Before modern digital point-of-sale systems, owners secured their businesses with cash registers that tracked transactions and alerted staff with a bell every time the cash drawer opened. Over time, mechanical cash register technology evolved into electronic solutions. In the 1990’s, restaurants began implementing Windows-based touch screen POS terminals en masse. As POS systems evolved, restaurants expanded their services with innovative solutions such as delivery, self-service Kiosks, online ordering, and digital payments.

In 2022, owners and operators continue to use legacy point-of-sale solutions to support a range of restaurant applications. But with limited and costly upgrades for the latest software or new hardware that can support it, many owners are at a crossroad: they must maintain their dated system to extend its life, limiting its capabilities and the services to customers, or transition to a new POS solution running the latest technology. As restaurants research new options, they will find that newer systems are less costly than maintaining legacy systems.
​
For restaurants that can no longer afford or justify a legacy system, iPad-based systems provide a solution that will better suit their budget and their operation. In addition to avoiding costly upgrades, Aldelo Express iPad-based POS solutions offer restaurant owners greater reliability, features, and security, including compliance with PCI regulations not always guaranteed with older systems. Because of this and more, Aldelo Express Cloud POS can save restaurants hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the life of their system while providing restaurants and their customers with innovative and flexible services both in the store and off-premises.

Aldelo Express iPad-based POS solutions offer restaurant owners greater reliability, features, and security

​With over 20 years of experience developing Windows- and cloud-based POS solutions, Aldelo understands the benefits of maintaining a Windows-based POS solution and the proper timing of moving to a cloud-based POS solution. Aldelo employs a team of associates that offers restaurants free POS assessments and consulting services for maintaining existing Windows POS investments or validating a move to Aldelo Express Cloud POS to achieve the latest POS solutions and features, enhanced security, and scalable reporting and storage options.

Unlike legacy hardware and software upgrades that often result in file sharing and support problems, Aldelo Express’s iPad-based solutions guarantee the latest software is running on every device. Devices receive automatic updates and synchronize without involvement by the restaurant owner. By choosing an economic iPad-based system that can sustain the restaurant for years to come, owners and operators receive the greatest return on their POS investment when compared to legacy solutions.

Aldelo’s full-time team of software developers are continually introducing new features, solutions, and modules to the Aldelo Express Cloud POS solution suite, such as QR code-based digital payments and remote inventory and digital menu management. Each new feature continues Aldelo’s commitment to providing restaurant owners with customer-centric solutions, helping them grow with scalable, flexible, and reliable system upgrades. This includes supporting restaurant owners as they optimize their business with mobile handheld POS devices, native online ordering and delivery solutions, and access to valuable third-party integrations.

With a lower cost to entry and overall ownership, Aldelo Express truly offers restaurant owners a “Path to Simplicity.” Restaurants currently utilizing a traditional POS solution can easily upgrade to Aldelo Express Cloud Point-of-Sale. Restaurants that use “ultra-competitive” Aldelo Pay or Aldelo Partner Merchant Services obtain access to a centralized multi-store restaurant technology platform that supports Unlimited Software Releases, Unlimited Software Upgrades, and 24/7 Technical Support along with smart Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), Interactive Multimedia Customer Displays, Self-Service Kiosks, and Masa+ Online Ordering, and Digital Menus.

Eventually retailers moved from tokens to stamps and, decades down the line, to personal cards and online credit for airlines, retailers, coffee shops, hotels, and restaurants.
