Aldelo Gift Processing vs Maitre'D Gift Card

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.

Maitre’D Gift Card connects physical and digital restaurant gift cards with Maitre’D POS. Restaurants can sell physical cards in-store and offer eGift cards around the clock through their websites, social media, the Freebees Gift Card Boutique and its app. Customers can receive digital cards by email with a personalized message, reload cards in-store or online, and redeem them at participating locations or through supported online ordering channels. Cards can be used across participating locations. The POS integration centralizes balances and activity, with reporting and transaction history. Restaurants can customize card designs and holders, and offer a branded mobile app experience with Maitre’D Loyalty. Existing cards can be imported at no charge while preserving active cards and customer balances. The program is powered by Freebees, and support includes team training, marketing guidance and technical assistance. The listed Loyalty & Gift Card System add-on costs £29 a month. The product page also invites restaurants to request a demo.
