Before install day

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for launch checklist for a diner: 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 at the host stand and register, a Flex for tableside, and a printer at the grill and at the pantry so cooks see only their tickets.

Printers and drawers are fired off to confirm they work together.
Items, prices and modifiers are built with you in the room.

Your first service

A diner has long hours, a mix of counter seats, booths and to-go, and a menu that runs from eggs to dinner platters all day. The pace never fully stops.

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

Leaving all-day menus available at all hours leads to breakfast items rung after the grill is set for dinner.

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

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 make breakfast items available only in the morning?

Yes. Items and categories can be scheduled so they appear only during the hours you set.

Can counter and table checks be handled differently?

Yes. You can keep counter orders and table checks separate, with different tip prompts.

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.

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.
