Online ordering for a bagel shop

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

For a bagel shop, online ordering means customers choose from your menu on their own time and the order lands where your team already works.

For a bagel shop, the detail that matters is this: bagels are sold singly and by the dozen, with spreads, toppings and sandwich builds on top. A dozen button that applies the baker's-dozen rule and a modifier group for spreads keeps the counter fast.

How it flows on a normal day

Your best-selling items and modifiers go online first.

Orders arrive as tickets

Each order carries a pickup time and a name.

The line works one queue

Online and counter tickets stay in sequence.

Handoff is confirmed

Why it is worth setting up properly

Online orders are the easiest sales to lose to a busy counter: the phone buzzes, the line is long and nobody has time. Putting them in the same queue as in-store orders means they get made in order, and the customer who ordered ahead is not punished by the customer who walked in.

A bagel shop that ignores online ordering hands the easiest repeat sales to whoever is closer to the customer's phone. Taking them in the same queue keeps the line fair.

Offer only items that travel well and ring up quickly.
Review online sales weekly and prune what does not sell.
Test an order from your own phone before you launch.
Set pickup windows you can really hit, then lengthen them during a rush.

What bagel shops should know before setup

One Station Duo at the counter with a built-in printer for tickets, a second Mini or Flex for a second line, and a kitchen printer or display if the build line is separate.

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.

The pitfall to avoid

Letting online orders pile up unseen. Put a screen or a printer where someone looks at it every minute.

Common questions

Do online orders land in the same place as counter orders?

Yes. They arrive in the same ticket queue, so the kitchen works one list.

Can I pause online orders during a rush?

Yes. You can turn online ordering off or limit pickup windows when you are slammed.

Can the system handle baker's-dozen pricing?

Yes. You can build a dozen as its own item or a bundle so staff do not calculate it at the counter, and your counts stay accurate.

What if I am already under a processing contract?

Tell us the term and the equipment arrangement. We will explain what switching would involve and tell you honestly if waiting makes more sense.

What will this cost me?

There is no price list on purpose. Your quote is built from your monthly card sales, your average ticket and the devices you need, so call (305) 384-8391 and we will price your actual setup.
