Catering to the Health-Conscious:
Why Offering Healthier Menu Options is a
Smart Business Move for Restaurants
3-minute read ---
As consumers become more educated about nutrition and wellness, their dining preferences are shifting towards healthier, more nutritious options. Restaurant owners who embrace this change not only cater to current demand but also prepare their business for long-term success. Here’s why offering healthier menu options is a smart business move for restaurants and how it can benefit your bottom line.
Why Make a Change? Rising Consumer Demand
The demand for health-conscious food and drink options has continued to grow in recent years. Now, health-conscious customers are not content to make their own food at home. They are looking for a restaurant that supports their health and lifestyle, and are willing to go the extra mile (often literally) for these businesses. These can be customers with food allergies, or those choosing to reduce sugar intake, seek out plant-based proteins, or avoid foods that contain artificial additives or food coloring.
Popular diets like vegetarian, gluten-free, keto, and paleo also represent a significant shift in how people view food and nutrition. By staying ahead of these trends, restaurants can ensure that their menu remains relevant and appealing, and stay ahead of their competition. But it doesn’t have to be hard. Sometimes, simply offering a few health-conscious options such as smoothie bowls, grain salads, and lean protein dishes can cater to these diets and show that your restaurant is in tune with modern customers' dietary preferences.
Here’s what else healthier menus can do for your business:

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.

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. |

New Laws Affecting Restaurants Will Eliminate Surprise "Junk Fees" On Customer Receipts
Aldelo Express Offers Multiple Solutions to Ease the Blow of
Changing State and/or Federal Requirements
4-minute read --- In a weighty move aimed at enhancing consumer transparency and competitive fairness, states such as Minnesota and Illinois are considering or have passed new laws that will prevent surprise "junk fees" in all businesses, including restaurants. For now, this type of regulation is happening on the state level, but such a change may take effect on a national level in the next few years, since a “junk fee” ban was proposed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in October 2023. However, other states such as California are exempting restaurants from their state-wide “junk fee” ban, and only requiring restaurants to clearly post additional fees on their restaurant menus. |
In order to remain compliant and avoid potentially large fines and/or penalties, business owners and operators are encouraged to reference local news sources and government websites to stay abreast of changing state and federal laws.
