Clover Solo for Restaurants, Bars, Breweries & Cafés
A powerful countertop POS for fast order entry, open tabs, tips, kitchen printing, menu modifiers, and restaurant reporting — without the second customer-facing screen of the Clover Duo.
Not sure if you should choose the Solo or Duo? Solo is designed for the server station, hostess stand, or behind the bar. It does not accept NFC "tap" payments.
A powerful staff-facing POS for bars, lounges, and restaurants.
Clover Station Solo is a countertop POS built for staff-controlled checkout. It is a strong fit for bars, lounges, and restaurants that need open tabs, tips, happy hour pricing, reporting, and a clean register workflow without a second customer-facing screen.
Make tips easier to manage at the register.
Clover helps restaurants and bars manage tip options, staff totals, and end-of-shift reporting so you can keep checkout consistent and avoid messy tip tracking.
- Auto Gratuity Adding ensuring your staff gets paid
- Tip pooling options to help distribute tips across eligible staff
- Server banking reports to support end-of-shift reconciliation
- Cleaner staff workflow for bars, lounges, and restaurant registers
- Helpful reporting so managers can review tips, payments, and staff activity
Schedule specials before the rush starts.
Set up happy hour pricing, drink specials, and promo items so staff do not have to remember every discount manually during busy service.
- Automatic happy hour pricing for drinks, food, and limited-time specials
- Promo menu items that can be easier for staff to ring in correctly
- More consistent pricing across bartenders, servers, and shifts
- Less manual discounting during busy bar service
- Better control over specials, discounts, and menu changes
Start tabs and keep orders moving.
For bars and lounges, Clover can help staff start tabs, manage open checks, and close out guests without slowing down the bar.
- Open bar tabs so guests can continue ordering throughout their visit
- Card preauthorization when configured properly for your bar workflow
- Add items to open checks before closing out the tab
- Faster bar service because staff do not have to close every drink one-by-one
- Strong fit for bars, lounges, and restaurant bar stations
A real countertop POS station built around the staff screen.
Clover Station Solo combines a large merchant-facing touchscreen, integrated payment acceptance, and a built-in receipt printer. It is built for businesses that need a full countertop register workflow without the second customer-facing screen of the Clover Duo.
Staff ring up orders, manage tabs, print receipts, and take payments from one station.
Solo is best when the employee controls the checkout experience from behind the bar, host stand, or main register. If you want to bring payments directly to the customer for tap-to-pay, tableside checkout, curbside, or line-busting, add a Clover Flex handheld.
Start with the checkout workflow, then pick the device.
Clover Station Solo is best for businesses where staff control the checkout from behind the counter, behind the bar, or at a main register station. It is not always the best fit when customers need their own dedicated checkout screen.
Choose the Solo when these are true:
- You run a bar, lounge, full-service restaurant, or take payment away from the customer.
- Staff control the checkout from behind the bar, host stand, or main register.
- You need a full countertop POS with receipt printing, payments, tabs, discounts, and reporting.
- You want Clover’s larger register setup but do not need a second customer-facing screen.
- You may add a Clover Flex, kitchen printer, KDS, cash drawer, online ordering, or other Clover tools later.
Consider another Clover when these are true:
- Customers check out with you face-to-face and should see tips, totals, signatures, PIN entry, and payment prompts on their own screen.
- You want the most polished customer-facing checkout experience.
- Your main checkout is a QSR counter or customer-facing retail register.
- You need customers to confirm their order and payment details on a dedicated second screen.
- You want a smaller countertop footprint and a Clover Mini or Compact is enough.
Solo is built for staff-controlled checkout.
Choose Clover Station Solo when your team is managing orders, tabs, tips, and payments from the staff side of the counter. Choose Clover Station Duo when the customer-facing screen is important for tips, signatures, PIN debit, payment prompts, and order confirmation.

Not sure if Solo fits your restaurant? How Clover Solo Fits Different Restaurant & Bar Workflows Bars, lounges, full-service restaurants, cafés with staff-controlled checkout, and mixed Solo + Flex setups. Expand table ↓
Use Solo behind the bar to manage open tabs, closeouts, happy hour pricing, tips, employee activity, and end-of-shift reporting without needing a dedicated customer-facing screen.
- Open tabs and closeouts for busy bar workflows
- Happy hour and promo pricing when configured with the right menu setup
- Tip reporting and staff totals for end-of-shift reconciliation
- Employee permissions for discounts, refunds, no-sales, and reporting access
Solo can anchor the restaurant’s main staff station while your team uses other Clover devices for tableside payments, kitchen routing, order management, and reporting.
- Host stand or server station for staff-controlled order entry and management
- Table mapping and open checks with the correct restaurant software plan
- Kitchen printer or KDS routing when configured for back-of-house workflows
- Pair with Clover Flex to bring payments directly to the table
Solo can work for cafés where staff control the transaction and the customer does not need a dedicated second display for tips, signatures, PIN entry, and order confirmation.
- Simple menu buttons for drinks, food, add-ons, and modifiers
- Staff-facing checkout when the employee controls the register
- Online ordering and menu tools with the right restaurant plan
- Consider Duo instead if face-to-face customer checkout is the main workflow
Since Clover Station Solo is a staff-facing register, many restaurants and bars pair it with a Clover Flex so payments can happen tableside, on the patio, at events, or wherever the customer is.
- Solo stays at the main station for orders, tabs, reports, receipts, and management
- Flex goes to the customer for tap, chip, swipe, signatures, and tipping
- Helpful for patios, events, overflow, and line-busting
- Connected Clover reporting keeps payments and activity in the same ecosystem

“Someone online told me that if I was going to get a Clover system, I should go through a trusted sales rep — and that was the best advice I could’ve received. Ryan helped with everything: setting up my menu, uploading my inventory, and even integrating my gift cards.”
“I’ve been in business for over 20 years using credit card processors and Ryan is by far the most knowledgeable, helpful individual I have ever used.”
“If I have a question, Ryan still answers the phone or returns my call. I don’t get tossed around with customer service reps.”
