Contest awards businesses that have a unique
story, mission and vision and demonstrate potential for social and
community impact, helping them become even better
Three small businesses across the U.S. will receive a boost
after being named CloverAchievers by Clover®, a First Data company
that is now part of Fiserv, Inc. Each of the three winning
businesses – Ludwig’s German Table (San Jose, California), The
Seafood Lady (Louisville, Kentucky), and Harlem Doggie Day Spa (New
York) – will receive a combination of a cash grant, a Clover
point-of-sale technology and equipment makeover, and a $5,000
donation made in their name to a local approved philanthropic
organization of their choice.
CloverAchievers, which launched during National Small Business
Week, celebrates the impact small businesses have on the U.S.
economy and spotlights business owners who are unique and
authentic, passionate about their day-to-day work, and who go above
and beyond to achieve success.
“Ludwig’s German Table, The Seafood Lady, and Harlem Doggie Day
Spa embody the passion for business and vision for success that
we’re proud to empower in all of our clients around the world,
every day,” said John Beatty, co-founder of Clover. “These
businesses stood out among thousands of impressive applicants for
their current success and potential to create great experiences for
future customers and positively impact their communities.”

“We are honored to be named the grand prize winner of
CloverAchievers. We can’t wait to use the award and Clover upgrade
to grow our business, while also having the opportunity to give
back to our community,” said Ben Bate, co-owner and operator of
Ludwig’s German Table. “As we open Ludwig’s second location in
Mountain View, California, the grant will help cover our startup
costs while the new Clover devices enable us to provide our guests
with their preferred payment experience.”
To qualify for the contest, small businesses had to be located
in the U.S. and have under 1,500 employees. Businesses did not have
to be Clover users to apply. The winners were selected based on
factors such as their ability to effectively communicate the
uniqueness of their personal story and business, their business’
message, mission, and vision, as well as their marketability and
potential social/community impact, among other factors.
