​For restaurant staff, busy summer periods mean managing multiple guests and open orders. While restaurant owners try to make the best of summertime rushes and events with promotions and discounts that draw customers into their store, businesses operating with fewer employees are also determining ways to work efficiently during busy periods.

Imagine dozens of diners eating at their favorite local restaurant on a warm Saturday night. When the dinner rush hits, servers are constantly moving between tables as they struggle to manage multiple customers, process payments, order additional items, and periodically check on guests.

Top 5 Reasons Your Food​ Truck Needs Aldelo Express

Top 5 Reasons Your Food ​Truck Needs Aldelo Express​

2-minute read ---
​

The best thing about food trucks is their mobility. Many food trucks are a brand in and of themselves, and like their favorite music groups, customers will follow food trucks from one location to the next. Some restaurants are closing brick-and-mortar spaces and moving solely to food trucks for promoting and selling their food and drinks. Conversely, other brick-and-mortar restaurants are purchasing food trucks as an extension of their business into local and neighboring communities. Perfect for farmers markets, fairs, parades, fundraisers, and other outdoor events, food trucks contribute to a vibrant and festive atmosphere that customers easily recognize and gravitate towards.

Unlike brick-and-mortar businesses who must market to the masses in order to gain new customers, food truck marketing often means going to where customers are. Some food trucks may focus solely on one community, others follow customers to events and gatherings, and still others do a bit of both to solidify their brand’s success.

From personal smartphones and computers to self-service kiosks and customer-facing displays, millions of Americans interact with multi-touch interfaces on a daily basis. Restaurant owners are realizing that POS hardware with multi-touch capabilities make it easy for employees to simplify certain functions. By working with familiar multi-touch user-interfaces, employees spend less time learning how to use POS devices and more time adjusting to business workflows and providing personalized guest experiences.

With “smart” POS gestures, POS terminals become user-friendly tools that can instantaneously launch specific features and functions with one touch rather than through multiple steps. As a result, restaurants improve overall operational efficiency and simultaneously increase staff morale with easy-to-use devices.

​For restaurants, digital reservation books and waitlists mean increased visibility of customer volume and the opportunity to proficiently manage table turn rates on any given night. Serving multiple parties per table increases a restaurant’s profit and can add up to hundreds of dollars a month. For customers, they mean shorter wait times and VIP-style dining experiences, since customers can inform a restaurant of any special requests, party information, or needs before they arrive and expect high-quality treatment as they are served. Today, table reservations and waitlists are not limited to high-end restaurants, but enable customers to easily dine with large parties and enjoy dining experiences on their schedule in nearly any kind of restaurant or bar environment.

As summer approaches and tourists return to travel, restaurants offering table reservations and waitlists provide enhanced dining experiences to more customers and easily accommodate increased crowds.

​As POS technologies continue to rapidly develop, today’s “modern” POS capabilities are continually outgrowing today’s hardware. In Q3 of 2021, Microsoft released their latest operating system, Windows 11. For many restaurant owners, this brought on the time-consuming task of determining if their Windows-based POS hardware could support the new upgrades, or if they had to make the expensive investment into new POS hardware.

However, many restaurant owners discovered an even better solution: moving to the cloud and utilizing point of sale hardware with less stringent specifications versus that of Windows-based hardware requirements, saving them thousands of dollars on costly new hardware and upgrades over the life of the system.

Beverages are a restaurant’s most profitable menu item. With virtually endless combinations of flavored syrups, sodas, spirits, juices, and toppings, the possibilities for creating enticing beverages are only limited by the imagination. Like any menu item, drink trends come and go, but these often require purchasing new and/or novelty ingredients. However, a recent social media trend provides business owners an engaging and profitable beverage solution that is easily created with ingredients in every restaurant's kitchen.

“Dirty sodas” are soda-based beverages that feature soda poured over ice with cream, flavored syrups, fruit chunks, and other non-alcoholic add-ins. The combination of bubbly soda and cream is reminiscent of ice cream floats, but is enhanced with additional item mix-ins and flavor combinations.

Aldelo Express Supports Native and Third-Party Delivery Services
Supporting Business Reach and Bottom Lines

5-minute read ---

​​Five years ago, typically only pizza places and a few full-service restaurants offered delivery of their food and drinks. Today, restaurants of all types and sizes are engaging with native and third-party delivery services to reach existing customers and expand their customer base.

Determining the best combination of native and third-party delivery platforms can be a difficult and confusing process for business owners. Do they hire additional staff to deliver items purchased through their online ordering platform, or partner with popular ordering and delivery services to increase their brand exposure?

Because each business and local market is different, there is no right or wrong answer. However, owners and operators must conduct a serious cost-benefit analysis to determine the best investment for their business. This depends on (1) what will bring the most value to the business; (2) the flexibility of the online ordering and delivery platform; (3) the cost of the program; and (4) the ease of managing the program for a single or multi-store restaurant operations.

​Running multiple restaurant locations can be a thrilling yet daunting task. To run more than one operation, owners must either delegate to additional store leaders or engage in high-level multitasking as they work to release new services or manage day-to-day changes in the operation. With multiple layers of responsibilities that come with operating multiple storefronts, multi-store restaurant owners and managers can quickly become drained from running between tasks. As a result, their own staff are likely to feel the impact, risking the readiness, efficiency, and enthusiasm of their employees, and even the satisfaction of their customers.

Multi-Store Management Solution

But there is a way for restaurant owners to find peace of mind while they manage multiple businesses. Aldelo Express Cloud POS offers a multi-store management solution built into its back-office environment. With automatic syncs and back-office access from any web-enabled device, restaurant owners experience newfound peace of mind and freedom to manage their business anytime, anywhere.
