FAQ's

Which restaurants should choose Clover?

Clover is a good choice for restaurants that need a flexible POS system with features to manage payments, sales, and orders. Restaurant owners say Clover is easier to customize than other systems, so you can set it up to fit your restaurant’s needs. Clover works well for both dine-in and takeout, but it's not fully focused on delivery.

Clover has a lot of apps you can add to improve how it works. However, Clover isn’t really designed for handling online orders as its main focus.

If your restaurant focuses on delivery or online orders, other solutions might be better. Clover doesn’t focus on marketing tools to drive online orders from your site. It doesn’t rebuild your website to attract new customers through Google SEO. Clover also doesn’t give you a branded mobile app for your restaurant to help grow reorders.

Which restaurants should choose GrubHub?

GrubHub gets your restaurant extra exposure via their popular app. GrubHub itself has 8% market share behind DoorDash and Uber Eats. Most data says GrubHub is more popular in metropolitan cities.

GrubHub charges a 5-15% marketing fee plus a 10% delivery commission. DoorDash and Uber Eats often charge a higher delivery commission, around 15-30%, which could make them more expensive overall. Those platforms offer more marketing tools, however.

Like other food delivery services, GrubHub’s fees make it hard for restaurants to profit on delivery orders. GrubHub doesn’t rebuild your website to attract new customers through Google SEO. It also doesn’t let you control your customer data, making it harder to market to them.
