Providing customer-centric solutions means ensuring merchant interests are protected. Aldelo Express secures all electronic payment transactions made in-store or online. Restaurants today that process physical or digital credit cards ought to protect their customers’ data by aligning their services with the most recent Purchase Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI/DSS). Requirements for meeting these standards range anywhere from maintaining a secure network via firewall protections for properly managing payment transactions and sensitive cardholder information.
Established by five major credit card companies, the Purchase Card Industry Data Security Standards are a set of regulations for all businesses that accept credit cards and continue to be modified as payment processing and data systems evolve. While not legally enforced, adherence to PCI DSS standards is extremely widespread and can result in multiple financial penalties, up to and including denial of credit card processing for merchants who do not comply.
Aldelo assists restaurants in meeting PCI DSS standards by providing token-based payments for all credit card-based transactions. Leading tokenization technology provides a heightened level of security that reduces the PCI DSS scope of standards required for business owners, including Aldelo merchants.
Aldelo Pay’s merchant processing makes token-based payments accessible to restaurants of all sizes. Merchants who choose to process payment through Aldelo Pay receive access to the Aldelo Express Cloud restaurant technology platform, including Masa+ Online Ordering, Payments, Gift, and Loyalty.
Aldelo Pay token-based payments protect merchants and personal customer data by immediately encrypting personal credit card data as soon as a customer’s card is tapped, dipped, or swiped. This applies to all transactions completed via Aldelo Express Cloud POS terminals as well as Masa+ Online Ordering and Payments. Each customer’s personal card data is secured by a unique “token” exclusive to the restaurant’s Aldelo Express Cloud POS system, credit card processor, and customer’s card. Customer credit card info is never stored or saved by the restaurant or within its POS systems.

This level of localization and security also renders the “token” useless outside of those directly involved in managing the payment transaction, providing advanced credit card security for all parties involved.
With token-based credit card payments, restaurants enjoy greater flexibility utilizing stationary and mobile devices within the store or remotely, as all orders and transactions are accessible from any device. They require no additional setup, and never risk loss of security or POS system speed.
Secure credit card tokenization enables staff to pre-authorize credit cards and confirm funds before opening a ticket in bar, event, and dining room settings. Restaurant staff manually enter a given dollar amount against a credit card to confirm available funds in the cardholder’s account before they begin serving customers with confidence.
Tokenization keeps credit cards secure and “active,” enabling wait staff to make multiple real-time changes to a customer’s ticket after an order is closed. In situations where a charge has been missed, a refund needs to be applied, or a tip needs to be adjusted, staff can easily recall and reopen an order on any Aldelo Express terminal to make an adjustment.
Tokenization for Aldelo merchants guarantees secure digital payments that significantly enhance point-of-sale capabilities for easily managing transactions.
