How a cheese shop really runs

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for cheese shops: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.

The rush

Cheese shops are busiest before holidays and weekends, when customers want a board for a party and ask for tastes before they decide. The counter can back up while one customer samples five cheeses.

The menu

Most cheese is sold by weight, cut to order, alongside packaged crackers, charcuterie, preserves and gift baskets. Each cheese needs a price per pound that rings correctly from the weight.

The payment mix

Mostly card, with gift-basket orders paid in advance and pickup orders for parties. Holiday tickets can be large. Holiday orders arrive with a pickup date, and customers who prepay expect their basket ready and the receipt to show exactly what is inside.

The people

Cheesemongers cut, wrap and ring, often in the same motion. Individual logins show who handled each sale and keep the cash drawer accountable.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo handles chip and swipe at the cheese counter and prints a receipt; because the Solo takes no contactless tap, add a Mini as a second payment point for tap and wallet customers.

The core device is the Clover Station Duo. We choose it over the Station Solo because the Solo takes chip and swipe only, with no contactless tap.

Station Duo: Cheese counter register with a printer
Mini: Tap and wallet payments at the counter
Flex: Farmers markets and tasting events

Settings worth getting right

Set suggested tip amounts that fit your average ticket instead of the default.
Close out the same time every day so deposits and reports line up.
Decide who can open the drawer and keep that list short.
Give each person their own login and limit refunds and discounts to managers.
Put your five best sellers on the first screen so new hires find them without hunting.

What to avoid

Typing a price by hand for each weighed piece leads to mistakes and hides which cheeses actually sell. Set each cheese up with a price per pound.

Setup and training

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.

Questions to settle first

Why work with us

With Merchant Fund Express you deal with the people who set the system up. We come on site, train your team and stay reachable by phone, and our funding side is there if you later need capital or equipment financing.

Common questions

Can I sell cheese by weight?

Yes. Items can be priced per pound so the total is calculated from the weight, which keeps pricing consistent.

Can customers pre-order gift baskets?

Yes. Orders can be taken and paid in advance with a pickup date, which helps before holidays.

Can I sell by weight and by the piece?

Yes. Items can be priced by weight or unit so the register handles both without a calculator.

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.

How long does it take to get running?

At Merchant Fund Express, 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.
