Payment processing and POS for restaurants, bars and cafés

Clover devices for the counter and the table, processing priced from your real statement, and a local team you can call.

The short version

A restaurant, bar or café needs payments that work at the counter, at the table and for online and delivery orders. TM Services Inc. sets up Clover devices and CardConnect processing for restaurants across the country: Clover Station Duo at the counter, Clover Flex for tableside payments and tips, and processing that handles online ordering and delivery.

Devices that fit a restaurant

  • Clover Station Duo. A countertop station with a second, customer-facing screen for tips, signatures and tap-to-pay, plus a receipt printer and cash drawer. A good fit for busy restaurants.
  • Clover Flex. A handheld device with a built-in printer, on Wi-Fi or cellular. Servers can take payment and tips at the table or in line, and the battery is built for a full shift.
  • Clover Mini. A compact countertop device that suits cafés and tight counters.

We configure your menu items, taxes, tips and employees, and show you how to keep employee passcodes private. The Clover Dashboard shows sales, hourly revenue and top-selling items from any computer. If you want to offset card fees, we can also set up a surcharge or cash discount program.

Questions

Restaurant payment questions

What is the best POS for a small restaurant or café?

It depends on your layout. A countertop Clover Station Duo suits a busy counter, a Clover Mini fits a café or tight counter, and a handheld Clover Flex adds tableside payments. We recommend devices based on how you serve.

How do restaurants take payment and tips at the table?

With a handheld Clover Flex. It has a built-in printer, accepts chip and contactless payments including Apple Pay and Google Pay, and runs on Wi-Fi or cellular.

Can a restaurant process online ordering and delivery payments?

Yes. We set up processing that handles online ordering and delivery alongside in-person payments.

Can a restaurant add a surcharge or offer a cash discount?

Yes. TM Services Inc. sets up both. Surcharge signage must be displayed at the point of sale, and debit cards do not get a surcharge. A cash discount program posts one price and discounts cash payments. See our surcharging page for the rules.

Do Clover receipt printers need ink?

No. Clover Station, Mini and Flex printers use thermal paper, so there is no ink to replace.

How much does the equipment cost?

Equipment, leasing and install timing are quoted per business, not published, because they depend on how many devices you need and how you take payments. We go over it with you in a short meeting, along with a free review of your current statement.
