The short answer for Indian restaurants

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for which credit card machine is best for an indian restaurant: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.

For most Indian restaurants we start with the Clover Station Duo. The Station Duo pairs a 14-inch staff screen with an 8-inch customer-facing screen and a built-in printer, and it accepts contactless tap, chip and swipe.

Indian restaurants handle lunch buffets, dinner service, large takeout and catering, with long menus and many shared platters.

Mistakes Indian restaurants make

Treating catering as a counter order loses the deposit and pickup time that make it reliable.

Closing out at different times each day and then chasing deposits.
Skipping a rehearsal: the first real rush should not be the first use.
Training only one person, then losing them on a weekend.

Common questions

Can I charge buffet pricing per person?

Yes. A per-person item with a quantity covers buffet pricing.

Can I take deposits for catering?

Deposits can be recorded as partial payments and applied to the final invoice.

Can servers close checks at the table?

Yes. A handheld Flex lets servers take payment at the table, split by seat and capture tips, which shortens table time.
