Restaurant IT that survives Saturday night.

POS uptime, kitchen Wi-Fi that doesn't crater at 7pm, payment-terminal failover for the Friday rush, and online ordering that doesn't ghost orders. Built for restaurants — by people who have crawled under enough booths to know where the cable broke.

Why restaurant IT is different.

Restaurant networks have three jobs running on the same Wi-Fi: POS terminals taking payment, staff iPads running orders, and 60+ guest phones during dinner rush. If they're all on the same SSID, the POS waits in line behind 50 customer phones trying to associate. That's why your card readers throw errors at 7pm.

The fix isn't a bigger router. It's segmenting traffic onto separate VLANs, prioritizing payment QoS, and surveying the floor before placing access points. We do the survey, install the gear, and stick around to make sure it actually holds up the first Friday after we leave.

The payment-terminal failover nobody turns on.

Most modern terminals — Square, Toast, Clover, Stripe Reader — support cellular failover. The terminal pops over to LTE the moment Wi-Fi fails and keeps taking cards. Cost is usually $5–15/month per terminal. Almost no restaurant has it turned on. We enable it, test it, and document it on day one.

Restaurant IT FAQ

What POS systems do you support?

Toast, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Aloha, Aldelo, TouchBistro, and most iPad-based platforms. We focus on the network, devices, and payment failover around the POS — not the POS software itself.

My Wi-Fi crashes during the dinner rush. Can you fix it?

Yes — this is the #1 thing we get called for. The fix is segmented networks (POS, staff, guest on separate VLANs), proper access-point placement after a site survey, and prosumer hardware spec'd for 60+ simultaneous devices.

Can you set up payment-terminal failover?

Yes. Most modern terminals (Square, Toast, Stripe Reader, Clover) support cellular failover for $5–15/month. We turn it on, test it, and document the failover behavior.

What about online ordering integrations?

DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Toast Online Ordering, ChowNow, direct-to-website. We make sure the integration is stable, prep printer routing works, and the kitchen knows where each order is coming from.

Do you serve restaurants outside DFW?

Same-day on-site is the default for restaurants in Ennis, Waxahachie, Mansfield, Midlothian, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington. Beyond that we offer remote-first support for select clients.
