Online ordering for a sandwich shop

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

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

For a sandwich shop, the detail that matters is this: build-your-own sandwiches multiply choices (bread, protein, cheese, toppings, sauces). Modifier groups with required and optional choices keep tickets complete and printable in build order.

Your best-selling items and modifiers go online first.

Orders arrive as tickets

Each order carries a pickup time and a name.

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 sandwich 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.

Mark items unavailable the moment they sell out.
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.

What sandwich shops should know before setup

A Station Duo at the counter, a Kitchen Display 14" or a ticket printer at the build line and a second terminal for a pickup shelf during heavy catering days.

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

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 I build modifier groups with required choices?

Yes. You can require a bread and protein choice before the order can be sent, which prevents incomplete tickets at the line.

How long does it take to get running?

Once your account is approved the hardware is configured and scheduled for on-site installation. We give you a real date when you call, and we stay with you through the first service.

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.
