From personal smartphones and computers to self-service kiosks and customer-facing displays, millions of Americans interact with multi-touch interfaces on a daily basis. Restaurant owners are realizing that POS hardware with multi-touch capabilities make it easy for employees to simplify certain functions. By working with familiar multi-touch user-interfaces, employees spend less time learning how to use POS devices and more time adjusting to business workflows and providing personalized guest experiences.
With “smart” POS gestures, POS terminals become user-friendly tools that can instantaneously launch specific features and functions with one touch rather than through multiple steps. As a result, restaurants improve overall operational efficiency and simultaneously increase staff morale with easy-to-use devices.
Touchscreen “gestures” involve using one or multiple fingers to move around a smart device through both swiping and tapping specific locations on the screen.

Aldelo merchants save thousands of dollars over the life of the system by avoiding costs associated with maintenance, repairs, and replacements of legacy and proprietary hardware solutions. Every Aldelo Express tablet offers intuitive user-interfaces and familiar gesturing controls for navigating staff terminals with one- and two-finger taps and swipes.
Not only does POS gesturing save employees time during everyday processes, it allows more space on terminal displays for additional items, modifiers, and order details, and unlocks features not available with traditional POS buttons.

This year, Father’s Day is on June 19th. Each year, businesses compete to be the go-to restaurant for a Father’s Day meal or dessert. For new or independent businesses, this often makes it difficult for their promotions to stand out from the crowd. But with extended or week-long Father’s Day campaigns, local restaurants improve customer traffic and earn additional revenue while increasing brand exposure to the community. |
Provide VIP Guest Experiences
with Aldelo Express Digital Reservation and Waitlist Modules 3-minute read ---
For restaurants, digital reservation books and waitlists mean increased visibility of customer volume and the opportunity to proficiently manage table turn rates on any given night. Serving multiple parties per table increases a restaurant’s profit and can add up to hundreds of dollars a month. For customers, they mean shorter wait times and VIP-style dining experiences, since customers can inform a restaurant of any special requests, party information, or needs before they arrive and expect high-quality treatment as they are served. |
