5 reasons every restaurant needs Clover Online Ordering with Delivery now

The best part? Orders and payments are processed by Clover and dispatched through DoorDash® to your customers. That means, there’s no need for your own delivery crew–and it’s usually for less than most delivery aggregators.

Here are 5 reasons your restaurant should take Clover Online Ordering with Delivery for a spin now.

5 reasons restaurants should try Clover Online Ordering with Delivery 

1. Get more bang for your buck out of Clover POS

Clover Online Ordering with Delivery generally costs less than orders delivered through aggregators, like Postmates and Uber Eats. DoorDash^® charges a $6.99 delivery fee per order, invoiced monthly, and you have the option to pass through some or all of the delivery fees to your customers. That could mean an increase in revenue per order for you and lower delivery fees for your customers. 

When you sign up for Clover Online Ordering with Delivery, we’ll build your online ordering page for your restaurant’s website. It shows up automatically in the Clover mobile app. We’ll also set up and process your online orders for you. Even better, we offer Online Ordering and Delivery with no additional fees for online ordering solutions. That means, there are no set up or subscription fees associated with Clover’s online ordering solutions for takeout, curbside pick up, or dine-in. Of course, delivery fees may apply to online orders with delivery.

2. Expand your reach and streamline the experience.

With Clover, online orders and food delivery services are no longer just for the big guys. Restaurants of all shapes and sizes can now offer customers online ordering and delivery. With delivery orders dispatched directly to DoorDash^®, you can also expand your reach and bring in a new customer base through online food delivery without the hassle of managing in-house delivery drivers. 

With 37 million customers using DoorDash^®, Clover’s Online Ordering with Delivery could be just the ticket to help your restaurant reach new diners. Clover Customer Engagement also helps you promote your restaurant and build relationships with new and existing diners–provided free of charge with your Clover POS.

3. Deliver what your customers want–how they want it

Online ordering is a win-win for restaurant owners and customers alike. Clover Online Ordering with Delivery offers online food ordering for all the ways your guests want to dine: takeout, curbside pickup, delivery, and traditional dine-in. Clover also offers customers the convenience they desire with scheduled orders, allowing diners to order now and schedule a more convenient pickup time or delivery time later. What’s more, the Clover App lets you add Rewards, Promos, and Feedback tools to help you thank and reward new and loyal customers.

4. Take even more control of your orders and deliveries

With Clover, your restaurant becomes a one-stop shop for online orders and delivery from your POS system. Clover Online Ordering with Delivery puts you in the driver’s seat of all online orders. Keep track of your payments, ordering, and reporting all in one place. Manage a single menu for both in-restaurant and online transactions. Stay on top of everything from inventory and menu syncs to order processing and payment–quickly and easily right from your restaurant POS system. 

5. Optimize dine-in ordering and payments

Even with the latest innovation in restaurant technologies and the new methods of dining, people still love to visit a restaurant in-person. In fact, the National Restaurant Association reports that 9 in 10 adults enjoy dining in a restaurant. Online food ordering can optimize the dine-in experience, too. With Clover Online Ordering with Delivery, you can print QR codes and stickers to allow in-person guests to order and pay from their mobile devices with Scan to Order and Scan to Pay options. That’s a dining experience served up just the way your guests want it.
