Restaurants today aren’t confined to a single counter. Service happens at tables, on patios, at curbside, inside stadium suites, and everywhere in between. That’s why new Aldelo Tablets and Aldelo Mobile Handheld POS devices are designed to bring full point-of-sale functionality directly to your staff, with fast visual ordering and seamless EMV payments built into lightweight and durable devices.

New Aldelo Tablet and Aldelo Mobile Handheld POS devices offer restaurants lightweight, durable and powerful point-of-sale and payment terminals for in-store or roaming transactions.

Do More with Less Hardware and Less Waiting
Aldelo Tablets are ideal for restaurants, bars, food trucks, and more that want to expand their number of ordering stations without crowding order counters with EMV devices or stretching their budget. Staff can confidently enter orders and accept cards or digital payments from a single, all-in-one POS terminal. Built-in EMV devices also eliminate maintenance of external hardware and connectivity, including cables, ports, and cases.

Instead of running back and forth between tables and a stationary terminal, servers can take orders, modify items, send tickets to the kitchen, and process payments from an Aldelo Tablet or Aldelo Mobile POS device. The result is faster service, improved order accuracy, and a better overall dining experience.

​Running a pizza restaurant is fast-paced, competitive, and margin-sensitive. To thrive, pizzerias need a point of sale (POS) system that’s fast, intuitive, and built for pizza-specific workflows. Aldelo Express delivers a powerful pizza POS solution that helps operators manage orders, increase ticket speed, reduce errors, and grow profits, from single stores to multi-unit brands.

Why Pizza Restaurants Need a Specialized POS
Unlike some restaurants, pizzerias simultaneously juggle:

• complex pizza modifiers
• whole, half-and-half, or thirds toppings
• multiple sauce and crust options
• delivery, takeout, and dine-in orders
• call-in and online ordering
• driver dispatch and tracking

Basic order taking POS systems struggle with these workflows. Pizza POS systems must simplify pizza pricing logic, custom modifier flows, order routing, and reporting, and that’s where Aldelo Express excels.

In many restaurants, tip entry happens at the very end of the night when staff are tired, managers are rushing, and small mistakes quietly slip through. While handwritten tips on guest checks may seem harmless, manually entering them into a POS system can create hidden costs that impact payroll accuracy, staff trust, and end-of-day efficiency.

February and other slower months are ideal times for restaurant operators to take a closer look at processes that drain time and morale. One of the most overlooked? Manual tip entry during hurried check closeouts.
