POS / Clover POS
POS Comparison
Clover can be a great answer. It's not the only answer.
Earnside can provide and support Clover where it fits the operation, while also evaluating advanced alternatives when the business needs deeper customization, integrations or multi-location control.
One of Earnside's go-to solutions
Strengths
- Very large player across many verticals, including hospitality and quick service
- Out-of-the-box, plug-and-play setup
- Very reliable hardware and software
- Personalized service delivered by Earnside and Echelon — not just the vendor
Worth knowing
- Clover's own vendor support can be subpar on its own
- Limited customization for more sophisticated or enterprise merchants
Clover is one of the systems Earnside reaches for most often. The plug-and-play reliability is real — the personalized service layer on top of it is what Earnside and Echelon add, since Clover's own support isn't where it needs to be.
The Decision Framework
Workflow. Economics. Support.
Workflow
What does your team actually need to do during the busiest hour of the day?
Economics
What are you paying across processing, software, hardware and the cost of changing systems?
Support
Who owns installation, training and the inevitable issue that needs a human answer?
