​

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.

Aldelo Merchants Avoid Fees​ through PCI-DSS Compliance

Aldelo Merchants Avoid Fees ​through PCI-DSS Compliance

​Notice: The PCI Security Standards Council
will Officially Close the PA-DSS Program this October

3-minute read ---
​

​This October 28, 2022, the PCI Security Standards Council will officially close the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) program. For restaurant owners and credit card merchants, this means finalizing the transition from the PA-DSS program to its successor, the PCI Secure Software Standard. This will enable restaurant owners to continue adhering to PCI Security Standards Council standards in everyday business transactions.

Established by five major credit card companies, the Purchase Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) are a set of regulations for all businesses that accept credit cards and continue to be modified as payment processing and data systems evolve. While not legally enforced, adherence to PCI DSS standards is extremely widespread and can result in multiple financial penalties, up to and including denial of credit card processing for merchants who do not comply.

Protect Your Business ​through PCI DSS Compliance
Token-Based Digital Payments Reduce the PCI Scope of Standards for Aldelo Merchants

3-minute read ---
​

Digital payments are everywhere, and yet less than 28% of the merchant population achieve compliance with the latest Purchase Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). Requirements for meeting PCI DSS standards range anywhere from maintaining a secure network via firewall protections to properly managing payment transactions and sensitive cardholder information, such as through EMV-based digital payments.

By following the latest Purchase Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), restaurant owners secure electronic payment transactions made in-store and online, protecting their customers’ personal payment data, reducing chargebacks, and avoiding other financial pitfalls for their business. Because while not legally enforced, ignoring PCI DSS guidelines has significant consequences: restaurants can face multiple financial penalties up to and including denial of credit card processing, as well as put themselves and their customers at risk of digital payment fraud.

No Such Thing as “Free” POS Hardware

No Such Thing as “Free” POS Hardware
Aldelo Provides Merchants Freedom from Proprietary POS Solutions

4-minute read ---

​​Restaurant owners seeking to acquire a new point-of-sale solution tend to struggle to make confident decisions. This is because solutions and features beyond basic POS functionality are often priced separately or intertwined with varying (and confusing) credit card processing rates and fees. And if this isn’t confusing enough, many POS providers tout “free” POS hardware that is often bundled with the entire solution, making it difficult for merchants to quickly and accurately compare one POS solution to another.

Merchants purchasing a new software solution may believe they are getting a better deal up front when they choose a POS system with “free” POS hardware. But, in the long-run, they tend to pay much more than the fair market value.

​Restaurant owners that reconcile their “free” hardware with increased costs often believe they are simply amortizing the cost of the hardware over a period of time at a fair rate. However, the actual cost of “free” hardware often ends up costing the merchant much more, since they are really paying for their hardware through higher credit card rates, monthly POS payments, or feature and service fees. Eventually merchants conclude that there really is no such thing as “free” POS hardware.

Aldelo Referral Partners Stand Out in Major Metro Communities

Aldelo Referral Partners Stand Out in Major Metro Communities
with an All-Inclusive Restaurant Technology Platform

5-minute read ---
​

Major metropolitan communities are the best – and most challenging – places for restaurant owners. With dense working populations, multicultural communities, families, and schools, successful restaurants serve a loyal customer base with great food, reliable service, and fair prices. These businesses provide quick morning breakfasts, easy lunches to-go, after school snacks, and ready-to-eat dinner options available via dine-in, takeout, delivery, or pick-up to meet the needs of their customer base.

But because of the density of the population and the multitude of small businesses and restaurants, major metro communities are a challenging place for point-of-sale ​resellers to vie for new merchants. Many resellers struggle to define their value proposition in a competitive market, and they find that merchants also struggle to determine how to differentiate one POS solution from another. Providing merchants with a powerful leading-edge POS solution that is sold under a simple and transparent model eliminates confusion and complexity and allows merchants to compare one POS solution quickly and accurately to another.
