From the Host Stand to the Kitchen to the Final Check.
Clover can connect the moving parts of full-service dining — seating, tableside ordering, course timing, kitchen communication and payment — while allowing the configuration to change with the way the restaurant actually operates.

The right configuration depends on service style, restaurant size, ordering flow and how much technology you want in the hands of the staff.
FULL-SERVICE WORKFLOW
From the Dining Room to the Kitchen, Keep Service Connected.
A full-service restaurant depends on more than taking an order. The right Clover setup can connect table management, tableside ordering, kitchen production and payment around the way your staff actually serves guests.
1
2Order at the Table
Give servers a mobile way to enter orders, modifiers and guest requests without repeatedly returning to a stationary terminal.
3Fire & Course Orders
Send the right items at the right time while keeping modifiers, courses and order details connected.
4Keep the Kitchen in Sync
Move orders digitally from front of house to kitchen production so staff can track what is being prepared and what comes next.
5Split, Settle & Pay
Handle split checks and flexible payment workflows while keeping checkout connected to the table experience.
CLOVER FOR FINE DINING
Keep the Technology Moving Without Interrupting the Experience.
Fine dining demands more than simply entering an order and taking a payment. Timing, communication and discretion matter. Clover can help connect the dining room and kitchen while giving servers tools to manage service closer to the guest.
COURSE TIMING
Take orders tableside and control when courses are fired to the kitchen.
SEATING & TABLE MANAGEMENT
Use digital floor plans along with reservation, seating and waitlist tools to help coordinate the dining room.
TABLESIDE SERVICE
Use mobile Clover devices to take orders and payments closer to the guest instead of repeatedly returning to a fixed station.
KITCHEN COMMUNICATION
Connect front-of-house ordering with Clover KDS for real-time ticket visibility and coordinated service.
FLEXIBLE CHECK SETTLEMENT
Split bills and complete payment in a way that fits the table and the guest experience.
ONE POSSIBLE CONFIGURATION
A Clover Setup for Fine Dining Could Include:
CLOVER FLEX
Tableside ordering and payment
STATION SOLO
Primary service / management station
CLOVER KDS
Kitchen communication and ticket visibility
This is an example configuration, not a fixed package. Device quantities and hardware mix should be determined by the restaurant’s workflow, service model and volume.
CLOVER FOR CASUAL DINING
Keep the Room Moving Without Losing Control of the Details.
Casual dining often combines table service, bar traffic, takeout and busy rush periods in the same operation. Clover can help servers move between the floor, kitchen and checkout while keeping orders and payments connected.
TABLESIDE ORDERING
Take orders closer to the table and send them into the restaurant workflow.
TABLE MANAGEMENT
Use digital table mapping to keep service organized across the dining room.
CHECK FLEXIBILITY
Handle bill splitting and different payment needs without disrupting service.
FRONT-TO-BACK COMMUNICATION
Connect order entry with kitchen workflows and Clover KDS.
TEAM MANAGEMENT
Use Clover business tools to help manage employee schedules, time and performance.
POSSIBLE HARDWARE MIX
A Clover Setup for Casual Dining Could Include:
STATION SOLO OR DUO
Counter / server-station operations
CLOVER FLEX
Mobile ordering and payment
CLOVER KDS
Kitchen order visibility
The right mix depends on service volume, number of stations, table layout and whether the restaurant wants handheld ordering throughout the floor.
GENERAL FULL SERVICE
Don’t Fit a Restaurant Label? Build Around the Workflow Instead.
Not every sit-down restaurant is fine dining or casual dining. Rather than force the operation into a category, we can configure Clover around the way orders, tables, staff, kitchen communication and payments actually move through the restaurant.
Build Around the Way the Restaurant Operates
DINING ROOM & TABLES
Configure table management, tabs and service workflows around the way the dining room actually operates.
ORDERING & HANDHELDS
Use fixed stations, mobile ordering and tableside payment in the combination that makes sense for the staff.
KITCHEN COMMUNICATION
Route orders into the kitchen and add Clover KDS where real-time kitchen visibility improves the workflow.
TAKEOUT & ADDITIONAL CHANNELS
Account for takeout, online ordering and other sales channels alongside the dine-in operation.
FLEXIBLE DEVICE MIX
Build the Hardware Around the Workflow.
CORE STATION
Station Solo or Station Duo
Primary server-station or checkout operations depending on the restaurant's workflow.
MOBILE SERVICE
Clover Flex
Add handheld ordering and payment where staff benefit from staying mobile.
KITCHEN
Clover KDS
Add kitchen order visibility where front-to-back communication is important.
SOFTWARE & APPS
Configured Around the Operation
Select restaurant software and applications based on the actual workflow and business needs.
The final configuration may use all, some or different combinations of these components depending on service style, volume and operational needs.
What Should the Setup Account For?
How many service stations are needed?
Will servers order or take payment tableside?
Is there a bar or open-tab workflow?
How should orders reach the kitchen?
Is takeout or online ordering part of the operation?
How many dining areas or locations need to be managed?
Those answers help determine the software plan, device mix and overall Clover configuration.
