餐厅选择 Toast 而非 Clover 的 3 大理由
透明的定价和支持
Toast 的定价、支持和上线引导服务都是透明的。您将始终清楚地了解所支付的费用以及将获得的服务。

为促进业务增长而设计
随着业务的增长，您无需重新寻找新的 POS 机系统，也无需依赖于任何第三方平台。

A closer look at the Toast vs. Clover difference
透明的定价和支持
透明
Toast 预先清晰公示起始价格，各渠道定价一致，无隐形收费。相比之下，Clover 并没有在其网站上列出 Clover Hospitality 的定价。
成本可预测
Toast 的定价可预测，没有任何隐藏费用。Clover 产品可通过经销商购买，价格因购买渠道而异。
为所有套餐提供一致的支持
使用 Toast，所有客户都可以享受每周 7 天的电话支持（东部时间上午 7:00 到午夜 12:00），以及由专属顾问提供的定制化入门服务。Clover 仅在星期一至星期五提供官方电话支持。对于未直接从 Clover 购买服务的商家，支持时间由卖家设定，并因卖家而异。
真正统一的原生平台
Toast 是完全集成的餐厅平台，并拥有薪资管理等原生的第一方工具。Clover 缺乏垂直集成的薪资解决方案，导致餐厅经营者不得不管理第三方集成。Toast 还通过与 Meta 集成，直接在 POS 机系统中借助 Toast Web 提供社交媒体发帖功能，让客户可以从 Toast 直接发布内容至 Instagram 和 Facebook。Clover 则需要依赖第三方社交媒体管理工具。
高级见解和数据驱动型 AI
Toast 不断投资创新技术，推出了 Toast IQ AI 助手和 Toast Benchmarking 等增强功能。
借助 Toast IQ，您可以轻松发现数据中所隐藏的机会，并且无需离开聊天界面即可采取必要措施。Clover 需要依赖第三方工具才能使用 AI 聊天助手，或者在基础菜单构建等基础功能之外实现后台任务自动化。
Clover 提供同行见解报告，宣称能为您提供所在地区同类企业的平均销售总额和交易总额，而 Toast Benchmarking 可提供菜单项级的详尽见解和桌位翻台时间。
旨在随业务增长而扩展
Toast 旨在与企业共同成长，满足不断发展的需求，而不是被淘汰。
灵活起步，为当下量身定制
餐厅和零售商可以选择适合当前运营情况的产品和套件，而无需预先过度采买。

Retail store?13 Toast has you covered.
Alongside the restaurant platform above, Toast offers an all-in-one retail POS that replaces a patchwork of separate retail tools. Clover for Retail requires operators to add third-party apps for core functions like invoicing.13 Whether you're selling grab-and-go items, branded merchandise, or pantry staples, Toast is built to help retailers succeed. Rebel Cheese in NYC grew retail sales by 20% in its first year while using Toast Retail.4
Toast Retail can scan a supplier invoice with AI to create items and update your quantities, costs, and catalog — new arrivals go from invoice to shelf in minutes. Clover’s retail solution has no native invoice-scanning capability; operators need to add a third-party app through Clover's App Market to get similar functionality.13
Toast Retail hardware works as hard as you do. Integrated barcode scanners, label printers, and weighted scales all help enable a seamless checkout experience.13 And, with the Toast Go® 3, staff can scan barcodes right from the floor to ring up items on the spot, no extra equipment, no delays.
