Restaurant, food truck, and bar owners need reliable tools that enable efficient operations without stretching their budgets. One such tool is Aldelo Express POS, a cloud-based point-of-sale system designed to streamline daily tasks, improve customer experiences, and enhance business performance. One of the most significant advantages of Aldelo Express POS is its flexibility—it allows businesses to use readily available and affordable non-proprietary hardware that can save their operation from loss of time, money, and disruptions to their operation.

Cost-Effective Hardware Solutions
For many small to medium-sized restaurants and food service operations, investing in proprietary hardware can be a financial burden. Proprietary systems often come with high upfront costs and limited hardware options, locking businesses into specific hardware providers and repair services. In contrast, Aldelo Express POS can be installed on non-proprietary hardware such as iPads or Android tablets, giving restaurant owners the freedom to choose readily available and affordable devices that meet their needs.

This hardware flexibility lowers the barrier to entry for smaller establishments, allowing them to invest in a robust POS system without the heavy financial strain. Instead of being forced to buy expensive proprietary terminals, businesses can use widely available hardware that suits their budget.

Two of the most fundamental threats to a restaurant’s business are power and internet outages.

​Fortunately, by taking proper preventative measures, restaurant owners and operators that choose Aldelo Express Cloud Point-of-Sale for their business can continue running a complete food service operation in the midst of seemingly crippling circumstances.

A restaurant is not just about the food, service, or ambiance—it's a delicate symphony of all these elements, including the rhythm of seating.

​Here are a few ways that mastering table turns can have a profound impact on a restaurant’s bottom line:

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.

​Aldelo Express POS is a cloud-based restaurant technology platform built with modern restaurants in mind. In over 20 years developing restaurant technology solutions fit for any operation, the company’s mission has remained the same: to provide restaurants with unparalleled access to the most economic and ​state-of-the-art cloud POS platform.

Unlike many point-of-sale developers, Aldelo Express POS software is supported by multiple non-proprietary POS hardware devices, including iPads 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.

​Utilizing non-proprietary POS hardware means merchants can add or subtract POS devices at any time, enabling merchants to bring a personal iPad or Android Tablet from home when they need an additional order-taking station in their restaurant. The result is enjoying greater system flexibility during busy periods and when processing orders in non-traditional environments, such as 19th-hole and pop-up operations.

The coming holiday season means restaurant owners will soon enjoy an influx of customers, catering requests, online orders, and gift card purchases. Many businesses, including restaurants, will also hire “seasonal” employees to accommodate this annual business surge that provides them additional revenue that benefits them throughout the new year.

However, increased traffic and cash flow for the business also means increased risk of theft. Without reliable security features, back-office oversight, secure digital payment methods, and consistent till balancing, restaurants risk losing thousands of dollars over the course of just a few months.

​In addition to providing full-featured cloud point-of-sale technology solutions, Aldelo Express POS offers business owners multiple ways to secure their business and customer services. This includes security features built into the customer-facing Masa+ Online Ordering and Digital Payments platform, as well as multi-level security functions native to Aldelo Express iPad and Android Tablet staff-facing POS terminals.

Tablet-based POS terminals offer a small footprint while streamlining everyday restaurant operations by synchronizing in-person and remote services, as well as reducing the time it takes to train restaurant staff to use the restaurant software.
