Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Clover for Restaurants is a point-of-sale system for full-service and quick-service restaurants, cafes, bars, food trucks, and similar businesses. It combines order entry, menu modifications, table mapping, table-status workflows, counter and tableside payments, inventory tracking, employee management, sales reporting, online ordering, delivery management, and kiosk self-ordering. The product is delivered through Clover POS hardware, restaurant software plans, optional peripherals, and integrations, making it a natural fit for restaurants already using Clover hardware.
The published plans show three configurations. Starter includes the Station Solo POS system with a 14-inch screen and the Restaurant Growth Plan with 24/7 live support. Standard adds the Handheld Flex for tableside orders and payments, plus tableside ordering and firing. Advanced includes those Standard capabilities along with the Station Duo POS system with merchant and customer screens, tableside ordering and firing, and a take-out station with to-go payments. Current U.S. restaurant pricing uses a contact-sales model rather than public package amounts, so buyers should compare plan-specific hardware and software requirements directly with Clover.
Clover for Restaurants has a broad operational scope, with integrations for third-party delivery apps, online ordering platforms, reservation systems, accounting software, and Clover Kitchen Display System. Its kitchen workflow support includes KDS integration, while employee logins, permissions, and shift management address day-to-day staff control. Android and web are the listed platforms, and available features and hardware can vary by plan and configuration. Choose it when Clover hardware, tableside service, kitchen workflows, and multiple order channels matter together; consider an alternative if broad platform coverage or publicly listed pricing is a priority.
