What Clover says its products do
From 10 posts on Clover's own blog, read 12 Oct 2026. Each sentence is Clover's claim in our words, numbered to the post it comes from. We have not used these systems.
What Clover says about its restaurant kiosk
Clover says its Kiosk pulls the menu from the Clover POS, so items and prices stay the same on both.1 It says orders from the Kiosk show on the Kitchen Display System or print to the kitchen printer, as if placed at the counter.1 It says staff can turn categories, items and even modifiers off and on from a web tool.1 The company says the Kiosk includes a commercial display, a payment terminal and a built-in printer for standard receipt paper.1 Clover says its kiosk POS suggests extra items or larger sizes based on what a customer picks.7 Clover says sales from the counter, online and the Kiosk are all recorded in the same system.2
Clover's handheld devices
Clover says its Flex Pocket is a lighter, more portable handheld POS that weighs a little over 12 oz.3 It says the Flex Pocket has built-in LTE, so staff can serve customers wherever they are.3 It says servers can send an order straight from the table, read barcodes and QR codes, jot order notes and email or text receipts.3 The company says the Flex Pocket has a battery that lasts all day.3
What Clover says about taking payments
Clover says its POS systems accept a range of payment methods, from traditional cards to mobile payments.7 Clover says its Cash Discount tool needs no registration and runs from the existing POS.5 Clover says its Rapid Deposit sends funds from sales to the bank account in minutes, at any hour of the day.10 It says Rapid Deposit can be used from a Clover device or the web dashboard.10
Clover's Compact terminal and Tap to Pay on iPhone
Clover says its Compact is a simple card terminal that can work alone or inside a larger payment system.4 It says Compact connects over WiFi, LAN or LTE, so a business can keep trading through internet or power outages.4 It says Compact lets owners manage employee access and set a threshold for refunds and voided transactions.4
What Clover says about online ordering
Clover says online orders are passed to the kitchen automatically, and the Kitchen Display System ranks them by priority and preparation time.8 Clover says kitchen staff get a digital view of every incoming order, with its status and preparation time.8 It says Clover Online Ordering lets a restaurant manage online orders directly in its POS.9
What Clover says about its POS software
Clover says its POS handles real-time reporting, so quick service owners can analyse sales data as it happens.7 It says its employee tools track time and productivity and build shift schedules from live sales data.7 It says that with its Kitchen Display System integration, orders from kiosks or other POS devices go to the kitchen at once.7

Moving to Clover from another POS
Clover says data can be moved in formats such as CSV or Excel when a business switches over.6 It says it provides extra tools and customer support to help with that migration.6 Clover says its hardware range covers complete POS systems, virtual terminals, handheld devices and accessories.6
Clover for restaurants with several locations
Clover says its reporting and sales feature can compile data across several locations.9 It says its POS can keep track of inventory across restaurants with multiple locations.9 It says the Clover App Market offers dozens of apps that can automate tasks such as scheduling, inventory and reservations.9 It says its Kitchen Display System shows orders as they arrive and helps staff handle a dinner rush.9 Clover says Clover Dining can manage a floor plan, assign tables to servers and split checks.9 It says MarginEdge Lite, used with Clover, processes invoices with line item detail from a photo.9
