What it is

Clover is a POS and payments platform commonly offered via merchant banks and resellers. Restaurant capability depends on the Clover app/device mix you are sold—confirm restaurant-specific apps, not only retail defaults.

Who it’s for

Rooms that want countertop / handheld Clover devices with app marketplace add-ons

Key capabilities

Clover hardware (station, mini, flex, and related devices as currently sold)
Payments processing through the acquiring partner
App marketplace modules (scheduling, inventory, etc.)—vet restaurant fitness per app

Pricing model

Pricing is usually quoted by the reseller or bank (hardware lease vs. purchase, processing, software). There is no single national list price that fits every deal—get the full quote in writing.
