  1. When we are beginning to run low on a product, it would be nice to turn off the item online only. A recent update took away the toggle that could disable the item online and now we can only mark it as out of stock across all menus. We'd like to turn off online first since we cannot clearly communicate low stock to online customers.

  2. We need a button in the Register app that says NO SALE that a bartender can quickly hit to open cash drawer. I have a merchant that has 7 pool tables 10 dart board machines and is constantly making change -- the way it is now is not ideal with having to enter a reason to open the drawer. The 3-4 clicks is too many for a fast pace bar that has 5 Station Solos.

    Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We are planning some updates to cash drawer workflow and will take your feedback into consideration. Bars are high pressure environments and understand the need to be able to do key actions faster. Thanks again!



  3. Currently, the Epson printer connection with the Clover POS does not allow us to limit printing to only to-go orders or online/mobile orders. As a result, labels are being printed unnecessarily, which leads to wasted supplies.

    We would love to explore adding this functionality to the integration, as it would help streamline operations and eliminate the need for additional labels going to waste.

    Please let us know if this is something that can be supported now or considered for future enhancements.

  4. Currently, the colors are assigned automatically and aren't helpful. For example, a Hot drink option button would be HOT and we would choose blue buttons for Cold drinks.

    Also, we NEED two order tickets automatically printed. we have to waste too much time pressing more options and pressing print order.

  5. Specifically targeting bars; late-night, a larger proportion of the bar staff-s time is dominated by having to close tabs, and in a crowded bar, a large amount of space at the bar is also dominated by customers waiting to close their tabs.

    Idea: QR code link to portal (Bar can post QR codes around establishment, by open-space areas, by exits, even in parking lots), customer can enter in last 4 digits of the CC they opened the tab on, and can then close out their tab via self-service, adding tip and signing, instead of having to interact with bar staff.…

  6. Full service restaurants have the following critical issue:

    Server A accidentally closes out an order to the incorrect payment method, Manager A then refunds/voids the payment, then Server A adds the correct payment method.

    In reports, it shows that Server A has taken 2 payments and that Manager A has performed 1 refund. This corrupts both the server and manager's sales reports and tip payouts.

    Solution:
    Please add the ability to have employees without refund permissions to still refund orders with a manager code in the same way employees can add discounts to an order with a manager code and…

  7. During Extremely busy periods, line cooks and expediterts have a tendency to not pay attention to order type. Sometimes "To-Go" orders get plated and have to be replated in to-go containers.

    If order types could be color coded on the KDS displays, it would help distinguish between order types and minimize plating errors.

  8. The Item Sales report used to have functionality to print CATEGOERIES or CATEGORIES WITH ITEMS. This functionality was available when the user clicked the PRINT link and presented with a dialog box and several options including the Categories or with or without Items.

    This option was removed this week from the Report and we would like it restored. Our ownership was accustomed to this report and the workarounds are just a lot of extra work. (Manually open/expand each category prior to printing or the export to CSV are the two suggestions we discovered before Clover confirmed that these are the…

  9. For a restaurant inside a hotel the merchant setup a custom tender to charge meals to the hotel room. However, they cannot add a tip to this tender. It would be really great to be able to allow tipping on custom tenders.

  11. We need to be able to add Breakfast Menu Times to our Cafe hours.  Hope House Cafe.
    We use online ordering and Doordash options, but are not able to enter hours and have this option available for online ordering.

    We are currently having to manually enter and remove them daily for Breakfast Menu ITems.

  12. Instead of only having the option to look at reporting as sub categories, we would like to be able to see the Head categories on the reports and have submenus for subcategories. When i called into clover for reporting issues this was not an option for them to assist with.

  13. I would like to suggest an improvement to how Sub Categories are handled in reporting.

    Right now, it appears that Sub Categories are being reported as if they are completely separate Categories, rather than being grouped under their parent Category. This makes reporting more fragmented and less useful for businesses trying to track department-level sales.

    For example:

    Category: Bakery
    Sub Categories:

    Bread
    Pastries
    Cakes

    Currently, reports treat Bread, Pastries, and Cakes almost like separate Categories instead of rolling them up under Bakery. I believe Sub Categories should function more like organizational breakdowns within a Category, similar to how Modifiers report…

  14. Dayparts is currently applicable to "In Store (POS devices)" only. Make Dapyparts applicable to Online Ordering and 3rd Party Ordering (Doordash, GH, UE etc).

    This will enable to have menus available at specific day/time for online ordering too, in line with the In Store (POS devices) that's available currently.

  17. I have customers that orders months ahead because during Chinese New Years I have an insane promotion that because my restaurant is packed with online orders, people always order ahead. In other systems I can set it to allow orders to be ordered months ahead, I wish Clover has this same functionality

  19. With larger parties where an auto added , say 20% tip is added to the bill... Needs to be an option to add that under "TIPS" .

    Currently, the ONLY way to add an auto tip % to large parties bill is by adding it to taxes and fees ...
    BUT it is NOT a "tax" NOR a "fee"

    AND - Doing it as Clover only allows via taxes and fees...

    Means the large table tip auto added "DOES NOT" show up under Employees "TIPS" in "TIP REPORTS" at the end of the day - Makes for missing entering tips…

  20. Ability to choose the appropriate tax for the item at the moment of the transaction ,not by default. Right now we only can program taxes by defaults /items level but if the merchant only use a clover device for payment processing and have different tax rates like in Puerto Rico (City Tax, State Tax, Reduce tax - for certain items) at the moment of transaction they can not choose the tax
