Stable power and internet service is crucial for running a food service operation. But what happens when connectivity falters due to severe weather, power brownouts, or service outages? With proper preparedness measures, restaurants can rely on Aldelo Express during power and internet outages to continue serving customers and processing orders until power and internet services are restored in their area.
Support During Internet Outages
One way Aldelo Express supports restaurants during an internet outage is by supporting cash-based transactions until connectivity is restored. Once internet connectivity is restored, Aldelo Express will automatically synchronize all cash transactions with the cloud-based back office, eliminating the need for manual intervention and ensuring sales data remains accurate and up-to-date.
However, merchants can also prepare their restaurant before an internet outage occurs with cellular data hotspots or routers with built-in cellular redundancy. With either one of these backup internet solutions, operators can continue using Aldelo Express to take orders, process payments, and serve customers even when traditional internet services unexpectedly become unavailable. This is particularly valuable for restaurants, bars, and food trucks that operate in areas with unstable internet connections or experience unexpected power outages due to storms, flooding, or wildfires in their community.

Despite internet outages, restaurants can continue:
With ready-to-go internet from cellular data and routers with built-in cellular redundancy, restaurants can preserve their operations, customer experience, and revenue streams regardless of internet outages in their area.
- Taking Orders: Enter and process orders without disruption. This includes processing Masa+ Online Orders for customers using their own cellular data services.
- Processing Digital Payments: Accept credit cards, Masa+ Gift Cards, Loyalty Rewards, and more as usual, relying on powerful and seamless Aldelo Express and Masa+ digital payment security.
- Print Receipts and Communicate Orders: Maintain communication between the front and back of house with traditional kitchen printers and Aldelo Express Kitchen Display Systems (KDS).

Preparing back-up power and internet supplies with an Aldelo Express Point of Sale system is a crucial safety net
Power Supplies During Brownouts and Blackouts
The best way to avoid power loss in a restaurant, bar, or food truck is by installing an individual uninterrupted power supply (UPS). A UPS will provide power to the store’s Wi-Fi router, point-of-sale terminals, and network printers, allowing staff to close out open checks and manage their store until power can be restored.
But an even better solution for restaurants that experience regular power brownouts and blackouts is using a UPS alongside a pre-installed back-up internet source, allowing business to continue operating as usual.
Enhanced Flexibility and Reliability
Back up power and internet capabilities underscore Aldelo Express’s commitment to providing restaurants with reliable and flexible point-of-sale solutions. Whether it’s a planned outage or an unforeseen event, restaurant owners can operate with confidence, knowing their business is always equipped to adapt to changing circumstances.
