Two of the most fundamental threats to a restaurant’s business are power and internet outages. In service disruptions brought on by hurricanes, storms, wildfires, heatwaves, and other natural threats, restaurants reliant on an internet and electrical connection can lose business for days or weeks at a time, or as long as it takes for local infrastructure to be up and running again.
Fortunately, by taking proper preventative measures, restaurant owners and operators that choose Aldelo Express Cloud Point-of-Sale for their business can continue running a complete food service operation in the midst of seemingly crippling circumstances.

Power Outages
Power outages can be catastrophic for restaurants. A loss of power means restaurants are unable to prepare food and cannot accept orders or payments with their digital system. Because of this, restaurants are forced to close their doors until power services are restored to an uninterrupted level. The best way to prevent power loss in a restaurant is by installing an individual uninterrupted power supply (UPS) that feeds power to the store’s Wi-Fi router, point-of-sale terminals, and network printers. This enables restaurant staff to continue operating their Aldelo Express Point-of-Sale system in the event of power outages caused by hurricanes, thunder/lightning storms, heat waves, or provider malfunctions. At a minimum, a business is able to properly close checks and process transactions for conducting an orderly close of the restaurant until power can be restored. When businesses use a solar-powered UPS, the point-of-sale system can operate independently and for longer periods of time, without relying on a traditional power source. Additionally, UPS protection provides power during temporary power drops (“brownouts”), resulting in seamless power to the point-of-sale. Even better, restaurants using tablet-based point-of-sale systems such as Aldelo Express utilize devices that maintain their own power supply for several hours and use very little power. Internet Outages
Operators must be prepared for their business to lose internet connection due to situations beyond its control, such as when internet service providers (ISPs) experience service outages, delays, or technical difficulties. In these scenarios, Aldelo Express users still maintain their restaurant operation by switching the point-of-sale to run via cellular data hotspots or using a router with built-in cellular redundancy. These solutions provide internet service to both front- and back-of-house systems and allow staff to continue operations as usual. Yet, even businesses that use Aldelo Express without setting up an alternative internet source can close out existing customer checks when their main internet connection is down. With the Aldelo Express “offline mode,” Aldelo Express users continue to process orders offline via point-of-sale iPads, printers, kitchen display systems, customer-facing displays, and cash drawers until their internet is re-enabled. In short, operators run the full capabilities of Aldelo Express until the point-of-sale system is “back online.” |
