Two different jobs — used together

Clover is a POS-and-payments system, sold heavily through Fiserv merchant accounts and hardware. Aedan Rose is the AI-native software layer that runs your online business and back office. Most operators keep Clover at the counter and add Aedan Rose for everything the terminal doesn't do.

Where Clover fits

Clover: In-person, card-present checkout on well-built hardware (Station, Mini, Flex), with processing bundled in. Strong at the counter.
Aedan Rose: Runs alongside it. Keep your terminal for cards-present; move online ordering, bookings and marketing to one platform.

One platform vs a stack of apps

Clover: Reservations, loyalty, marketing and deeper analytics typically come from third-party marketplace apps, each its own subscription and login.
Aedan Rose: Ordering, reservations, floor plan, CRM, loyalty, scheduling, inventory and analytics share one database and one bill.

AI-native, not bolt-on

Clover: AI features come via marketplace add-ons rather than a native, agentic operator built into the platform.
Aedan Rose: A multi-agent guest AI on every plan, plus the agentic Aedan Rose Copilot on the Manager plan that executes real work with your approval.

Ordering, reservations, floor plan, CRM, loyalty, scheduling, inventory and analytics — no stack of point tools.

One platform, not a stack of subscriptions

Where Clover solves the counter, Aedan Rose ties the whole front and back of house together — ordering, reservations, customer service, marketing, loyalty and analytics on one database and one bill. Every capability below is built in; plan names are noted so nothing is oversold.

Multi-agent guest AI

Specialized AI agents handle reservations, ordering, menu questions and FAQs in 100+ languages, 24/7 — and complete the action, not just route it. On every plan.

VIP sections + live deposits

Sell VIP sections, private rooms and bottle service with live Stripe deposits taken right in the booking flow — bring your own Stripe. On every plan.

Loyalty & win-back

Built-in diner loyalty and rewards, plus a hands-off win-back engine that re-engages lapsed guests across reservations, orders and chat. All paid plans.

Customer CRM

A guest database shared with reservations, orders and AI chat, so every diner profile stays current — with AI-driven segments and guest intelligence. All paid plans.

Branded diner email

Send branded, restaurant-specific campaigns from the same database that powers your bookings — no separate list-syncing tool. All paid plans.

Analytics that scale with you

Revenue analytics and the Money Dashboard from Full House; customer-behavior, real-time monitoring, engagement, peak-time and top-performance insights on Manager.

Inventory built in

Core and advanced inventory — recipes, imports and insights — plus geofenced timeclock, on Full House and up. No separate BOH subscription.

Team operations built in

Scheduling, team chat, tasks, time-off/PTO and shift trades from $79; the visual floor plan on Full House ($299) and up — plus free iOS and Android team apps.

What Clover does well

No marketing handwave: Clover has real strengths. If your priorities map to these, weigh them carefully.

Strong physical POS for in-person businesses: Clover hardware (Station, Mini, Flex) is well-built. If your business is largely walk-in counter service or table service with cards-present, Clover's terminals do the job well.

Large app marketplace: Clover has hundreds of third-party integrations across loyalty, inventory, payroll and more. If you've built a stack on Clover apps, migrating those integrations takes work.

Local ISO support: Clover is sold through banks and ISOs nationwide, so in-person help is available in many markets — useful for operators who want someone local to call for hardware issues.

End-to-end payment + POS reconciliation: Because Clover owns processing, reconciling sales and deposits is straightforward — you don't juggle two vendors for card-present sales.

Switching is additive, not a rip-and-replace

You don't have to turn off Clover to start. Keep the terminal, add Aedan Rose for everything online, and let the platform pay for itself before you commit — it's month-to-month.

1

Start free, keep Clover

Create an account on the free plan and keep using your Clover terminal for card-present sales. Nothing at the counter changes.

2

Connect your Stripe

Link your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect. Online payments go directly to your bank — you keep your processing relationship.

3

Add your menu & go live

Set up your menu, embed the ordering widget and turn on reservations. Your guest AI starts answering diners the same day.

4

Grow into more when ready

Move up to Full House for the Money Dashboard and inventory, or Manager for the agentic Copilot — month-to-month, no hardware financing.

Start free — keep your terminal

What switching your online business saves

On Clover, online ordering, reservations, loyalty and marketing typically stack up as separate marketplace apps, each with its own fee — on top of your POS plan and processing. Aedan Rose folds those into one flat, per-location subscription from $79/mo.

Typical Clover setup: POS plan + hardware + bundled processing, plus separate marketplace apps for reservations, loyalty and marketing — costs that add up as you grow.

Aedan Rose from $79/mo per location: ordering, reservations, CRM, loyalty and analytics in one flat subscription. Bring your own Stripe and keep your rate; no cut on your margin from Aedan Rose. Yearly billing gets two months free. See full pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Can Aedan Rose replace Clover entirely?
For your online business — ordering, reservations, CRM, loyalty and analytics — yes, Aedan Rose is a full all-in-one platform. For in-person, card-present sales you'll keep a POS terminal (Clover, Square, Toast, or any ISO's reader). Aedan Rose is software-only and runs alongside the terminal you already have.
Will I need new hardware?
No. Aedan Rose runs in any browser and ships with free iOS and Android team apps. Keep your Clover hardware for in-person transactions; Aedan Rose handles your website orders, reservations, marketing and customer chat.
How does processing work?
Aedan Rose uses Stripe Connect. You link your own Stripe account, payments go directly to your bank, and there's no revenue cut from Aedan Rose on your margin (a small guest-side fee applies on orders, like before). Clover bundles processing into its hardware and software, typically at a markup over interchange.
Am I locked into a long contract?
No. Aedan Rose is month-to-month, priced per location, with a free plan to start and a 30-day trial on paid plans. Clover hardware is often financed over 36 months, which effectively locks you in.
What makes Aedan Rose AI-native?
A multi-agent guest AI answers diners, takes bookings and helps them order 24/7 in 100+ languages on every plan. On the Manager plan ($949/mo) you also get the agentic Aedan Rose Copilot, which reads your data and proposes and executes real actions with your approval — building schedules, messaging staff, editing the menu and managing your CRM. Clover offers third-party marketplace apps rather than a native, agentic AI operator.
What about my existing Clover apps?
Clover-specific marketplace apps won't carry over. Aedan Rose includes built-in loyalty, CRM, win-back, ordering, reservations, scheduling, inventory and analytics, so most of that stack is replaced by one platform. For any Clover-only integration, check whether it's truly load-bearing before migrating.
