Point-of-sale systems and technologies have greatly evolved over the last two decades. While new ordering and payment technologies have benefitted restaurant owners’ operational efficiencies, as digital payments spread so did the efforts to steal customer’s personal credit card information. The widespread increase of online ordering and digital payments during COVID-19 only exacerbated this problem, making enhanced credit card and POS security measures an absolute necessity for restaurants that process credit cards.
Aldelo Express Cloud POS offers business owners and operators full-featured customer- and merchant-facing solutions that enables them to optimally run their restaurant and bar, with multiple solutions and features that protect customers’ digital payment methods used on-premises and online.
To help restaurants reduce chargebacks and costly refund fees, Aldelo Express enables restaurants to validate a card and confirm and hold funds in advance of the final settlement with the Bar Tab Pre-Authorization feature. With token-based data encryptions, Aldelo Express protects customer credit cards as soon as they tapped, dipped, or swiped at the point-of-sale. Token-based encryptions ensure that restaurants are never in possession of customer data, securing credit cards and customer information with a unique token exclusive to the restaurant’s point-of-sale system, credit card processor, and customer’s card. Staff can still recall tabs, however, by searching the name and last four digits associated with a credit card. The Bar Tab Pre-Auth feature also allows servers to close a tab for more than the card was authorized, enabling customers to purchase as much as they would like from the restaurant.

Masa+ digital menus can support simple and complex modifiers for food and drinks, allowing customers to order items exactly how they please
In addition to the native Aldelo Express Bar Tab Pre-Authorization feature, restaurants can close the gap between traditional and digital bar tab payments with in-house QR code online ordering self-services. Rather than having bartenders hold or physically place customer credit cards in front of them at the bar, customers can simply scan a location-specific QR code, order, and pay before receiving their drinks or food from the bartender. Ordering another round is as simple as recalling the previous order.
With self-service ordering and payments, restaurants and bars can pass order input accuracy on to the customer, helping reduce chargebacks and virtually eliminating refund requests for inaccurate orders. Masa+ digital menus can support simple and complex modifiers for food and drinks, allowing customers to order items exactly how they please.
