Clover POS is super customizable. They offer multiple hardware set-ups, from desk-based systems with a cash drawer to pocket-sized card readers that link to your phone. This all gives perfect customization as you can set your restaurant up with one central desk terminal, but give your staff mobile terminals so that they can accept payment tableside.
