Clover POS
Sunnyvale, California, United States
What it is
Clover POS combines cloud-based point-of-sale software and hardware for food trucks, with tools for payments, orders, inventory, and business management. Merchants can track sales and ingredients in real time to support preparation and planning. Its Offline Mode allows payments to continue when Wi-Fi or cell service drops; transactions are processed after reconnection. Clover processes cash, credit, debit, and smartphone payments. Quick-service plans include online ordering, an online menu page, and pickup and delivery order types. Plans are called Starter, Standard, and Advanced, with hardware bundles that include POS systems and, depending on the plan, a cash drawer, receipt printer, or handheld POS. Starter does not include customer features such as a customer database, promotions, loyalty, private feedback, or Clover gift cards; Standard and Advanced include them. Clover lists integrations including QuickBooks, Shopify, Woo, Magento, Yelp, and payroll tools. Pricing is on request, subscription fees vary by business type, and processing fees are separate. A 90-day trial without SaaS subscription fees is advertised for eligible merchants in selected business types, subject to offer terms.
