Beginning in March 2020, contactless online ordering and off-premises dining became a lifeline for restaurants. While most restaurants in the industry needed time to implement new COVID “accommodations,” pizza restaurants were able to adapt more easily to the new market. Over-the-phone orders, online orders, takeout, curbside, and delivery have long supplied a good portion of the sector’s annual revenue, but often at an additional cost to merchants. Still, pizza sales have remained incredibly close to pre-pandemic levels, facing only a 0.22% total loss from 2019 to 2020, versus the 24% loss to the restaurant industry overall. *
As customers return to restaurants and sales gradually improve, Aldelo Express Cloud POS offers owners and operators a powerful restaurant technology platform with a full-featured point-of-sale and robust pizza module.

Aldelo Express Cloud POS pizza module supports native delivery, takeout, pickup, curbside, and dine-in services
With the Aldelo Express Cloud POS Pizza Module, in addition to in-house features restaurant owners enable a variety of features supported across all POS devices and service capabilities such as takeout, curbside, delivery. The Aldelo Express built-in delivery module offers a unique caller-ID feature, pulling up customer profiles associated with the incoming phone number so staff can easily review past order history and related notes. The delivery module provides digital mapping and enables order dispatching for single and multi-driver operations. Drivers are tracked by the orders they deliver and money they “drop” between deliveries, helping owners monitor delivery cash flow and prevent drivers from carrying an unnecessary amount of cash on their runs.
The Aldelo Express Pizza Module supports up to ten pizza sizes, including slices, and an unlimited number of crust types to include flatbreads or dietary-specific options. Customers select from an unlimited number of regular and premium topping choices, provided with customized item pricing to suit a restaurant’s business needs. Aldelo Express POS for pizza enables topping orders on whole, halves, and even thirds of a pizza, providing customers flexible pizza combinations.
With coupons being an important marketing tool for pizza restaurants, the Aldelo Express multi-store coupon program manages an unlimited number of coupons. Because coupons are treated as cash, each coupon issued is protected via a multi-level security process to prevent misuse. The Aldelo Express cloud-based back-office provides operators with real-time visibility of coupon balancing reports that show the number of coupons and dollar values redeemed at specific time intervals, helping restaurants determine the best coupon strategies for their business.
The Aldelo Express pizza module is highly customizable, including prices, modifiers, crust types, and toppings
The platform supports Masa+ Online Ordering and Payments, a customer-facing online ordering solution offering on-demand mobile order and payment capabilities in-store or off-premises. Restaurants offer the same pizza module online, enabling customers to build their own pizzas and pre-pay in-advance in-store or remotely via any web-browser.
In addition to the Masa+ Online Ordering solution, the cloud-based platform supports additional apps: Smart Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), Self-Service Kiosks, Interactive Multimedia Customer Displays, Mobile Handheld POS, Reservations and Waitlist, and Multi-Store Gift Cards, Coupons, Loyalty, and Rewards Programs.
