Squirrel Systems is a Canadian hospitality technology company that develops point‑of‑sale (POS) software and related systems for restaurants and food‑and‑beverage operators. Founded in 1984, the company is headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia.[1][2]

History

Squirrel Systems was founded in 1984 and has been referenced in trade publications as an early participant in the development of restaurant point‑of‑sale technology. Over time, the company expanded its product offerings to support a range of restaurant service models and operational requirements.[3]

Industry journalism documents a shift in the company’s technology strategy during the late 2010s, including the introduction of cloud‑based POS architecture intended to support scalable deployments for hospitality operators.[4]

In July 2024, Squirrel Systems was acquired by Volaris Group, an operating group within Constellation Software Inc. The terms of the transaction were not publicly disclosed.[5][6]

Products and services

Squirrel Systems develops point‑of‑sale software and related tools used by hospitality operators in full‑service and quick‑service restaurant environments. Its product portfolio has been covered repeatedly by hospitality trade publications, which have reported on the company’s POS platform releases, scalability initiatives, and cloud‑based deployments.[7]

Industry coverage has also placed Squirrel Systems within broader reporting on restaurant technology trends and POS platform innovation.[8]

Squirrel Cloud POS

Squirrel Systems’ cloud‑native platform, marketed as Squirrel Cloud POS, was introduced in 2019 and positioned for deployment across independent and multi‑location restaurant operations.[9]

Trade publication coverage described the platform’s expansion into full‑service restaurant environments, including the introduction of functionality designed to support complex table‑service operations and integrated partner solutions.[10]

Further reporting at the National Restaurant Association Show in 2022 referenced a full‑service restaurant edition of the Squirrel Cloud POS, highlighting workflows intended for table‑service dining environments.[11]

Corporate structure

Following its acquisition in 2024, Squirrel Systems operates as part of Volaris Group.[12]
