What is the best Clover POS setup for an escape room?

Short answer: For most escape rooms, the core of a Clover setup is the Clover Station Duo (check-in counter). A Station Duo at check-in handles add-ons and walk-ins, with a Flex for the lobby when several groups arrive at once. Merchant Fund Express installs it on site, trains your staff and quotes processing to your business. Call (305) 384-8391 for a free rate review.

How an escape room really runs

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

The rush

Escape rooms run on booked time slots, with evenings and weekends selling out first. Groups arrive together, play for an hour and often book again.

The menu

Room bookings by group size, add-ons like photos or merch, and gift cards. Bookings are usually prepaid online. Private room buyouts, corporate team events and add-on hints or photo packages each need clear items so the team can see what groups actually buy.

The payment mix

Prepaid online bookings, balances or add-ons at check-in, and gift cards. Walk-in groups pay at the counter, and groups that arrive one player short sometimes ask to adjust the price, which should be a manager decision.

The people

Game masters run rooms and check in guests. Fast check-in matters because the next group is already waiting. Game masters reset rooms between bookings, so check-in has to take a minute, not five.

The hardware layout

A Station Duo at check-in handles add-ons and walk-ins, with a Flex for the lobby when several groups arrive at once. Ask us how your booking system works with payments.

Settings worth getting right

Turn on receipt options that match what customers ask for: paper, text or email.
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.

What to avoid

Mixing online and in-person payments without a clear record causes double charges. Record everything against the booking. Track gift card balances in the system too; paper certificates are easy to copy and hard to reconcile.

Setup and training

Installation is on site: hardware set up and tested, your items and modifiers programmed, printers and drawers connected and your staff walked through a practice rush.

Common questions

Can we sell gift cards?

Yes. Gift cards can be sold at the counter and used for bookings.

Do you replace our booking system?

At Merchant Fund Express, not necessarily. We review your booking software and explain how payments should flow before you change anything.

Who installs and trains my staff?

Our team installs on site, configures your items and trains your staff, then stays available by phone after launch.

Should I send a statement before I call?

It helps but is not required. A recent processing statement lets us compare your effective rate to what a Clover setup would look like for your sales mix.

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.
