Example setups

How Seattle businesses set it up.

A coffee shop on Capitol Hill

A line at 8 a.m. and a steady stream of mobile orders from nearby apartments.

Setup: Clover at the counter, with online ordering so pickup cups are on the shelf when people walk in.

A brewery in Ballard

A taproom that fills up on rainy weekends, plus crowlers and merch.

Setup: MicroSale with pre-authorized bar tabs, and a separate Clover at the merch counter.

A seafood counter near Pike Place

Visitors buying smoked salmon to carry home and locals buying dinner.

Setup: Clover at the counter for fast checkout, with SwipeSimple as a backup reader on the busiest days.

A yoga studio in Kirkland

Members, class packs, and teacher trainings.

Setup: Payments that work alongside Mindbody, with monthly memberships on autopay and drop-ins paid at the desk.

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

Local spotlight

Local favorites across Seattle.

Capitol Hill cafés, Ballard breweries, and market seafood stalls keep Seattle busy. Here's how we set them up.

About a dozen breweries make up the Ballard Brewery District.
