USA | Clover has expanded its commitment to the restaurant industry with the launch of Clover Hospitality by BentoBox
POS company Clover, under parent company, Fiserv, has announced the launch of Clover Hospitality by BentoBox at the 2025 National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show in Chicago, with a bold commitment to the industry and new tagline, There’s a Clover for Every Restaurant.
The solution, complete with new-to-market features designed to enhance the guest experience, marks an exciting step forward as Clover, already serving more than 125,000 restaurants, expands its offerings to better serve the hospitality industry.
Clover’s journey in the restaurant industry has been driven by a deep understanding of the challenges restaurateurs face, from day-to-day operations to evolving guest expectations.
Its technology has supported a wide range of restaurants, from independent eateries to large franchises, and has helped businesses stay ahead of the curve with easy-to-use tools that integrate front-of-house and back-of-house operations. Clover Hospitality takes this commitment further, offering a solution built with the highest standards in mind to meet the specific needs of upper-market restaurants.
Clover Hospitality is a customised point-of-sale system specifically engineered to meet the needs of upper-market restaurants, blending advanced technology with exceptional hospitality. By combining industry-leading hardware, software, and payment technology, it empowers restaurant teams to deliver better service that drives profitability.
As restaurants adapt to shifting diner behaviors, according to the National Restaurant Association’s 2025 State of the Restaurant Industry report, 64 percent of full-service diners surveyed place value in the experience over the price, this brand-new technology provides a leg up in a multitude of ways, including streamlining back-of-house operations for a smooth shift, checkless payments for guests, and front-of-house notifications for a more seamless process with seating and turning tables.
“Clover has always been a leader in the industry and understands the pain points that restaurants are facing and the opportunities that lie ahead,” said Krystle Mobayeni, Senior Vice President, Head of Restaurants at Fiserv.
“We believe that the right technology can propel restaurants forward, allowing them to take day-to-day challenges in stride. Whether its reducing check wait times, optimising labour and table turns, or ensuring consistent connectivity, Clover Hospitality provides an all-in-one solution empowering both diners and restaurateurs to have a seamless, elevated experience.”
The Clover Hospitality technology includes omnicommerce capabilities from BentoBox – which was acquired by Fiserv in 2021, and enables restaurants to build their online presence, diversify revenue, engage with diners while increasing operational efficiency through websites, ordering, reservations, marketing tools and more. With this launch, Clover is now able to support a broader range of restaurants, from small neighbourhood spots to the world’s most distinguished dining experiences.
Knowing that cash-strapped operators continue to face greater challenge,s including restaurant expenses increasing by 26 percent since 2021, business loan interest rates reaching nearly eight percent in 2024, and hourly earnings growing by four percent in 2024, Clover Hospitality will meet numerous needs of restaurant owners and operators while also easing some of the stressors.
Newly announced, Clover is continuing to actualise its commitment to trailblazing innovation in the industry through a unique new collaboration with Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG). The two have teamed up to launch Checkless Payments, an alternative payment solution that empowers diners to pay for their meal without the disruption of asking and waiting for the bill, ensuring a memorable, friction-free dining experience. This solution, imagined by Frank Bisignano, former Fiserv Chairman, CEO and President, and Danny Meyer, Executive Chairman and Founder of USHG, is currently being piloted in Manhatta, USHG’s award-winning fine dining restaurant. The feature is available exclusively at USHG establishments, before being rolled out to restaurants leveraging the Clover Hospitality system.
“USHG has always championed technology that enhances hospitality and advances touch,” said Danny Meyer, USHG Founder and Executive Chairman.
“With Checkless Payments, we finally have a solution to the least hospitable part of the dining experience: waiting for the check. Checkless Payments has the potential to create a new industry standard, allowing diners to seamlessly pay their bill digitally and leave when they’re ready. Our team is proud to have partnered with Fiserv to make this vision a reality.”
