Tableside ordering for a sushi restaurant

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

Tableside ordering lets servers at a sushi restaurant enter orders and close checks at the table on a handheld.

For a sushi restaurant, the detail that matters is this: sushi chefs and servers work in different rhythms; routing tickets by station keeps each one focused on their part.

Why it is worth setting up properly

A sushi restaurant that adds tableside ordering usually sees the first change in how quickly tables turn, not in the menu.

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.

Practice a full table close-out before the first dinner service.
Keep a register open for guests who prefer to pay there.
Train seat numbers early so splitting is easy later.
Practice a messy table before the dinner rush.

What sushi restaurants should know before setup

Card-heavy, with high tickets for dinner and a lot of delivery and takeout orders at lunch.

Our team ships hardware configured, then comes on site to place it, connect it, build your items and train your staff. We stay on the line through your first service.

The pitfall to avoid

Handing out handhelds without a charging routine. A device that dies mid-service is worse than none.

Common questions

Which device do servers use?

The Flex is the usual choice: a 6-inch handheld with a built-in printer and cellular.

Can guests split the check at the table?

Yes. Splitting by seat or item is supported on the handheld.

Can omakase seatings be sold per person?

Yes. You can sell seatings as an item with a quantity for the number of guests, and add pairings as modifiers.

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.

Can I get a free review of my current processing?

Yes. Send or read us a recent statement and we will walk through what you pay today, with no obligation.
