Five years ago, only quick service establishments and a few sit-down restaurants offered takeout, curbside pick-up, and delivery services. In 2022, restaurants of all types and sizes continue to offer off-premises dining services to their customers to navigate a contactless dining market and low employee retention rates. Many offer these services through third-party developers, but these often come at a significant cost to both the restaurant and its customers, with hosting costs and multiple fees added for every transaction. Restaurants with native delivery modules built into their point-of-sale, however, eliminate costly third-party fees and immediately increase their revenue for delivery orders.
Aldelo Express Cloud POS offers restaurants, pop-ups, food trucks, bars, and pizza places with a cost-effective in-house delivery module that benefits their customers and their bottom line. It supports native delivery drivers, and offers caller-ID, surcharges, digital mapping, and more to streamline in-house delivery operations. In the Aldelo Express cloud back-office, owners and operators can easily customize their delivery order menus and menu item pricing.
The Aldelo Express delivery module caller-ID feature pulls up customer profiles associated with the incoming phone number, streamlining phone orders as staff easily review past order history and related notes. Staff monitoring delivery orders can recall and reorder items from the customer’s history.
Once a delivery order has been received, restaurants use digital mapping and order dispatching for single and multi-driver operations, assigning their own staff to serve their customers off-site. With customizable delivery zones determined by distance and zip codes, owners can limit their delivery area or set up surcharges that automatically apply to orders outside of the delivery radius, alerting staff members and requesting confirmation to continue and complete the transaction.

Customers can pay for delivery orders using their Masa+ Secure Wallet that stores personal credit cards, Gift Cards, Coupons, Loyalty, and Rewards
Owners track delivery drivers by the orders they deliver and money “dropped” between deliveries, helping monitor delivery cash flow and prevent drivers from carrying an unnecessary amount of cash on their runs.
Combined with mobile handheld POS devices, restaurants can process delivery transactions at the customer’s door. Restaurants can also accept delivery orders and payments through their Masa+ online storefront, with customers paying via their Masa+ Secure Wallet that stores personal credit cards, Gift Cards, Coupons, and Loyalty and Rewards. Customers track payments, order status, and payment redemption histories from Masa+ in real-time, providing visibility of order purchase and payment redemption histories.
For more than 20 years restaurants have relied on Aldelo’s point-of-sale technology and solutions to operate their business. Aldelo Express merchants deploy a mix of iOS and Android-based devices to customize their restaurant environment, executing in-house and off-premises operations with seamless device interoperability. Every Aldelo Express POS device supports the same full-featured software, including multi-level security, reporting, and cloud-based back-office management that provides restaurant owners with complete control and access to the business, wherever they are.
The Aldelo Express Cloud POS restaurant technology platform and Masa+ suite of customer-facing solutions reflect the company’s rich POS lineage that has relied on merchant-centric feedback and a clear understanding of the changing needs of the industry and consumers.

Enable Flexible In-Store and Online Pizza and Delivery Modules

Beginning in March 2020, contactless online ordering and off-premises dining became a lifeline for restaurants. While most restaurants in the industry needed time to implement new COVID “accommodations,” pizza restaurants were able to adapt more easily to the new market. Over-the-phone orders, online orders, takeout, curbside, and delivery have long supplied a good portion of the sector’s annual revenue, but often at an additional cost to merchants. Still, pizza sales have remained incredibly close to pre-pandemic levels, facing only a 0.22% total loss from 2019 to 2020, versus the 24% loss to the restaurant industry overall. |
Kiosks and Online Ordering Help Restaurants Provide Competitive Staff Wages
3-minute read ---
In 2016, self-service Kiosks and online ordering were uncommon in the restaurant industry. A few restaurants offered tableside tablets for self-service ordering and payments, while leading fast-food chains provided customer-facing Kiosks in lobbies to bust lines and streamline in-house dining services. Though many restaurants had their own website to display venue images, menus, and store information, few utilized online ordering solutions to expand their operation. Years later, accelerated by the contactless dining demands of a global pandemic, Kiosks and online ordering are everywhere, supporting contactless food and drink operations and helping restaurant owners provide competitive staff wages in a slim employee market. |
