If you’re a restaurant owner looking to upgrade or switch your point-of-sale (POS) system, you’ve probably heard of Clover. With so many POS options available today, it can be hard to know which system truly delivers value, flexibility, and long-term support—without draining your budget or locking you into rigid contracts.

In 2025, Clover has emerged as one of the most reliable, versatile, and affordable POS systems for restaurants of all sizes. Whether you’re running a quick-service cafe or a full-service multi-location concept, Clover offers everything you need to grow—without unnecessary complexity or inflated costs.

Let’s explore why Clover is quickly becoming the preferred POS solution for restaurant operators across the country.

Designed for Flexibility: One POS, Endless Possibilities

Clover isn’t just a payment processor. It’s a full-service, cloud-based POS platform that grows with your business. From taking orders at the table to managing online orders and delivery partners, Clover gives you the freedom to run your restaurant your way.

You can choose from a variety of hardware setups:

  • Clover Go for mobile transactions
  • Clover Flex for handheld ordering and payments
  • Clover Mini for compact counter space
  • Clover Station for complete front-of-house management
  • Kitchen Display Systems (KDS) to streamline communication between the front and back of house
  • Self-service kiosks to reduce labor and speed up ordering

This modular approach means you can start with what you need now—and expand as your business grows.

Built-in Features That Save You Time and Money

Many POS systems advertise low entry costs but require expensive add-ons for core functionality like online ordering or loyalty programs. Not Clover.

Clover’s restaurant packages include essential tools from day one:

  • Integrated online ordering
  • Built-in loyalty and gift card programs
  • Third-party delivery integration
  • Inventory tracking
  • Employee management
  • Advanced reporting dashboards

You don’t have to keep stacking up third-party apps or negotiating with multiple vendors just to run your business efficiently.

Transparent Pricing with No Surprise Fees

Clover is known for simple, transparent pricing. That means no unexpected bills, no hidden integration fees, and no fine print that catches you off guard after you’ve signed a contract.

At First National Processing, we help restaurant owners understand exactly what they’re getting—from hardware costs to monthly fees. Whether you choose to purchase your Clover hardware upfront or lease it affordably, we make it easy to budget and scale.

Instant Access to Funds with Rapid Deposit

In the restaurant industry, cash flow is everything. Waiting two or three days for credit card payments to settle can create major challenges—especially when you need to pay staff, restock inventory, or handle emergency repairs.

Clover offers Rapid Deposit, giving you access to your funds almost instantly after a sale. No more waiting. No more borrowing. Just reliable access to your money when you need it.

Local Support That Actually Supports You

Many POS systems offer phone-based support—or worse, make you rely on bots or outsourced customer service teams. Clover, through First National Processing, provides personalized, local support when and where you need it.

From setup to training and ongoing optimization, our team is there to help. You get:

  • Dedicated onboarding support
  • On-site installation assistance (if needed)
  • Hands-on staff training
  • Real-time help via phone or email
  • A long-term partner committed to your growth

You’re not just buying software—you’re gaining a team that has your back.

Seamless Integrations That Keep You Connected

Clover’s App Market features over 400+ integrations that help restaurants streamline operations even further:

  • Gusto for payroll
  • Homebase for scheduling
  • QuickBooks for accounting
  • MarketMan for inventory management
  • BentoBox for website and online ordering
  • And many more

Best of all, unlike other platforms, Clover doesn’t charge extra just to access these integrations. You only pay for the apps you use—keeping your overhead low.

Proven Track Record and Industry Trust

Backed by Fiserv, one of the world’s most trusted financial technology companies, Clover supports over 650,000 merchants—with thousands of restaurants joining every month. That makes Clover one of the fastest-growing restaurant POS systems in North America.

It’s not just the numbers that matter—it’s the reliability, infrastructure, and continued innovation that comes from being part of a global fintech leader.

Month-to-Month Flexibility—No Long-Term Contracts Required

With Clover, you’re not locked into multi-year contracts with early termination penalties. First National Processing offers month-to-month plans, giving you the flexibility to adjust your POS as your business changes.

Need to pause? Expand? Upgrade your hardware? You can do all of that without being locked in or penalized.

Perfect for All Restaurant Types

Whether you’re a food truck owner, a quick-service operator, or managing multiple full-service locations, Clover fits seamlessly:

  • Quick-service restaurants love the speed and simplicity of Clover Mini and Flex.
  • Full-service restaurants appreciate the customizable table layouts and check-splitting options.
  • Bars and cafes benefit from fast checkout, integrated tipping, and loyalty rewards.
  • Multi-location brands enjoy unified reporting, remote management, and centralized inventory.
