Before install day

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for launch checklist for a pub: 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.
Decide who gets which login and who can refund or discount.
Photograph your current menu board or price list so items can be built from it.
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.

On install day

A Station Duo behind the bar handles tabs, and a Flex lets servers take orders and payment on the floor. A Kitchen Display 14" keeps food tickets moving.

Hardware is placed, connected and tested before any customer sees it.
Tip prompts, receipts and closing time are set.

Your first service

Pubs fill after work and on weekends, with game nights and quiz nights creating peaks. Many guests open a tab and add rounds throughout the evening.

Ask the first ten customers if anything about checkout confused them.
Write down anything that felt slow so it can be fixed the same day.
Keep the support number on a card by the register.

The first week

Losing track of tabs at last call is the biggest risk. Close tabs in the system rather than on paper. Name each tab with the guest or seat, and a card left behind at closing time is easy to match the next day.

Check deposits against your batch reports.
Decide whether a second device would remove a bottleneck you saw.
Tell us what your staff keep asking about so we can add training.

Why work with us

Merchant Fund Express is the team behind your terminal: we install on site, train your staff and answer the phone after launch. When you want funding or equipment financing, it is available from the same company.

Common questions

Can I keep a card on file for a tab?

Yes. A tab can be opened with a card so rounds are added and the total is charged at close.

Can I schedule happy-hour pricing?

Yes. Prices can be set to change at certain times so staff do not need to adjust them manually.

Can I get a free review of my current processing?

At Merchant Fund Express, yes. Send or read us a recent statement and we will walk through what you pay today, with no obligation.

What happens if something breaks on a busy day?

Call (305) 384-8391. We help you troubleshoot, switch to a backup device or arrange a replacement, and we plan a backup connection when we set you up.
