Around Georgia

Georgia, region by region.

Atlanta

Atlanta has restaurants, salons, barbershops, and service businesses in every neighborhood. Counter and table setups for restaurants, and quick checkout with tips for salons and barbershops, cover most businesses in the city.

North metro Atlanta

Marietta, Alpharetta, Roswell, and Sandy Springs have restaurants, medical offices, auto shops, and contractors serving busy suburbs. Card on file and payment links help with customers who pay after the visit.

Coastal Georgia

Savannah and the coast have restaurants, cafés, and shops that serve visitors all year. A counter POS, plus handhelds for the patio, keeps checkout quick when it's busy.

Across the rest of Georgia

Macon, Augusta, Columbus, and Athens have restaurants, bars near campus, liquor stores, and auto shops. A POS with inventory for stores and handhelds for the table cover most setups.

Example setups

How Georgia businesses set it up.

An Atlanta catering company

Corporate lunches during the week and weddings on weekends.

Setup: Invoices with a pay button for deposits, and Clover Go for final payments at the event.

A Savannah tour company

Walking and trolley tours booked online by visitors.

Setup: Payments that work alongside TicketSpice for bookings, and Clover Flex at check-in.

A sports bar in Athens

Game-day Saturdays that fill every seat.

Setup: Union POS so tables order from their phones, with Clover at the bar.

A salon in Alpharetta

Appointments, deposits, and retail products.

Setup: Cojilio for booking and deposits, with tips on the screen.

These are examples, not specific clients. Your setup is based on how your business runs and what you process.

Local spotlight

Local favorites across Georgia.

Savannah inns and Athens game days keep Georgia busy. Here's how we set them up.

Savannah tours and inns

Savannah drew 14.8 million visitors in 2019 to a historic downtown built around 22 squares.

Setup: Take bookings and deposits online, check guests in with a tablet, and sell extras like souvenirs and drinks at the end of the tour.

Athens game days

The University of Georgia's Sanford Stadium in Athens seats 93,033.

Setup: When the town fills up on Saturdays, extra handhelds and tap payments keep bar and restaurant lines moving.
