fee for each device.
Customers can speak with an AI system about a seller’s menu, ask questions, and request changes or substitutions while placing an order. The kiosk also has a 21.5-inch display and presence detection, which Square says can prompt it to welcome customers as they approach. For payment, it supports both contactless transactions and card insertion.
The voice feature is intended to let customers describe what they want rather than rely solely on navigating a touchscreen menu. In practice, its usefulness will depend on how well it handles questions and order changes against each business’s menu; Square’s announcement describes the capabilities but does not provide performance results or details about how the system responds when it cannot fulfill a request.
The pricing makes the product a hardware-and-software purchase rather than a one-time kiosk expense. A business considering deployment would pay the stated $1,999 device price plus $99 per month for each unit, and must have a Square Plus or Premium subscription. Square says the kiosk is available starting October 14, but the announcement does not specify a broader rollout schedule or additional eligibility requirements.
