Card machine guide · Restaurants
For seafood restaurants the Clover Station Duo is the usual starting point: market-price items and daily specials. Below: what the setup looks like, who it suits and where owners go wrong.
✓ Installed by our team and supported by phone. Rates and equipment are quoted to your business.
At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for which credit card machine is best for a seafood restaurant: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
For most seafood 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.
Seafood restaurants change menus with the catch, with daily specials, market-price items and a dinner crowd that expects polished service.
Market-price items are entered at the day's price, with daily specials added and removed quickly. Raw bar items need separate routing.
High cards and tips, with large dinner checks and split tabs.
Servers, bartenders and a raw bar with different rhythms and tips.
A Station Duo at the host stand, Flex handhelds for tableside close-out and a Kitchen Display with raw-bar routing.
Installation is on site: hardware set up and tested, your items and modifiers programmed, printers and drawers connected and your staff walked through a practice rush.
| Role | Device | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Station Duo | Host stand |
| Add-on | Flex | Tableside |
| Add-on | Kitchen Display 24" | Line and raw bar |
