Enhancing Fine Dining Restaurant Operations |
Financial Loss Buddy punching is a common issue in many workplaces, including restaurants. This practice occurs when one employee clocks in or out on behalf of another, leading to inaccurate labor tracking and inflated payroll costs. Over time, buddy punching can result in significant financial losses for businesses, as they end up paying for hours that were never actually worked. Low Morale and High Turnover Additionally, buddy punching can create an unfair work environment, where honest employees take on work left to them by tardy peers. To these staff members, not managing time cards or employees well can quickly be perceived as a failure in business management, which discourages honest staff from continuing to work for the restaurant. High turnover caused by low morale can be detrimental to a restaurant in an already challenging labor market. |

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.

How Aldelo Express Helps Operators Succeed
2-minute read ---
Restaurants are an integral part of any society’s social fabric. They serve as a meeting point for people to gather, share a meal, and socialize. Despite their importance, many restaurants fail to thrive and eventually go out of business. In fact, the restaurant industry is notoriously hard to navigate, and statistics show that roughly 60% of new restaurants fail within the first year of operation. The reasons for failure vary, but there are some common threads that run through most restaurant failures. In this blog post, we’ll examine some of the most common reasons why restaurants fail or go out of business, and how Aldelo Express Cloud Point-of-Sale (POS) helps operators succeed.
Weak Selling Proposition
Restaurants that fail to distinguish themselves from their competitors are likely to struggle. A restaurant’s unique selling proposition (USP) is what sets it apart from other restaurants in the area. A restaurant’s USP can be its menu, its ambiance, or its service. Without a clear USP, a restaurant may struggle to attract customers and generate revenue.
Merchants that use Masa+ customize a unique online storefront to fit the “look and feel” of their restaurant brand. This includes vibrant images of the dining environment, food, drinks, and the restaurant logo.
Restaurants are an integral part of any society’s social fabric. They serve as a meeting point for people to gather, share a meal, and socialize. Despite their importance, many restaurants fail to thrive and eventually go out of business. In fact, the restaurant industry is notoriously hard to navigate, and statistics show that roughly 60% of new restaurants fail within the first year of operation. The reasons for failure vary, but there are some common threads that run through most restaurant failures. In this blog post, we’ll examine some of the most common reasons why restaurants fail or go out of business, and how Aldelo Express Cloud Point-of-Sale (POS) helps operators succeed.
Weak Selling Proposition
Restaurants that fail to distinguish themselves from their competitors are likely to struggle. A restaurant’s unique selling proposition (USP) is what sets it apart from other restaurants in the area. A restaurant’s USP can be its menu, its ambiance, or its service. Without a clear USP, a restaurant may struggle to attract customers and generate revenue.
