Sable A
Salon Owner Educator
3.0

Sable a.: Hello, my name is Sable. I am a salon owner and I'm an independent salon owner of one currently and my rating for Clover is a three star. Prior to Clover, I had a manual system. So it was just me keeping my books and it wasn't working for me because I felt like I wanted to have an online presence and also have a little bit more organization in my business as I want to grow my company more and so Clover was able to help me to begin to systemate my company. I chose Clover because the device was small and compact for my small business space. I also liked the aesthetics of the device matching my decor. The other reason was also, again, because it was suggested to me and it met my needs as I was beginning my company. I also enjoyed Clover and chose it because the device was pretty simple and straightforward straight out the box and the support was actually really excellent. So at first, I guess because I was juggling getting started with Clover, out the package, the device was very easy to set up. The customer support was always there to answer any of my questions. I guess implementing it was where I just needed a little bit more support or help and I need to figure out how it worked for my business. But overall, the setup and getting it in place was very simple and straightforward. It was more like adding the products and inventory and things like that. That took a little bit more time because there is a slight learning curve, but I picked up on it pretty quick. I would recommend a business or salon owner or other companies look into the type of interface that you would like or what you really need your POS system to manage. Clover is kind of like your one-stop shop. So it does have a reward system. It's easy to develop your customer database and organize. You can also put your services or products or for restaurants, food items. So organization is very simple. The one thing I would say to consider is also the software. So how you can integrate maybe online or if you wanted to do more online things like booking or reservations or things like that, just look into what programs you really want to use because there is an app store that they have that you just want to be more familiar with prior to purchasing.
