What Can Square Managerbot Do for Your Business?
In Part One, we introduced Managerbot, Square’s AI-powered business agent that can surface important information, recommend actions, and help business owners decide what to do next.
Now, let’s take a closer look at what that could mean during an actual workday.
A Clearer View of Business Performance
Managerbot can bring together important information about sales, orders, labor, items, and customer activity.
Instead of opening several reports and comparing the numbers manually, owners can quickly see how the business performed, what changed, and where attention may be needed.
Managerbot can help answer questions such as:
How did yesterday’s sales compare with last week?
Is labor running higher than usual?
Which location performed the strongest?
Are certain items beginning to slow down?
Have customer purchasing patterns changed?
More importantly, owners do not always have to know what to ask. Managerbot can proactively surface meaningful changes and bring them to the owner’s attention.
From Information to Action
Managerbot does more than present business data. It can help explain what the information means and recommend a practical next step.
For example, it may identify regular customers who have not returned recently and suggest a promotion to bring them back. Managerbot can then help create the email campaign for the owner to review, edit, and approve.
Instead of leaving the owner with another report to interpret, it helps turn the information into something useful.
Smarter Employee Scheduling
Creating an employee schedule requires more than filling open shifts. Owners must consider employee availability, expected sales, coverage needs, and labor costs.
Managerbot can analyze that information and prepare a draft schedule with appropriate coverage.
The owner can review the schedule, make changes, and approve it before it is finalized. This helps reduce the time spent building schedules while keeping the final decision in the owner’s hands.
Easier Inventory Management
Simplify Inventory Management
Receiving inventory and preparing purchase orders can require a significant amount of manual work.
Managerbot can help receive new inventory, create purchase orders, and update inventory counts. It can even use information from a vendor invoice, packing list, or order confirmation email to prepare the purchase order.
It can also help identify inventory concerns before they affect sales or service.
More Accurate Menus and Catalogs
Missing descriptions, incorrect item information, duplicate tax rates, and outdated menu details can create problems for both employees and customers.
Managerbot can identify missing or incomplete information and help update multiple items or menus at once.
That can replace the time-consuming process of opening and editing every item individually. If an account change needs to be reversed, the owner can also ask Managerbot to undo the action.
Customer Information That Becomes Useful
Analyze Customer Trends
Customer information becomes more valuable when a business can use it to make meaningful decisions.
Managerbot can analyze sales and customer activity to identify potential marketing opportunities. It can then help create email campaigns for promotions, featured items, business announcements, or reaching customers who have not returned recently.
The owner remains in control of reviewing, editing, and approving the campaign.
Less Time Searching. More Time Running the Business.
Managerbot’s greatest advantage is not simply its ability to answer questions.
It can identify something that may need attention, explain why it matters, recommend a response, and help prepare the work. The business owner still makes the final decision.
That means less time pulling reports, checking inventory, building schedules, correcting catalog information, and preparing marketing campaigns.
The goal is a clearer understanding of the business, fewer important details slipping through the cracks, and more time for the customers and work that matter most.

Managerbot is currently available in open beta to most non-franchise food and beverage, retail, and health and beauty sellers in the United States at no additional cost.
Managerbot currently works inside Square Dashboard and requires internet access. Because it uses AI technology, sellers should review its responses and confirm information for accuracy.
