Restaurant owners seeking to acquire a new point-of-sale solution tend to struggle to make confident decisions. This is because solutions and features beyond basic POS functionality are often priced separately or intertwined with varying (and confusing) credit card processing rates and fees. And if this isn’t confusing enough, many POS providers tout “free” POS hardware that is often bundled with the entire solution, making it difficult for merchants to quickly and accurately compare one POS solution to another.
Merchants purchasing a new software solution may believe they are getting a better deal up front when they choose a POS system with “free” POS hardware. But, in the long-run, they tend to pay much more than the fair market value.
Restaurant owners that reconcile their “free” hardware with increased costs 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. Eventually merchants conclude that there really is no such thing as “free” POS hardware.

Aldelo’s model allows restaurant owners to select from a range of off-the-shelf POS hardware options
Aldelo offers a simpler alternative by offering a complete restaurant technology solution with non-proprietary hardware and transparent pricing. Restaurant owners that move to the iPad-based POS system have multiple purchase options for acquiring system hardware. This includes purchasing items directly from vendors that will provide merchants with payment plans that include little or no interest. Merchants can also purchase hardware from Aldelo with no mark-up or from their trusted Aldelo reseller partner or local bank that provides transparent and clear financing program options.
Unlike other POS solutions, Aldelo and its reseller partners do not sell proprietary hardware or force merchants into merchant processing solutions with high rates and hidden fees to have complete access to its cloud POS restaurant technology. Aldelo’s model allows restaurant owners to select from a range of off-the-shelf POS hardware options for utilizing Aldelo Express Cloud POS and its features and modules. By purchasing hardware up front and independently from the POS solution, Aldelo Express merchants achieve the best possible pricing and flexibility when selecting their POS hardware.
