Before install day

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for launch checklist for a donut shop: 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.
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.
Pick the day and time of install so it does not collide with a delivery or a rush.

On install day

A Station Duo at the counter is the workhorse; a Flex helps for a drive-up window or a line outside on weekends, and a receipt printer keeps pace with morning volume.

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

Donut shops open before dawn, sell hardest in the first few hours and often sell out of favorites by midmorning. The register at 5:30 a.m. matters more than at noon.

Keep the support number on a card by the register.
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.

The first week

Not tracking sell-outs is the usual miss. If you cannot see which flavors disappear first, you bake the wrong mix every morning.

Tell us what your staff keep asking about so we can add training.
Review the item report and trim buttons nobody uses.
Look at tips by employee and confirm the payout matches.

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 mark an item sold out during the morning?

Yes. You can turn items off at the register so staff stop offering them, and your reports show how fast each flavor sells.

Does it work for a drive-up window?

A handheld Flex with its own cellular connection is a common choice for a window, so a car line does not depend on a counter terminal.

What if I am already under a processing contract?

At Merchant Fund Express, tell us the term and the equipment arrangement. We will explain what switching would involve and tell you honestly if waiting makes more sense.

What will this cost me?

There is no price list on purpose. Your quote is built from your monthly card sales, your average ticket and the devices you need, so call (305) 384-8391 and we will price your actual setup.
