On this episode of The Late Night Restaurant Podcast, Jay and Domenic sit down with Karisa Marra from Square to dig into how modern POS systems are changing the game for restaurants.
Karisa shares her journey from working the floor in busy dining rooms to leading Square’s Canadian sales team, and she breaks down how today’s tech can give operators back entire days of their lives.
They talk about the real challenges restaurants face right now, labour, training gaps, rising costs and how tools like Square can cut chaos, improve efficiency, and free managers to focus on what really matters... people, consistency, and better guest experiences. Along the way, there’s plenty of humor, a few quick jabs at old-school systems, and even a wild idea for a future Square feature that might blow your mind.
If you run a restaurant, work in one, or dream of opening one, this episode is packed with insights and laughs that’ll make you rethink what’s possible in your business.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
