Nathanaël and Damien founded @myfavouritesandwich to bring sandwiches that go beyond the ordinary, with top-tier ingredients, inventive flavour pairings, and a dash of nostalgia.
We joined them for the day to see how Square supports the business behind the counter. With shops in Shoreditch and Paddington – and more growth on the way – speed and simplicity matter.
The team uses built-in Square AI for fast answers and day-to-day troubleshooting to find quick solutions and answers built around their specific business info, with the touch of a finger.
On weekends, The Roll Boys take over the Shoreditch shop from 10am every Saturday and Sunday, so you can get your cinnamon bun and sandwich fix all in one go.

A lot of point-of-sale systems handle payments separately. Extra providers, extra fees, extra complexity. With Square it’s all built together - point-of-sale, payments, reporting. One system from day one. Get started with Square, head to the link in bio.
We were in sandwich heaven recently at @crunch.london
Tucked away on Dean Street in the heart of Soho, their first-ever brick-and-mortar brings bold, premium sandwiches to one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.
Honest. True. Hearty.
