Migration guide

Switching from Clover to MarginKind

Plan around hardware, permissions, and inventory cleanup. Clover environments often grow through device setup and apps; MarginKind migration is a chance to simplify the operating map.

Step 1

Document devices and apps

List Clover devices, payment flows, kitchen routing, employee permissions, inventory apps, and any third-party add-ons in active use.

  • Inventory devices by station
  • Export item and category data
  • List third-party apps and dependencies

Step 2

Translate operations, not screens

Rebuild the workflows your team actually needs: order entry, KDS, receiving, waste, staff permissions, and reporting.

  • Map menu categories to MarginKind modules
  • Build stock and recipe records
  • Configure staff roles by unit

Step 3

Stage payment and service cutover

Validate hardware/payment assumptions separately from service workflows so a payment decision does not block operational training.

  • Confirm payment approach
  • Run a mock service
  • Train managers on close-out and exception handling

Want help pressure-testing the plan?

Bring your current menu, staff role list, and one week of close-out reports. We can map the riskiest cutover points before you commit.
