Centralized Database Build

After you’ve purchased your Squirrel in a Box, you will be asked to provide the information needed by the Implementations team to build the database for your system — for example, your menus, tax rates, and business hours. After your database has been built, we will conduct a review with you and ensure any requested changes are made. Upon receiving sign off that the database has been completed to your satisfaction, your system is prepared for shipping.

Training

Once you have assembled your Squirrel in a Box using a simple, step-by-step assembly guide and your system is connected to the internet, our Implementations team will conduct two 2.5-hour training sessions (for a total of five hours) with you. We make sure to review all the features that you’ll need to run your business more efficiently.

30-day New Customer Program

Over the next 30 days following the completion of your training, you will receive regular follow ups from our Implementations team since we are committed to providing the support you need for the successful operation of your Squirrel in a Box.
