A pop-up restaurant is a temporary dining establishment that operates for a limited time in a temporary location. As the busy summer season approaches, many brick-and-mortar restaurants are using pop-up restaurants to extend their restaurant services into their local community at events such as fairs, street fests, sporting events, and farmers markets. Pop-up restaurants are becoming increasingly popular as they allow chefs to experiment with new menu items and concepts, and they offer customers a unique dining experience in non-traditional environments. However, running a pop-up and temporary bar operation can be challenging, especially when it comes to managing orders, inventory, and payments. That's where Aldelo Express comes in – a powerful point-of-sale (POS) system that can benefit pop-up restaurant locations in several ways.

From early adoption of point of sale touch screens, QR code-based system linking and setup, and facial AI recognition-based security, Aldelo has long served everyday business owners with innovative technology solutions for their food service operation. Today, Aldelo continues to lead the restaurant point of sale industry by incorporating AI-based technology into the Aldelo Express Cloud POS back-office environment.

The newly released Aldelo Express AI-Based Menu Item Completion feature speeds up the menu creation process for food service operators. As artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to be developed, the new Aldelo Express AI-Based Menu Item Completion feature is one of the first uses of AI technology made specifically available to benefit everyday restaurant owners.

How it Works

Much like a search engine auto-complete function, instead of manually typing the full name of every menu item during the menu creation process, the Aldelo Express AI-Based Menu Item Completion feature uses AI technology to detect the word being typed and present several menu item naming options for operators to choose from.

​This means that operators spend less time building and editing their restaurant’s menu and more time focusing on the day-to-day needs of their operation.
