Aldelo Gift Processing vs GoTab

Aldelo Gift Processing handles physical gift cards and digital eGift cards for restaurants and bars. Customers can buy, store, and redeem cards online or in-store. The system connects natively with Aldelo Express POS and the Masa+ digital wallet for sales, activation, and redemption. Store groups can designate participating locations and manage cards across their chain. A physical card works in-store or online, while a digital card can be presented as a QR code from Masa+. POS terminals scan those codes with built-in cameras, so additional scanning hardware is not required. Digital cards are delivered instantly and remain in Masa+, where customers can check balances. Aldelo describes Express as cloud-native and device-independent, with iPad and Android support; Masa+ is available in a web browser. The service also offers a cloud-based REST-pattern Open API, 24/7 support, and payment security certifications for Aldelo ePay.

GoTab is an end-to-end restaurant commerce platform for restaurants and other hospitality venues. It supports full-service and quick-service operations, online ordering, curbside pickup, and delivery.

Its point-of-sale software runs on Windows, Android, and iOS devices, while the service is also listed for web, API, and Android and iOS access. Plans are priced per location: Basic is $15 a month with QR and online ordering, preauthorized tabs, one POS, and flexible hardware options; Pro is $99 a month and adds handheld access, Easy Tab, and a kiosk; Sync is $229 a month and adds OpServer with enhanced offline capabilities, fraud and insufficient-funds protection, and order-status SMS.
