​Restaurants are an integral part of any society’s social fabric. They serve as a meeting point for people to gather, share a meal, and socialize. Despite their importance, many restaurants fail to thrive and eventually go out of business. In fact, the restaurant industry is notoriously hard to navigate, and statistics show that roughly 60% of new restaurants fail within the first year of operation. The reasons for failure vary, but there are some common threads that run through most restaurant failures. In this blog post, we’ll examine some of the most common reasons why restaurants fail or go out of business, and how Aldelo Express Cloud Point-of-Sale (POS) helps operators succeed.
​
Weak Selling Proposition
Restaurants that fail to distinguish themselves from their competitors are likely to struggle. A restaurant’s unique selling proposition (USP) is what sets it apart from other restaurants in the area. A restaurant’s USP can be its menu, its ambiance, or its service. Without a clear USP, a restaurant may struggle to attract customers and generate revenue.

Merchants that use Masa+ customize a unique online storefront to fit the “look and feel” of their restaurant brand. This includes vibrant images of the dining environment, food, drinks, and the restaurant logo.
