I replaced my clover system (Station + Flex) and I am not sure if it's possible to sell them? The Clover rep told me it was, I also read that they needed to be reprogrammed by Clover. Anyone has successfully sold their old Clover POS? Any website you would recommend?
I am a retired software engineer and manage a small restaurant. I rebuilt the POS and replaced Clover, table management, online ordering, added real-time reservations, gift cards, shift management aligned with payroll,... I added a marketing engine based on QR codes (started a ValPak campaign with it). Right now I am building the manager app that let me scan receipts and delivery invoices and track price changes (mostly up these days). That's the only app that costs something (not in my pocket), you need to sign up for an OCR service (~$5/year for a small restaurant). It's a cool app, I was at Costco the other and the price of lamb looked low, I pulled up my app and checked how much we had paid last time at US Chef's Store and lo and behold, it was about $0.40 lower.
I even added a music player that works during business hours automatically. You can load it up with our MP3s or you can generate music (like I did) with a service like Suno. The staff no longer has to struggle to find something suitable on YouTube.
Now, this is not for everyone, at the moment you'd need someone who knows its way around setting it up. Overall, I'd reckon this is replacing $300/$500 subscriptions per month. You can choose your payment processor. I switched to one that's just OK, so I won't mention it, but the good news is that I can switch to another one when I want. It works also with Clover Flex in case you want to replace the subscription to their table management package with something that doesn't cost a monthly subscription.
I also developed a tool to manage your website, I am helping a friend who runs an art gallery to use it. An art gallery website is hard to come up with: it needs to be attractive, things change all the time (exhibitions, new artists, new art pieces...). So it's kind of a hard problem to crack without a dedicated person taking care of it. He just can't afford that.
I run it with two raspberry pi 5 ($150 x 2) and Two 8" Android tablets (2 x $120). I use to computers for redundancy in case one falls apart.
I publish the code here: https://getkizo.com Again, I don't have anything to sell. I don't want to get involved in sales, installation and support. I just publish what I build for my restaurant.
