MenuBeacon product

Connect restaurant events without vague “POS sync” claims

Send signed outbound webhooks for supported restaurant events, inspect delivery logs, rotate secrets, and import a Square catalog into MenuBeacon through a one-way connection.

Webhooks are Pro in supported markets and allow up to 3 HTTPS endpoints per restaurant. Square is a one-way catalog import—not order sync or write-back.

Illustrative workflow · Product behaviour described on this page

Outbound webhooks

Subscribe HTTPS endpoints to supported order, payment, service, rating, and reservation events.

Signed deliveries

Verify HMAC-SHA256 signatures and rotate the endpoint secret when needed.

Square catalog import

Bring Square catalog data into MenuBeacon and re-sync it in one direction.

The operational problem

An integration page should say exactly what moves where

MenuBeacon exposes specific outbound events and a specific Square catalog import. That clarity helps technical teams decide whether the connection matches the job.

What changes

Useful building blocks with verifiable boundaries

Webhook deliveries use HMAC-SHA256 signing and include test, logging, retry, and secret-rotation workflows. Public menu, status, and widget endpoints are available, but a full management API is not promised.

How it works

Connect the event, then observe the delivery

The integration controls live beside the restaurant they represent.

  1. 1

    Choose supported events

    Select the restaurant events the external system needs.

  2. 2

    Add an HTTPS endpoint

    Configure one of up to three webhook destinations for the restaurant.

  3. 3

    Test and verify

    Send a test, validate its HMAC signature, and inspect delivery logs.

  4. 4

    Monitor retries and rotate

    Use delivery history and secret rotation as the connection evolves.

Webhook event families

Use only the events your integration needs.

  • Order creation, status, and cancellation
  • Payment, refund, waiter-call, and rating
  • Reservation creation

Square scope

The Square connection has one clear direction.

  • Catalog import and re-sync into MenuBeacon
  • No order synchronization
  • No MenuBeacon write-back to Square

Good fit for

Use it where it removes a real handoff

  • Notify an internal system about new orders
  • Process supported events with a signed endpoint
  • Use an existing Square catalog to start a MenuBeacon menu

Straight answers

Restaurant Integrations questions

Does MenuBeacon sync orders with Square?

No. The current Square connection imports and re-syncs catalog data into MenuBeacon. Orders are not synchronized and MenuBeacon does not write back.

How are webhooks secured?

Deliveries are signed with HMAC-SHA256. Endpoints must use HTTPS, and the secret can be rotated.

How many webhook endpoints can I add?

Up to 3 endpoints can be configured per restaurant.

Is there a full restaurant management API?

A full authenticated management API is not currently promised. Public endpoints focus on menu, status, and widget use cases.

Connect only what the product can reliably send

Review the supported event and catalog scopes, then use the developer tools for a precise integration.
