Around New York

New York, region by region.

New York City

Across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, restaurants, bars, delis, and shops stay busy from morning until late at night. Handhelds for the bar and the table, and a POS with inventory for stores, cover most setups.

Long Island and Westchester

Suburban restaurants, salons, med spas, and contractors need checkout at the counter plus payments on the road. Clover at the front desk or counter, with Clover Go or SwipeSimple for jobs and visits, keeps everything in one account.

Hudson Valley and the Capital Region

From the Hudson Valley to Albany, wineries, farm stands, cafés, and shops sell at a counter during the week and at markets and events on weekends. Mobile readers cover the events on the same account as your counter.

Upstate and Western New York

Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo have neighborhood restaurants, bars, markets, and auto shops that stay busy through long winters. A POS with inventory and a handheld for the bar or table covers most setups.

Example setups

How New York businesses set it up.

A bodega in the Bronx

Open nearly around the clock with thousands of items.

Setup: OctoPOS with scanning, EBT/SNAP, and inventory.

A pizzeria in Brooklyn

Slices at lunch and delivery at night.

Setup: FoodTec with web ordering, so the phones calm down, and driver tracking for every delivery.

A winery in the Finger Lakes

Tastings and wine club members.

Setup: Clover at the tasting bar, with recurring billing for the club.

A summer shop in the Hamptons

Busy summers and a slow winter.

Setup: Material POS with Shopify sync, plus an extra iPad for summer.

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

Local spotlight

Local favorites across New York.

NYC bodegas and Buffalo wing spots keep New York busy. Here's how we set them up.

NYC bodegas and delis

New York City had an estimated 13,000 bodegas in 2020.

Setup: Fast counter checkout, EBT, and inventory on one POS.

Buffalo wing spots

One well-known account says Buffalo wings were first made at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo in 1964.

Setup: Online ordering, tabs on game days, and orders straight to the kitchen.
