Kitchen display system for a burger joint

Merchant Fund Express configures this Clover capability with your devices, menu and team, so it is working from the first shift.

For a burger joint, a kitchen display turns a stack of tickets into one screen the whole line can read.

For a burger joint, the detail that matters is this: burger joints run on combos, with a steady lunch and dinner and a drive-thru or pickup line that the counter feeds.

How it flows on a normal day

A burger joint rings an order

The ticket appears on the board the moment it is sent.

Items go to stations

Each item routes to the person who makes it.

The board shows lateness

Colors change as a ticket ages.

Cooks bump finished tickets

The board clears and the next order comes up.

Why it is worth setting up properly

Paper tickets get wet, smudged, lost and read out of order. A board shows every open ticket in sequence, flags the ones running late and lets the line see the whole picture without a shout across the kitchen.

Paper tickets are fine until the line is two deep. In a burger joint a board shows order, age and station at a glance, which cuts shouting and remakes.

Train the bump habit on day one.
Set the color timers to your real standard, not a default.
Set timer colors to your real ticket-time standard.
Mount the display where every station can see it without turning.

What burger joints should know before setup

Configuring combos as three separate items instead of one bundle makes reports unreadable and upsells harder.

We configure your account and hardware before anything ships, then come to you to install, load your items, connect the extras and walk your staff through the first rush, with a phone number for anything that comes up afterward.

The pitfall to avoid

Installing the board where steam or glare make it unreadable. Check the sightline first.

It matters more in a burger joint because burger joints run on combos, with a steady lunch and dinner and a drive-thru or pickup line that the counter feeds.

Common questions

Can I keep a printer as backup?

Yes. Many kitchens keep one for runner tickets or as a fallback.

Can different stations see different items?

Yes. Item-level routing sends each item to its station.

Can I route fries to a different station?

Item routing lets you send each item to the station that makes it.

Should I send a statement before I call?

It helps but is not required. A recent processing statement lets us compare your effective rate to what a Clover setup would look like for your sales mix.

Do you publish prices for this setup?

No. Equipment and processing are quoted to your business, because the right number depends on your volume, card mix and how many stations you need. Call (305) 384-8391 for a personal quote.
