Clover review

Clover is best known for its hardware, and its restaurant page leans on it: Station Solo for the main counter, Station Duo with a customer screen for high-volume lines, the compact Mini, the Flex and Flex Pocket handhelds for tableside orders, the Go reader for phones, a kitchen display system and a self-ordering kiosk. The software covers coursing, menu modifications, seating and table maps up front, timed order routing and inventory tracking in the kitchen, and a single back-office dashboard. Online ordering is commission-free and ties into third-party delivery apps. Clover is run by Fiserv's First Data, which means credit approval and underwriting for every account. Through December 31, 2026, qualified new merchants get 90 days with no SaaS fees on the Essentials plan, and a $450 hardware credit that requires a three-year contract. We could not confirm USD plan prices from the pricing page on the check date, so get your rate in writing.
