Merchant Fund Express configures this Clover capability with your devices, menu and team, so it is working from the first shift.
For a Mexican restaurant, tableside ordering moves the register to the guest so orders fire sooner and checks close faster.
For a Mexican restaurant, the detail that matters is this: hosts, servers, bartenders and a line that may speak Spanish first. Item names can be set up the way your kitchen says them.
Items and modifiers are entered at the table.
The ticket fires to the right station immediately.
Rounds and desserts are added without a trip to the register.
The guest pays and tips on the handheld.
The walk to the register is the slowest part of table service. A server who can enter a round, fire it and close the check on the spot spends more time on the floor and the table turns sooner.
In a Mexican restaurant, the walk to the register is dead time for the server and for the table. A handheld gives that time back to the floor.
Cards at the table, splits for family groups, tips on every check and catering orders paid ahead. Bilingual staff and customers are common.
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.
Giving handhelds out with no charging habit. Make plugging them in part of closing.
It matters more in a Mexican restaurant because lunch combos move fast, and Friday nights and weekends pack the dining room with big family tables and margarita orders. Takeout and catering trays add a second rush through the phone.
As explained by Merchant Fund Express. Updated 2026.
Servers carry a Flex to the table, enter orders with modifiers such as spice level, protein and sides, and send them straight to the kitchen. Margarita and drink orders go to the bar at the same moment, so a family table's food and drinks arrive together instead of in waves.
At the end of the meal, the same device splits the bill by seat or by item, takes payment and prompts for a tip at the table, so cards never leave the guest's sight. Busy Friday nights move faster because nobody waits at a terminal by the kitchen door.
Large family groups benefit most: the server can take the whole table's order in one pass, mark which plates are for sharing and send appetizers first, then mains when the table is ready.

The Flex is the usual choice: a 6-inch handheld with a built-in printer and cellular.
Yes. Splitting by seat or item is supported on the handheld.
Yes. Catering can be rung as a future order with a pickup time and paid up front, so it does not get lost in the Friday rush.
