Launch checklist · Bars & breweries
Everything to do before, during and after your Clover goes live, in the order a sports bar needs it.
✓ Installed by our team and supported by phone. Rates and equipment are quoted to your business.
Short answer: A sports bar can be taking cards after a single installation visit: list your top sellers and logins, have the Clover Station Duo placed, programmed and tested on site, and run a practice sale with every staff member. Then review item, tip and deposit reports after the first week, and call (305) 384-8391 with any questions.

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for launch checklist for a sports bar: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.
A Station Duo at the bar manages tabs, a Flex lets servers ring orders at tables and a Kitchen Display 24" handles big food rushes.
Game nights create intense peaks: a crowd before kickoff, a second wave at halftime and a rush to close tabs at the final whistle. Quiet weeknights are the opposite.
Waiting until the end of the game to close tabs creates a bottleneck. Encourage servers to settle tables as groups leave. Settle tables at halftime and during the fourth quarter, and the rush at the final whistle becomes manageable.
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.
