  1. Menu Items or custom items should print the price to the kitchen printer. I almost got in a fight with the Chef because he asked me how much I was charging for a custom item and I told him 8.99 and he asked me to see my handheld. I told him I don't have time for this and we kept arguing and it was embarrassing for the customers watching everything.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your honesty, and we understand how uncomfortable that situation must have been for you in front of your customers.


    We’d like to clarify that showing prices on kitchen tickets is generally not considered best practice. Kitchen staff should only focus on what needs to be prepared and when, without being concerned about pricing. This helps avoid confusion and keeps the workflow smooth.


    Regarding custom items, if the chef needs price details to decide on preparation or cost optimisation, we recommend creating a dedicated item in your inventory instead of using a generic custom item. This way, the price and recipe are clearly defined upfront, and there’s no need for back-and-forth during service.


    Our goal is to make your operations as seamless as possible, and your feedback helps us improve. If you’d like, we can guide…

  2. Display server names is essential for Expo mode on KDS. If there is a question with a ticket, the expo person needs to know what server to go to.

    KDS needs a summary of all orders with counts. If there are 5 tickets on the display, there needs to be a summary bar like freshKDS that shows for example 5 burgers 4 soups 1 sub etc. the total number or all items that are fired in a summary.

    Needs font and color sizes

    Table numbers could be bigger and Dine in or take out could be smaller

    Our new platform for Ecommerce Websites supports these features, and is generally available to Retail and Service merchants, and is gradually being rolled out to Restaurant merchants.

    To support the upcoming Guest Count Report planned for release in 2025, we’ve updated the default settings to require guest count entry for every order. This change ensures consistent and accurate data collection across all dining experiences.

    If merchants prefer to revert to the previous settings, they can do so by navigating to:

    Dining App → Hamburger Menu (top left) → Settings → Define Guest Count



  5. Clover just altered the cash checkout process. It now asks if a customer wants a receipt BEFORE telling the employee what change was due. Please fix it!

  6. I have had several merchants reach out to me, their ISO, because their teams cannot see the Change Due until the customer chooses a receipt type. They are left starting at a screen that says:

    "Customer is selecting receipt type...No Receipt or Print"

    If they make the receipt selection for the customer so that they can get to the Change Due screen, the customer doesn't have the option to email it to themselves.

    Could we please show the Change Due on the merchant facing side while the customer selects a receipt type.

    It is especially confusing for team members when…

    Thanks for sharing this idea!

    To support kitchen staff who prefer working in Spanish, we encourage you to use the Item Alternate Name feature in Inventory. This allows you to add item names in Spanish, which will appear on both the Kitchen Display System (KDS) and printed receipts in the BOH.

    As a helpful reminder:

    "Use alternate inventory names – Prints the alternate name on the label. If the employees preparing the order speak another language, consider using alternate names."

    This small change can make a big difference in improving clarity and efficiency in the kitchen.

    Let us know if you need help setting this up!

  8. There is an issue when we have items with different prices based on size for example. On kiosk the costumer sees the items with 0 price then he has to choose the size.
    It looks ugly when items are shown with $0.00 prices. If there is a way to post the base price of the item and can be changed when choosing the size.. That will be great.

  9. Currently, when an order contains items labelled for different Kitchen Printers, the entire prints on all printers. Can the merchant be able to print only the applicable items of a given order to each printer?

    Hi All,


    We noticed that the issue you’re experiencing is likely due to item labels not being set up correctly. The good news is that Clover already has a solution for this which other's are using already.


    To make sure your items automatically print on the right printer, please follow these steps:

    Set up printer labels for your items

    Create a Printer Label → https://www.clover.com/en-GB/help/create-a-printer-label


    Configure items to send to the correct order printer

    Automatically Send Items to Order Printers → https://www.clover.com/en-GB/help/automatically-send-items-to-order-printers



    Once these steps are completed, your items will print on the correct printer without any issues.

    If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out, we’re here to help!


    Thank you,

    Clover Product Team

  11. We have identified a significant issue with our Clover POS system that is causing considerable confusion among our staff. Specifically, there is currently no functionality to mark online orders as Ready for Pickup or Picked Up. As a result, all incoming orders are displayed in a single list without any indication of their status. This lack of differentiation makes it difficult for our team to manage order flow efficiently and track which orders are still being prepared versus those that have already been collected or are ready for pickup. This a must for good POS system.

  12. Clover should have the options to increase the price of modifiers as well for Grubhub, Doordash and Uber menus that are integrated with Clover POS. For example all 3rd party integrations runs updates on daily basis to sync the menu which brings the price of modifiers to what is set for in store prices and costing a restaurant to not be able to cover their 25% fee from increased menu since it is getting charged at same price on Doordash etc. same as store prices if the prices of items are set with modifiers.

    Hello, Thanks for reaching out to Clover with your requirement. We have developed the capability where merchants can make wholesale price adjustments on the modifiers within a given menu. In this way, you can have differential pricing for modifiers in your in-store Vs online ordering channels. We are rolling out this feature to merchants in phases and you should receive this shortly.

    Thanks.

  13. The ability to turn on or off the availability of a single modifier, if a modifier runs or not available like a topping, there should be the same availability for the items to 86’ the item or make it unavailable to the modifier single item which could also translate the availability on 3rd party channel platforms and integrate the availability modifier accordingly.

  14. Hi,

    I’d like to suggest adding an option to remove the QR code from payment receipts. It significantly increases printing time and doesn’t serve any purpose in our current setup.

    For high-volume businesses like ours, every second counts. Being able to disable the QR code would help speed up transactions and reduce customer wait times.

    Thank you for considering this improvement!

    This is already supported and merchants have an option to enable or opt-out of this via settings.

    Setup App >> Payments >> "Enable Scan to Pay"

  15. When using the "Custom Item" button within Clover Dining, it is not possible to assign a printer label to the item. This means that the item will appear on the guest check but it will never be fired to the kitchen. Am I missing something?

  16. Broomfield, CO has an Abo's Pizza that uses your services. Fix the typo so it says Broomfield, not Bloomfield, on all the stuff you send out. Yes, they have flowers there, but the name of the town is Broomfield.

  17. Merchant receipt needs to print the actual tax & fees not the total.
    Currently printed customer receipt states the actual fee or taxes however on the merchant receipt where the customer needs to sign it totals the amounts not itemized. If we only have a fee and no taxes it states "total taxes" which is misleading when there are no taxes.

  19. In-store our clover pos allows us to select multiple identical modifiers by tapping the plus sign next to the modifier name. Example: Order of three tacos with multiple meat options where the three options can be the same or different such as three chicken tacos or 2 chicken one steak. However when a customer places an order of that same three taco entree online they aren't allowed to select multiple of the same meat choice. They are forced to select three different kind of meat. They should be able to select three of the same kind of meat just like…

    Multiple Modifiers was released in October and enabled by default for all products supporting the use case. Please check your Online Store sites to configure this.

  20. Merchant would like the Server name to show on the KDS screen so if the cooks have a question about an order, they know who to ask. Currently it only shows the table name.
