​

In the fast-paced world of restaurants, improving table turns is essential for maximizing revenue while enhancing customer satisfaction. One of the most effective tools for achieving this is the introduction of self-order kiosks, which improve table turns in both indoor and outdoor dining areas. These kiosks not only streamline the ordering process but also improve operational efficiency, making them an invaluable asset to modern restaurants.

What Are Kiosks and How Do They Work?
Self-order kiosks are interactive digital devices placed in strategic areas of the restaurant, allowing customers to browse image-based menus, place their orders, and even make payments without needing to wait for a server. Aldelo Express Kiosks are supported on non-proprietary tablets, and offer a user-friendly interface for an intuitive and familiar customer experience. Once the order is placed, it is sent directly to the kitchen, reducing the need for manual order entry, minimizing errors, and seamlessly organizing kiosk orders into digital Kitchen Display Systems (KDS) and kitchen printers alongside orders placed by staff and even customers online.

With rising wages, labor costs, and ongoing staffing challenges, restaurants are looking for ways to optimize operations without compromising service quality.

Aldelo Express provides a suite of self-service solutions that help restaurants make the most of their teams, allowing staff to focus on hospitality, food quality, and efficiency while technology handles routine tasks. Here’s how:

​1. Aldelo Express Kiosks Free Up Staff for Customer Engagement
Aldelo Express Kiosks, powered by iPad tablets, allow customers to place and customize their own orders at the counter. Instead of taking orders manually, staff can shift their attention to greeting guests, answering questions, and expediting food preparation. This improves efficiency while creating a more welcoming experience for customers.

Efficiency Unleashed: Advantages of
​Aldelo Express Image-Based Kiosks

3-minute read ---
​

The integration of technology in the restaurant industry is crucial for staying competitive. Among these advancements, image-based kiosks have emerged as a significant driver of increased sales by transforming how customers interact with menus, place orders, and enjoy their dining experiences.
​

Enhanced Customer Experience
Image-based kiosks significantly enhance the customer experience by offering a visually appealing and user-friendly interface. Instead of navigating through text-heavy menus, customers can easily view high-quality images of each dish. This visual “sample” helps promote a more enjoyable ordering process. Plus, when customers can see what their meal looks like, it helps set clear expectations and can increase their appetite, leading to larger orders.

​Increased Order Accuracy
One of the major pain points in traditional ordering systems is the miscommunication between customers and staff, especially in noisy or fast-paced environments, which often results in incorrect orders, dissatisfaction, and wasted food. Image-based kiosks mitigate this issue by allowing customers to select their desired items directly. This reduces communication errors and helps ensure that orders are accurate. Satisfied customers who receive exactly what they ordered are more likely to return and recommend the restaurant to others, thus boosting sales through repeat business and word-of-mouth marketing.
