So they just bought their customer list?
- philip1209 10y agoI bet that many off the customers on that list already use Square (e.g. Philz is a big user of both Square and OrderAhead). They may have purchased OrderAhead so that "preordered" items don't cut into their revenue.

- chambo622 10y agoI wonder if this means Square doesn't have much headcount to fill at the moment - usually you'd expect to see them find roles for the employees in a deal like this.
