For decades, legacy point-of-sale (POS) systems have been the backbone of restaurant operations. These traditional systems offered reliable transaction processing and reporting, but as technology advances, their limitations become more apparent. Cloud-based POS solutions like Aldelo Express are redefining how modern restaurants operate, providing efficiency, flexibility, and scalability that legacy systems can’t match.
