What is the best Clover POS setup for a cidery?

Short answer: For most cideries, the core of a Clover setup is the Clover Station Duo (tasting bar with open tabs and tip screen). A Station Duo at the tasting bar holds open tabs and shows the guest each pour and the tip screen. Merchant Fund Express installs it on site, trains your staff and quotes processing to your business.

Key facts

  • Core device: Clover Station Duo
  • Flex: patio, orchard and festival service
  • Mini: separate bottle-shop counter
  • Installed on site with staff training; no published price list

How a cidery really runs

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

The rush

Cideries fill up on weekend afternoons and during harvest festivals, when groups arrive for flights, stay for a pint and leave with bottles. A single tour bus or bachelorette party can double the room in minutes.

The menu

The menu mixes tasting flights, pours by the glass, bottles and four-packs to go, plus merchandise and sometimes food. Seasonal releases come and go, so items need to be switched on and off without rebuilding the menu.

The payment mix

Most guests tap or insert a card, many open a tab for the afternoon, and to-go bottles are often added to the same check. Checking ID for every alcohol sale is the cidery's responsibility, so staff should confirm age before pouring.

The people

Tasting-room staff pour, explain the ciders and ring sales in the same moment, with extra hands on festival weekends. Individual logins show who sold what and keep tip-outs accurate.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo at the tasting bar holds open tabs and shows the guest each pour and the tip screen. A Flex covers the patio or orchard events, and a Mini handles a separate bottle-shop counter.

What to avoid

Lumping flights, pints and bottles together as one "tasting room" sale hides which ciders actually move. Ring them as separate items so you brew more of what sells.

Common questions

Can guests start a tab and add bottles to go?

Yes. A tab can stay open through the tasting, and to-go bottles or four-packs are added to the same check before it closes.

Can I turn seasonal ciders on and off?

Yes. Seasonal items can be hidden when they sell out and brought back next season without rebuilding the menu.

Who installs and trains my staff?

The Merchant Fund Express team installs on site, configures your items and trains your staff, then stays available by phone after launch.

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?

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.
