Move the line. Take every order channel. Run one stack.
Counter-service operations live and die on throughput. Arca + Clover gives you a fast counter device, kitchen ticket routing, online order aggregation, and loyalty — all integrated so your line keeps moving and your team stops translating between apps.
- Clover Mini at the counter — full POS in a small footprint
- OrderOut consolidates DoorDash / Uber Eats / Grubhub into one queue
- Loyalty enrollment in the same screen that takes the payment
The counter-service problems that actually matter.
Speed of service at peak
Mini’s 8" screen and built-in printer keep counter checkout to ~15 seconds per ticket. No external printer cables to trip on, no peripheral drops mid-rush.
Delivery aggregation, finally
OrderOut routes orders from every major delivery platform into one Clover queue. Your team prepares from a single ticket list, not three tablets.
Loyalty without a separate device
Fivestars enrollment happens on the same customer-facing screen used for payment. Sign-up rates go up because there’s no friction.
Kitchen tickets routed by station
Print or display tickets by station (grill, fryer, expo) automatically — no shouted orders, fewer remakes.
Dual pricing that actually saves money
For lower-ticket counter-service, a properly disclosed dual pricing program offsets nearly all of your processing fees — it hits hardest on small tickets, where the fee is the biggest share of the sale. We help configure it compliantly.
Multi-location reporting that lines up
Run multiple shops on one Arca account; consolidated sales, labor, and inventory reporting across all of them.
The right device for counter-service.

The smaller the ticket, the more it saves.
Processing fees are a bigger share of a small sale — so dual pricing returns the most on low tickets.
| Ticket size | Effective fee rate |
|---|---|
| $5 | 4.5% |
| $10 | 3.5% |
| $25 | 2.9% |
| $60 | 2.7% |

-
Dual pricing compliance
Dual pricing is disclosed on receipts and configured to stay compliant with Visa, Mastercard, and your state. We post a cash price and a card price and handle the disclosure rules.
-
Inventory + ingredient tracking
Thrive Inventory or your existing inventory tool deducts ingredients as items are sold, surfacing low-stock items before they go 86.
-
Drive-thru and walk-up at once
Two terminals running the same menu means drive-thru and walk-up can be served in parallel without translation errors at the kitchen line.
