Before install day

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

Confirm where the Station Duo will sit and where power and the connection come from.
Write down your top ten sellers and the modifiers each one needs, in the words your staff use.
Gather a recent processing statement for the free rate review.
Tell your team the date so nobody learns the system on a live service.
List every printer, drawer and scanner the setup needs.

On install day

A Station Duo with a scale-ready workflow at the deli counter and a second terminal for the grab-and-go cooler; a printer tags each custom order with a ticket number.

We note anything about the space that needs a bracket, a cable or a power strip.
Staff run a practice transaction for every payment type you take.

Your first service

A deli sells by weight and by the sandwich, with a counter that never has the same order twice. Deli sections have slower, customized service and a grab-and-go side with a fast line.

Close out at your usual time and compare the report to the drawer.
Keep a second person next to the register for the first hour.
Ask the first ten customers if anything about checkout confused them.

The first week

Skipping SKU-level setup for prepared goods makes inventory impossible, and the deli quietly loses track of what sells.

Review the item report and trim buttons nobody uses.
Look at tips by employee and confirm the payout matches.
Check deposits against your batch reports.

Why work with us

What you get from Merchant Fund Express is a team, not a box: installation at your location, practical training and phone support, plus funding options from the same company if your plans grow.

Common questions

Can I sell items by weight?

Yes. Items can be priced by weight so staff enter the quantity at the counter and the total is computed for them.

How do I handle platter orders?

Platters can be sold as items with a note for pickup time, and a deposit can be recorded as a partial payment.

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.

What if I am already under a processing contract?

Tell us the term and the equipment arrangement. We will explain what switching would involve and tell you honestly if waiting makes more sense.
