In the last several years, technology in the restaurant and point-of-sale industries has rapidly developed, influencing many owners and operators to make the change to tablet-based cloud point-of-sale solutions. For many, transitioning to a cloud point-of-sale system is an easy choice, especially if they are already familiar with using cloud-based technology. But for many others, cloud technology is intimidating, unfamiliar, and seemingly weaker and more complicated.

​But as customers continually gravitate towards on-demand ordering and payment services, third-party delivery services, and contactless digital payments, restaurants are turning to point-of-sale solutions with powerful native and third-party integration services that help simplify operations by synchronizing in-person and remote services while promoting the restaurant through online ordering and digital menus, gift cards, and loyalty programs.

Here are the top 5 reasons why so many restaurant owners prefer cloud point-of-sale restaurant technology over Windows-based solutions.

Many businesses selling point of sale solutions will tout great value through “free” hardware. However, the true costs for “free” POS hardware are often hidden, bundled in higher costs that accumulate over the life of the system. Restaurant owners 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. As a result, eventually many merchants conclude that there really is no such thing as “free” POS hardware.

The Aldelo Express cloud POS solution, on the other hand, operates on affordable and readily available POS hardware solutions easily purchased from multiple vendors, and typically priced below $500 per device. Combined with ultra-competitive credit card processing costs, ZERO per-terminal usage fees, and all-inclusive POS solutions for qualifying merchants, Aldelo merchants easily save thousands of dollars over the life of their cloud point of sale system.
