Today, Square released a new report that reveals how retailers and restaurateurs are taking control of the future by delivering on customers’ evolving expectations — with an intentional focus on technology, operating efficiency, and customer experiences. Square developed the Future of Restaurants and Future of Retail reports to provide a snapshot of what businesses are investing in and what’s working.
“We’re seeing restaurants shift to a model that places more emphasis on the kitchen as the central hub of the operation” Tweet
To uncover these insights, Square collaborated with Wakefield Research to survey restaurateurs, retailers, and consumers across the U.S. Additionally, Square spoke to businesses and industry experts to share how retailers and restaurateurs are facing challenges, embracing innovative solutions, and forging new paths forward in 2021.
“Scrappiness is in our sellers’ DNA and, in 2021, we’re expecting more of the same. It will be more important than ever to find creative ways to meet consumers where they are most comfortable, providing memorable experiences in-store, online, curbside, and everywhere in between,” said Alyssa Henry, Seller Lead at Square.
For example, after chef Anthony Strong closed his popular San Francisco restaurant Prairie last August in the wake of COVID-19, he didn’t give up. He emerged a couple months later with a new concept: He transformed his 1989 Volkswagen van into a mobile dining room, traveling the city to serve up a four-course “glamping” dining experience. While shuttering Prairie was devastating, Strong did what entrepreneurs have done time and again – got back to work and innovated in the face of adversity.
Overwhelmingly, the report found that restaurants and retailers alike are undertaking big changes to existing strategies and adopting new technologies to stay ahead of the curve. For example, we saw retailers increasingly turning to online and social selling to continue serving their customers – in fact:
88% of retailers are now selling online
For retailers with one location that sells online, 66% of their revenue comes from online sales
84% of retailers who sell online either already sell on social media or plan to this year
Among retailers selling on social media, 40% of their online revenue comes from social selling
Online shoppers bought an average of eight products from social media sites directly in the past month, at the time of this survey
74% of retailers plan on using real-time inventory technology this year
72% of consumers prefer delivery over pickup, but only 37% of retailers plan to offer same-day delivery.
“Retail has changed rapidly over the last year,” said Square’s head of eCommerce, David Rusenko. “But the transformation is giving retailers a chance to slow down and invest in doing things smarter across both in-store and online channels. The changes aren’t a way to simply make it through – they’re permanent and redefining what a meaningful retail experience can look like.”
And it’s not just retailers who are seeing massive shifts in 2021, restaurants are also fundamentally reimagining the way they do business to keep their operation running smoothly, improve their bottom line, and continue serving their customers.
91% of restaurants have made, or plan to make, investments in kitchen automation technology.
Restaurants expect 62% of their revenue to come from takeout or delivery in 2021.
58% of restaurants prefer to use their own app or website for delivery.
Nearly half of restaurant owners or managers plan to continue offering digital menu access using URL or QR codes in 2021
3 in 4 restaurants plan on offering contactless ordering and payment options across all channels, with 61% utilizing contactless payments on-premise
42% of restaurants plan to invest in customer loyalty programs
Restaurants that are using online ordering for delivery and takeout expect 62% of revenue to come through those online channels
67% of consumers prefer to use a restaurant’s own website or app for food delivery
92% of restaurant owners and managers are open to experimenting with their menu
“We’re seeing restaurants shift to a model that places more emphasis on the kitchen as the central hub of the operation,” said Bruce Bell, head of Square for Restaurants. “Restaurants are embracing new channels for customers to interact with their business, effectively meeting them wherever they are. Each of these channels represents a revenue stream for the restaurant and they connect to the same kitchen and are all managed by the same centralized POS system.”
Despite a hard year, the future is full of opportunities for restaurateurs and retailers.

The Voter Key Card works as a key and Voter ID card to unlock a citizen’s ballot to cast or record votes. It leverages bankcard and several other security measures to prevent election fraud. It works to ensure that only living citizens vote one time in any election.
Voter Key Card is comprehensive solution and system invented to prevent election fraud. It leverages conventional bankcard and banking fraud prevention technology, including multi-factor authentication, address verification, identity verification and new methods aimed on securing each ballot cast and overall elections. The Voter Key Card solution is a patent-pending solution invented by Randy Smith.
Mr. Smith is not new to inventing solutions to prevent fraud in consumer financial transactions. In the past 20 years, he has invented solutions to prevent Identity Theft and bankcard payment fraud. In 2015 he introduced Card1, a Universal Card and Wallet App. In 2010, his company MobilePayUSA won TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Alley in San Francisco. In 2014 a US patent was granted for this invention that required no new hardware or software at point of sale to enable mobile payments without an NFC chip in the phone or in the merchant payment terminal.
“America has been awakened to the reality that our elections may not be very secure. This is or should be extremely concerning to all Americans. If our voting process is indeed compromised and vulnerable to fraud in determining the outcome of elections, America no longer has a Democracy, but rather has an election system where the votes of citizens may have little to no impact in determining outcome of elections,” states Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith continues “Credible IT experts gave testimony on news reports that electronic voting machines were very vulnerable to fraud occurring. One judge in Michigan even ruled as such. Mail-In ballots and signature matching also seem to leave door open for fraud to occur as they are manually processed and only viewed by election officials and workers when tallied. The vote tallying process appeared to have little true chain of custody or transparency. This is especially true in comparing to payment or Blockchain transactions. I asked myself, does not our voting process need to be as secure as payment processing or online banking? It made me think how secure in-person payments and even now online payments are and how locked down payment terminals are and bankcards with chips are. Not long after the Voter Key Card solution came to mind. I realized there was a way to leverage the security of payments, multi-factor authentication of the citizen’s identity and other security measures to secure our elections.”
Visit VoterKeyCard.com or read below to learn how the Voter Key Card system works to prevent fraud.
The Voter Key Card works as a key and Voter ID card to unlock a citizen’s ballot to cast or record votes. It leverages bankcard and several other security measures to prevent election fraud. It works to ensure that only living citizens vote one time in any election.
The Voter Key Card is used as a key to obtain a one-time Voting Code that is used to open a ballot. For in person voting a Voter Key Card is used just like a retail transaction to obtain a Voting Code, which is printed on a credit card receipt. These payment terminals would be programmed to only process Voter Key Cards. The Voting Code will be securely entered to open a ballot. Without a valid Voting Code a ballot may not be opened to cast votes. Those voting via Mail-In or Absentee ballots may obtain a Voting Code via online e-commerce like transaction and enter the Voting Code and their Voter Key Card number onto paper ballot. A citizen’s paper ballot may not be considered valid or even tallied without a Voter Key Card number and Voting Code.
Before issuing a card to citizens, the citizen’s identity would be verified in several ways. This would be done in coordination with state Voter Registration systems and websites. In this verification of identity process, citizens make a purchase using a personal bankcard at a website designated to verify identity utilizing address verification technology that matches the shoppers address and phone number on file with the bank that issued the bankcard. I see this purchase could cost $0 dollars with applying a coupon code issued by email or logging into the platform of the system. Also, this address will need to match the address on file with the state in which the citizen resides, the Voter Registration database and ideally the Internal Revenue database as well.
And remember, banks require verifying government issued ID and Social Security number before ever issuing a bankcard or opening a bank account. This ID verification process of making a purchase online using their own personal bankcard, is a simple, quick and inexpensive method of extra verification of citizens to ensure their identity is valid.
According to the FDIC as of June 2020, only 14.1 million Americans do not have a bank account. If a citizen does not have a bankcard, they would mail in a copy of a utility bill or utilize a phone authentication service to digitally verify identity and their address as well. Once a citizen’s identity is fully verified, a Voter Key Card would be mailed to the citizen’s residence or possibly pick it up locally.
Activating a Voter Key Card would work identically as when receiving a new bank credit card in the mail by calling a card activation number, possibly answering some key questions related to their credit history online and having to call from the phone listed by the citizen in the Voter Registration database.
Once a citizen has completed their ballot in person the citizen will receive a paper copy of their cast ballot and should review it ensure their votes cast were as intended and not altered. Then citizens will have this paper ballot scanned and saved as a PDF file. This file will be uploaded to Voter Key Card platform to be formally submitted as a valid ballot. Citizen’s may also use a Voter Key Card app to take pictures of their paper ballot. This app would convert the images into a PDF file and upload it to the Voter Key Card platform. The citizen will receive a text and/or email confirmation that their ballot was successfully uploaded and will be asked to confirm the PDF ballot uploaded is exact copy of their paper ballot by logging in online to the Voter Key Card platform via website or mobile app.
The final step, after the citizen’s ballot is processed, will be a message sent by email, text or mail informing citizen to review the Summary of their Votes online at the Voter Key Card website (or state’s Voter Registration site using Voter Key Card System) or mobile app. Once logged in and having reviewed the Voting Summary and comparing it to their PDF and/or paper copy of their ballot, the citizen shall confirm their votes were cast as submitted on paper ballot or contest it. If the citizen fails to contest or confirm their ballot was accurately processed as cast within a certain time frame, then the Voting Summary would become final.
If contested, a publicly aired livestream adjudication of their ballot shall be conducted. The citizen’s name, any personal information and their Voter Key Card number and Voting Code shall be blacked out. The ruling made here may be contested a 2nd time and adjudicated in Final Ruling by citizens viewing the ballot and casting votes to confirm or contest the Voting Summary. If original Voting Summary is overruled, a new Voting Summary shall be quickly generated and displayed.
The last few months has made Americans consider the very real possibility that mass election fraud and interference in our elections occurred, even possibly by foreign governments via cyber attacks into electronic voting machines.
Mr. Smith asks “How are elections just if they are not secure? Should we not have a vote tally system that is transparent and independent of the voting system? Up to millions of Americans witnessed testimony by credible IT experts that shared how electronic voting machines may be very insecure and very vulnerable to attacks via the internet and even possibly internally by election office administrators or poll workers. Does it not make sense to leverage the security of card payments and use multi-factor authentication to verify identity to allow citizens to vote once?”
Mr. Smith continues “I estimate the Voter Key Card system and platform can be built to scale within 4-6 months. This is with full automation and a platform capable of being seamlessly and securely integrated with state Voter Registration platforms via an API. Of course, this assumes millions of dollars of funding are supplied to swiftly design and build a platform capable of scale as used by 100’s of millions of users. In total with testing and API integrations to state Voter Registration platforms and other databases used to verify identity of citizens, it might take another 2-4 months to be ready to deploy in an election. It’s very possible this system could be ready for 2022 primary and Fall elections.
In conclusion, Mr. Smith states “It is crucial that our elections are secured. Voting is an absolutely integral part of democracy. Election fraud can silence the voice of citizens voting. Without secure elections, our Democracy is at serious risk. All Americans need to know their vote counts. This takes the securing of our election system.”

The problem, Stratford says, is not just a lack of cybersecurity awareness training, but getting training that works to the people who need it in the way they will actually use it. Most training doesn’t actually accomplish anything, and the numbers prove it.
The cost of a data breach, in terms of revenue, reputation, legal exposure, and operational disruption can be devastating; 60% of small-and-medium-sized businesses close within six months of experiencing a cyberattack. (1) Meanwhile, the problem is growing rapidly especially because of changes due to COVID-19; global cybercrime costs are expected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025, up from $3 trillion in 2015, reported by Cybercrime Magazine.(2) “Cybercrime is a global problem,” says Drip7 founder and CEO Heather Stratford, “but in every organization, there is a very local potential solution: a vigilant, engaged, and properly trained workforce.”
Over 90% of all cyberattacks, notes Stratford, are executed using information from employees who unwittingly give away their system ID and access credentials to hackers.(3) The problem, Stratford says, is not just a lack of cybersecurity awareness training, but getting training that works to the people who need it in the way they will actually use it. Most training doesn’t actually accomplish anything, and the numbers prove it. According to research from Forrester, she notes, over a third of employees who have had security awareness training still admit to disregarding security policies.(4) Microlearning, says Stratford, which breaks content into bite-size chunks, has been demonstrated to produce much better results than the traditional lecture-followed-by-a-test approach, both immediately and in terms of longer-range retention.(5)
An even more effective approach with today’s workforce, says Stratford, is a newly introduced breakthrough solution. It is called Drip7. By combining microlearning with gamification, the program applies game design to cybersecurity awareness training to increase retention. The most obvious parts of game design are points, awards, and leaderboards—but includes much more. Stratford notes that in a recent survey of nearly 900 employees, 83% of those who received gamified training felt more motivated as a result, while 61% of those who received non-gamified training felt bored and unproductive.(6)
“We call it Drip7,” says Stratford, “to emphasize a basic point: you don’t internalize something by hearing it once. You need to hear it seven times to remember and put the knowledge into practice.” Instead of lectures that remove employees from work, Drip7 training arrives in the form of a question a day that the employee answers. This increases engagement in learning and retention, and at its core keeps cybersecurity in the employee’s mind—not by force but through play.
Stratford, CEO and Founder of the cybersecurity training company Stronger International, developed the framework of Drip7 as part of a project to enhance the cybersecurity training within a large hospital system. As awareness of the solution’s capabilities spread it became apparent that the combination of microlearning, customizability, and gamification leading to high ongoing employee involvement answered a need not simply for one client or industry but for a worldwide digitized economy.
Drip7 is sold on a licensing basis, with over 80,000 users already licensed on the platform. For more information, please see drip7.com. “This isn’t a learning management system,” says Stratford, “It’s a way to make learning and training actually do what they need to do. Our goal is to take the fear out of cybersecurity and make it both fun and effective.”
About Drip7 Drip7 is the brainchild of cybersecurity expert Heather Stratford as a result of a client wanting to fix a specific problem: empowering the weakest link—the human—to use better cybersecurity. With its first few clients (a large educational institution, hospital system, and government agency), Drip7 is proving its usefulness in changing the old system of training and information retention in any workforce. Stratford explains it as, “Drip7 is a micro-learning platform that is re-inventing the way organizations train their employees and build lasting cultural change within them, especially in today’s age of remote workforces.” Visit drip7.com

News and business headlines alike have recently begun touting the popularity and importance of Cloud Computing. Amazon, Microsoft, Google to name a few are working to gain ground in the cloud computing market. Minneapolis-based Anarus™, Inc. is bringing the next generation of Cloud Computing to the world of manufacturing. Their product, GrandAnar™, is a secure cloud-based portal that provides a bridge for manufacturers to easily and securely share their product data seamlessly with their customers.

With GrandAnar’s cloud technology data portal, manufacturers share their product information securely and electronically only with the customers they choose to give access. GrandAnar becomes the “single source of truth” by providing a centralized repository for product information; updated as often as a manufacturer chooses.
GrandAnar provides a direct data connection between manufacturers and their distributor customers. The manufacturer’s rich product information – including data and customer-specific pricing – gets securely stored in their private account in the cloud. Once they give them permission, their retail or distributor customers can access the data; specific to their account; to use with their eCommerce, pricing, etc. The technology also allows distributors to automatically connect to the Cloud database and keep their ecommerce database updated with latest product information from manufacturers.
“It’s a decades old problem dating back to the start of technology in industry,” states Anarus Founder and President, Prashubh Batham. “Distributors need current, quality product data in order to sell to their customers and manufacturers spend tons of dollars and man-hours to provide information that is obsolete as soon as it’s sent out. Our platform eliminates the need for manipulating cumbersome spreadsheets or limited update capabilities to controlled industry databases.”
As an added benefit, Anarus has developed a Contractor mobile app – FriskerIt™ that is designed to provide the GrandAnar cloud data for contractors to search in the field. The design is that users can access specific product data, specs, pricing, etc. and then locate the supplier nearest their location to purchase it.
Anarus was founded in 2019 by Prashubh Batham. With more than 25+ years of experience, Batham has been instrumental in four successful software company startups, including the company in the business of developing, selling and maintaining B2B and B2C eCommerce and catalog software to wholesale distributors and manufacturers that he founded, successfully ran and sold.
