Restaurant, food truck, and bar owners need reliable tools that enable efficient operations without stretching their budgets. One such tool is Aldelo Express POS, a cloud-based point-of-sale system designed to streamline daily tasks, improve customer experiences, and enhance business performance. One of the most significant advantages of Aldelo Express POS is its flexibility—it allows businesses to use readily available and affordable non-proprietary hardware that can save their operation from loss of time, money, and disruptions to their operation.
Cost-Effective Hardware Solutions
For many small to medium-sized restaurants and food service operations, investing in proprietary hardware can be a financial burden. Proprietary systems often come with high upfront costs and limited hardware options, locking businesses into specific hardware providers and repair services. In contrast, Aldelo Express POS can be installed on non-proprietary hardware such as iPads or Android tablets, giving restaurant owners the freedom to choose readily available and affordable devices that meet their needs.

This hardware flexibility lowers the barrier to entry for smaller establishments, allowing them to invest in a robust POS system without the heavy financial strain. Instead of being forced to buy expensive proprietary terminals, businesses can use widely available hardware that suits their budget.
Operators can even use tablets they have previously owned or bought – Aldelo Express does not require new hardware solutions! Aldelo Express can run on many devices, as long as it has an up-to-date and eligible operating system and qualifying device specifications.

Ease of Replacement and Maintenance
One of the challenges with proprietary hardware is the difficulty of finding replacement parts or servicing when the hardware is damaged or defective. Non-proprietary devices like iPads and Android tablets, however, are widely serviced. In the event of a hardware failure, restaurant owners using Aldelo Express can quickly replace their devices or purchase a cable easily through local or online providers without relying on specific vendors or incurring long shipping delays. It also eliminates downtime or delays while the business awaits repairs. This ease of access to hardware reduces potential disruptions to business operations, ensuring consistent and more reliable services, even when things go wrong.
Moreover, since non-proprietary hardware is common, most staff are familiar with the technology, leading to quicker setup times, training time, and faster troubleshooting. This can help restaurants avoid costly delays during high-traffic hours or critical service periods.
Scalability and Flexibility
As restaurants grow and evolve, so too do their operational needs. One of the greatest benefits of using non-proprietary hardware with Aldelo Express POS is the scalability it offers. Whether a restaurant is expanding from one location to several, or simply expanding a single operation to include more self-service kiosks or staff-facing terminals, non-proprietary hardware lets operators add and subtract POS devices as their business needs change.
The cost savings and flexibility provided by this hardware mean that businesses can expand their operations without having to reinvest heavily in new systems. New devices can be easily integrated into the existing POS network, allowing for a seamless growth experience.

Mobility for Expansive Services
Many restaurants and food trucks need a system that adapts to their fast-paced and mobile environments. With cloud point-of-sale software supported by Wi-Fi or cellular data connection, non-proprietary hardware, such as tablets, enables mobility for both staff and management. Whether it’s taking orders tableside, managing inventory remotely, or processing orders on the go at a food truck, the portability of non-proprietary devices enhances the efficiency of operations. For bars and high-traffic restaurants, this flexibility can lead to faster service, reduced errors, and an improved customer experience. The ability to move freely with the hardware adds value to dynamic businesses that rely on speed and flexibility to meet customer demands for sit-down, curbside, mobile, or delivery service operations. Ongoing Software Updates and Integration
Aldelo Express POS is a cloud-based system that receives year-round software updates. Using non-proprietary hardware ensures that restaurant owners are not tied down to outdated or unsupported devices. Instead, they can upgrade their hardware as needed while always staying current with Aldelo Express software updates. Additionally, non-proprietary hardware offers greater flexibility when using third-party applications, which can be essential for restaurants using third-party integrations for inventory, analytics, delivery service management, and more. |
