Clover Tab Management Issues? Keep Tabs Running Smoothly

Tab management problems mean lost orders, wrong charges, and frustrated bar customers. Your bartenders need tabs to work perfectly during busy rushes.

Quick Fixes to Try Right Now

1

Check Card Pre-Authorization

Ensure card pre-auth is working. Tab issues often stem from failed initial card holds.

2

Verify Tab Settings

Review tab settings including auto-close time, pre-auth amounts, and maximum tab limits.

3

Assign Tabs to Employees

Ensure tabs are properly assigned to servers/bartenders to prevent access issues.

4

Check Open Tab Limits

You may have hit maximum open tab limits. Close old tabs to open new ones.

5

Sync All Devices

Tab data must sync across all stations. Unsynced devices show outdated tab information.
