Here is some insight on cash in restaurants. Shake Shack backed off of it but still is working towards cashless. The CEO reasons are:
Safety: We’ve mitigated the very real security risks associated with having large quantities of cash on-site, so we can become a safer place for our team and our guests.
Efficiency: We’ve streamlined our operations, eliminating cash-counting, and facilitating easier shift transitions (team members can jump on the register without the time-consuming security steps involved in cash-tray change-outs.)
Speed: Without handling cash and making change, we can serve more guests in far less time, meaning you spend less time waiting in line to place your order and pay.
Here is LinkedIn article from Meyer the CEO

Square has always made hardware, but its new Android-based tablet shows it’s serious about controlling the payments experience.
Source: www.wired.com
Good article on how Square has taken charge of its hardware and utilized design principles based on dual-user employee-customer interface model.
The 10" iPad that swiveled had too many shortcomings. Now it is a purpose-built Android at 13" and two screens.
The result of the whole process was not a single tablet, but a two-in-one device. The Square Register is comprised of a 13-inch, anodized aluminum tablet, which is stamped and machined. It has an HD touchscreen display and, while it’s attached to a stand, it was designed to look like it’s hovering in space. The second, seven-inch tablet can either be docked in the back of the big tablet, or sit elsewhere on the counter, attached by micro-USB. This small tablet’s display is Gorilla Glass, in case it gets dropped or knocked off the counter.
The register is running on two Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processors. And in a move that is indeed very Apple-y, Square has designed its own secure enclave, a co-processor for processing encrypted payment information. About a dozen employees at Square work on the silicon team.
