Labor is the most controllable expense a restaurant has, but lack of control managing daily time cards can be detrimental to a restaurant’s bottom line. With Aldelo Express POS, restaurant owners control daily labor schedules and prevent employees from “riding the clock” by managing the clock-in and clock-out processes with digital time cards.

With the Aldelo Express Digital Time Card Module, managers can restrict employee clock-in and clock-out periods and require manager approval if an employee misses a specific clock-in or clock-out “grace period.” Merchants can also prevent staff from clocking-in for fellow workers if they are running late, eliminating “buddy punching.”

In 2023, trade shows across all industries are climbing back to pre-COVID pandemic levels, providing point of sale resellers valuable opportunities for growing their customer base. Though digitally-driven communication and sales has accelerated in the industry, attending in-person trade shows offers Aldelo resellers a unique and effective way to build new and existing customer relationships.

Here are the top three reasons POS resellers should attend a trade show in 2023:

3. Find New Customer Leads

Digital networking will never be as impactful as in-person introductions, conversations, and follow-ups with potential customers. Millions of people attend restaurant and hospitality trade shows each year. A great way to target customers in a specific region or city is by attending a location-specific industry trade show. The restaurant community is tight knit and communicates within an intricate network, so increase your business’s exposure to regional customers by attending an in-person trade show!

​Representing the Aldelo Express Cloud POS platform means protecting your business from third-party competitors that want to “poach” your customers with shiny new toys, low payment processing fees (made up in monthly POS software fees) or seemingly “free POS hardware” (guess what, there really is no such thing as “free POS hardware”).

Aldelo resellers, on the other hand, form long-term relationships with merchants and earn lifetime POS residuals by providing their customers with innovative modern POS solutions offered through an unparalleled total cost of ownership with Aldelo Pay merchant processing.

​By offering Aldelo Pay and approved Aldelo Partner merchant services, Aldelo resellers provide customers the entire Aldelo Express Tier-1 POS platform and its native suite of POS modules for only the cost of their processing services, building lasting customer relationships built on value, transparency, and trust.

1. Know Your Market

Getting to know customers in your area is essential to running a successful point-of-sale business. In addition to the restaurant owner’s name and contact information, some questions to ask include:

• What is your current POS system? (ECR, Cloud, or Windows-based?)
• Do you have a lease? How long is left in your lease term?

Maintaining a close relationship with restaurant owners in your market not only keeps your business top of mind when they decide to explore new POS solutions, but helps you better understand what features customers are looking for and areas of their operation they are looking to improve. Aldelo assists resellers with providing prospective merchants with a compelling TCO (total cost of ownership) and ROI (return on investment) analysis utilizing the restaurant's actual data.

Unlike many point-of-sale developers, Aldelo Express POS software is supported by multiple non-proprietary hardware devices, including iPads, Android Terminals, and Android Tablets. With full-featured POS solutions available across inter-operable iOS and Android-based devices, Aldelo Express provides resellers and merchants “freedom of choice” POS hardware options.

However, resellers and merchants should only purchase tested POS hardware from reputable vendors. By avoiding questionable vendors and auction sites, users protect their business from potential security and performance risks associated with POS hardware that was not purchased directly from the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller. As a result, POS resellers and merchants support a stronger, more secure, and more reliable hardware system.
