  1. Items like services do not need to be counted as inventory, only the sales need to be tracked. It would be really handy to be able to mark items as Non-Inventory (all the same functions for price, cost, etc as usual) and still have them as a sellable item. Services are not inventory!

  2. It would be good to not allow duplicate items to be keyed into the hardware.
    I spend a lot of time editing existing clover inventory/menu export lists.
    Clover allows merchants to key in duplicate items form the hardware but you cannot import this inventory list into another location because you will get an error.

  3. Managers and up should be allowed to change the customer after an order is placed without having to refund the order. Sometimes orders are processed under the wrong name, we shouldn't have to perform a refund and then process the order again to change the customer.

  4. I do like that now it is possible to color code a category -- and thru the dashboard, choose to have that color to apply to all items in that category. HOWEVER -- if you add a new item to a category, it does NOT automatically become that color! You have to go back, every single time, and then click a bunch of stuff to make each new item your color. Point is -- if I want all beers in my 16oz. Pint category to be orange -- then let my choice persist! If I add a new beer to…

  5. When an order is placed that is transferred to a different server the order gets fired a second time which causes confusion in the kitchen during busy periods.

  8. Please allow inventory counts for all items including the DoorDash Drive orders that appear in my orders app. My inventory is currently not affected by any DoorDash orders and it could easily be a big problem. Right now the only way to prevent selling a sold out item is to make the item unavailable for both clover online orders and DoorDash orders, which is unsatisfactory.

  9. We need the ability to add a revenue class to a new inventory item directly from device. I've seen this requested as far back as 2021 but it is still not an option. Revenue classes are vital to inventory management and reporting and so it makes no sense that they can only be added through the dashboard. This is very cumbersome and unnecessary. It would be so easy to add "revenue class" as an input option on the "add item" screen on the device and it would save a huge amount of frustration and time on the user end.

  13. Merchant would like to filter orders by tax rate. That way it is easier to determine which transactions and orders have which tax applied to them to ensure rules by order type is working.

  14. With online ordering, we can printing items to kitchen using the alternate name but cannot do so with modifiers? That is a big issue for us because our alternate name is in Vietnamese and our kitchen staff cannot read English. I'm not sure why that was not developed when developing the online order since it prints fine when we enter the orders with items and modifiers with the devices.

  16. This option will allow multiple units of the same modifier option to be selected when ordering. Uber Eats already has this option.
    E.g. our family pack comes with 8 drinks and 3 appetizers. at the moment the customer can choose the options they want but not the quantity. for example the can choose Diet Coke and Fanta which will result in us sending them 4 of each, If the want 2 Diet Cokes and 6 Fanta, they will have to write a note which is inconvenient.

  17. Please add "brand" column or feature. Right now our retail business uses "printer label" as brand because we do not need to print orders to a kitchen and we need something to account for the many brands that we sell. For whatever reason, when adding a new product, the "pinter label" options are not alphabetical. This is very annoying because we have almost 100 brands that we have to scroll through to find the right one.

  18. Parent Items with Variants should show as single items (and not list all variants).

    Parent Items with Variants should be allowed to be assigned to sales categories and reordered like other items within that category. Presently parent items with variants only show in 'all items'.

    Order UI / Flow - When a parent item with variants is touched, the options within each variant should show (just like multiple modifier groups would), allowing the clerk to choose a single option within each variant group that results in adding the correct sales item to the order (receipt pane).

    I recall that this…

  19. Restaurants need stock counts to have an option to decrease inventory when item is fired, not when item is paid. There should be a check box under the stock quantity section that will allow stock counts to automatically decrease when items are fired.

  20. The inventory we have for sale are sometimes used for jobs as well, I need to be able to deduct inventory at cost so that profit will not be reported.
    Either I need an item specific discount or a modifier that can be negative.

    Also, what's up with no low quantity alert and no inventory report? We need low quantity alert to see when we need to order new inventory. And we need inventory reports to evaluate how each item in the inventory is selling.
