As POS technologies continue to rapidly develop, today’s “modern” POS capabilities are continually outgrowing today’s hardware. In Q3 of 2021, Microsoft released their latest operating system, Windows 11. For many restaurant owners, this brought on the time-consuming task of determining if their Windows-based POS hardware could support the new upgrades, or if they had to make the expensive investment into new POS hardware.
However, many restaurant owners discovered an even better solution: moving to the cloud and utilizing point of sale hardware with less stringent specifications versus that of Windows-based hardware requirements, saving them thousands of dollars on costly new hardware and upgrades over the life of the system.
In short, legacy and proprietary hardware locks merchants into solutions with no flexibility to utilize their hardware investment with any other solution.

Restaurant owners using Aldelo Express Cloud POS enjoy the freedom of non-proprietary hardware and access to a complete restaurant technology platform
Just as many Windows-based restaurants are discovering freedom by moving away from proprietary hardware, more and more restaurant owners are learning that the best investment for their restaurant is a non-proprietary tablet-based POS system that scales with the needs of their business.
In addition to having access to one of the best cloud-based POS software solutions on the market, restaurant owners using Aldelo Express Cloud POS enjoy the freedom of non-proprietary hardware and access to a complete restaurant technology platform, including a full suite of merchant- and customer-facing solutions.
1. Flexible Uses and Solutions
Aldelo Express operates on non-proprietary mobile tablets, specifically, iPad devices running the latest operating system. This means iPad tablets can act as traditional point of sale terminals as well as mobile ordering devices, customer-facing self-service kiosks, tableside ordering stations, hostess/reservation staff terminals, and even kitchen display system (KDS) screens – all with a quick and easy installation from Aldelo’s app marketplace.
2. Same Great Security
POS system security is a big reason why restaurant owners may work with proprietary hardware. However, Aldelo Express offers multi-level security features on every POS device that keep device security in the hands of owners, operators, and select employees or shift managers. This includes the ability to “lock” a tablet device that prevents employees from exiting the POS app. So while Aldelo Express POS tablets can be used for multiple functions by switching between apps at any time, these permissions are only granted to designated employees to prevent misuse.
3. More Mobility & Freedom
Non-proprietary, tablet-based hardware also allows more mobility and flexibility for merchants, as literally any tablet with the latest iPad operating system can support Aldelo Express’ software solutions. This means that merchants have the freedom to purchase new and/or gently used tablet devices to freely customize their restaurant’s POS ecosystem.
At their end-of-life, POS tablets can be repurposed for other uses in the environment, including for personal use.
4. Affordable Pricing
Non-proprietary device freedom means restaurant owners have greater financial freedom, since they can purchase and immediately begin using off-the-shelf devices. This includes new and used devices. Aldelo merchants are never forced to purchase unnecessary hardware or POS bundles, but only purchase what they need to optimize their restaurant(s).
Better yet, merchants that utilize iPads can acquire these at a local store and select from monthly payment plan options with little or no interest applied.
5. Online Ordering Included
To top it all off, Aldelo Express Cloud POS also includes seamlessly integrated “device-agnostic” online ordering solutions for its customers. Customers that wish to view menus, place orders, or complete payments through native Masa+ digital ordering and payments simply scan a QR code or visit the restaurant’s online store in any web browser, from any web-enabled device. Customers never have to download an app to their smartphone, computer, or tablet, making it easy for them to access Masa+ anytime, anywhere.

For many business owners, switching to a new point of sale system is an expensive, but necessary, investment.

Themed charity events are a very successful method of fundraising for community and non-profit organizations. In-person fundraisers allow organizations to promote their cause in-person, directly engage with benefactors, and increase donations with entertainment, great food, and drinks. This provides the perfect opportunity for local restaurants and caterers to “put their best food forward” and expose their menus to the broader community. |
