Clover POS for ice cream and frozen yogurt shops

We build the menu around the choices your crew asks out loud. Size comes first: one scoop, two, a kid's size. Then cup or cone, with an upcharge on the waffle cone if you have one. Toppings are modifiers, priced each or included up to a number you set. Sundaes, shakes and floats are their own items with their own options. Flavors do not need a button each unless you want to count them; leaving flavors off the register keeps the screen short. Tell us which way you run and we build it to match.

Selling by weight means a scale that the register reads, and that needs checking for your exact setup before you buy anything. Clover's frozen yogurt page describes payments, inventory, loyalty and employee tools; it does not describe a scale. So ask us: tell us the scale you have, or that you need one, and we will confirm what works with the Clover device we propose and whether it needs an App Market app. If you sell by the cup size instead of by weight, none of that applies.

A scoop shop menu built well is a short screen, and a new hire can ring a cone on a first shift. What makes it easy is the setup: big buttons for the things you sell most, modifiers in the order your crew asks the questions, and nothing on the first screen that is used once a week. Each employee gets a login, and Clover's ice cream page describes employee permissions that limit what each person can reach, so a new scooper can ring sales without being able to issue refunds. We train your returning staff so they can train the rest.

A Clover Mini fits most scoop counters: it takes little room next to the dipping cabinet and has a built-in printer. A shop with a long summer line often does better with a Clover Station Duo, where the guest sees the order, tips and pays on a screen of their own.

For the season, a second Mini or a Clover Flex handheld can be added and put away again in the fall. Ask us how the software plan is billed for a device you only use part of the year; we lay that out in the quote.

Yes. Clover's ice cream page describes selling at fairs, festivals and off-site events with a handheld device or a mobile card reader. A Clover Flex is a handheld with a built-in printer; a Clover Go is a small reader that pairs with a phone. Sales from the cart land in the same reports as the shop. A truck that is your whole business is covered on the food trucks page; this is for a shop that takes a cart out a few times a season.

Clover's ice cream page describes online orders for delivery, in-store pickup or curbside. For a scoop shop the useful part is usually pickup: pints, quarts and cakes ordered ahead and paid for before the customer arrives. Custom cakes that need a date and an inscription can also be taken at the counter with a note on the order. We set up whichever you want, and tell you what online ordering adds to the cost before you turn it on.

Yes. Clover's ice cream page lists a loyalty program and promotions sent by email or text, and Clover offers both physical and digital gift cards. A digital rewards program replaces the paper punch card, so nobody loses a card with nine stamps on it. How points are earned differs between Clover's own rewards and the App Market apps; bring the punch card you use now and we match it. Gift cards matter most in the cold months and around the holidays; we set them up before then.

Yes, for sales at the counter. The prices on your board are the card prices, and customers who pay cash get 3.5% off for cash. Credit and debit customers pay the posted price, and nothing is added at the register. It does not apply to online orders. We set up the program and the signs.
