Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Clover's 'Scan to Order' Feature Provides a Touchless Experience

— October 29, 2020 — Lifestyle
Clover, a POS system company, announced that it would be expanding its services with the introduction of a 'Scan to Order' feature that provides consumers with a touchless experience that limits contact and ensures secure payment.

Restaurants who've included the updated feature are able to provide their guests with QR codes that are generated by Clover, which they can scan with a smartphone in order to access the restaurant's menu, create an order, and pay. In addition to limiting physical contact, the feature is said to drive more transactions while allowing servers to focus on their tables, save on paper as fewer menus need to be printed, and increase customer data and payment security by using Clover's encrypted digital processing.
