Guests dining in? Let them scan to order

Your guests can do all the things they’re used to dining in: look through the menu, choose what they like, and pay the bill. But this time, they can do it all from the safety of their mobile devices—with Scan to Order, a recent addition to our contactless commerce family of software. With Clover’s contactless ordering technology, you can turn tables faster with a smaller staff, all while making your guests’ dining experience safer.

From the Clover dashboard, your server prints a QR code* that contains the menu and table information.

The digital menu feature of Scan to Order saves us time and money by allowing us to completely eliminate three types of printed menus, saving us hundreds of dollars per week. We can update a single online menu on the spot to highlight specials or remove sold-out items. And now we usually sell-out of the daily specials that appear at the top of our digital menu.
