Aldelo Gift Processing vs Hang

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.

Hang is a restaurant guest-experience platform that combines loyalty and ordering with offers, CRM, and a customer data platform. Restaurants can set points, earn rates, tiers, benefits, and rewards, with program details synced across the app, wallet pass, and register. Guests can enroll through the app, at the register, or online; activity from POS, app, web, and delivery can be brought together in one profile. Loyalty options include branded minigames, mystery boxes, streaks, quests, challenges, puzzles, trivia, and badges. Ordering features cover order-ahead, menu modifiers, pickup scheduling, Uber Direct delivery, Stripe payments, scan and pay, gift cards, and stored value. Businesses can also use referrals, paid memberships, targeted rewards, social media rewards, polls, surveys, a partner API, and webhooks. Hang says its AI monitors redemptions and flags what prompts return visits. Apps are listed for Android and iOS, alongside web and API platforms. Pricing is on request; businesses can request a free branded prototype, but no free software plan is stated.
