POS, kitchen printers, guest Wi-Fi, cameras, and the internet line everything depends on. Set up for restaurants, cafes, and breweries around Richmond by one person who picks up the phone, even at 7pm on a Friday.
Anything that prints a ticket or takes an order runs on a wire, not Wi-Fi. A spare receipt printer sits configured on the shelf, so a dead one costs you two minutes, not a service.
When the main line drops, a failover connection picks up in seconds and the POS never notices. Tested on purpose, not discovered by accident.
No ticket queue, no offshore hold music. You call, I answer, and I already know how your building is wired because I wired it.
Terminals, receipt and kitchen printers, tap to pay, menu changes. Set up cleanly, wired properly, fixed fast when they act up.
Guests get their own network. The POS, cameras, and office live on a separate segment, the way the card rules (PCI) expect it, so a busy dining room never slows a payment.
DoorDash, Uber Eats, the website. Mounted, powered, on the right network, and not buried under the counter.
Failover internet that kicks in when the main line drops, so cards keep running through the push.
Recordings you own and can pull up from your phone, without a monthly fee just to look at your own footage.
Payroll, invoices, schedules, the recipe folder. Backed up automatically and kept off the guest network.
Restaurant tech fails when the room is full, three delivery tablets are chiming, and the kitchen printer picks its moment. So that hour is what I plan around: wired connections for anything that takes money or prints tickets, a tested backup internet line, spares on site for the parts that die first, and a person to call instead of a vendor's hold queue.
The POS that froze mid-rush, the Wi-Fi that dies when the patio fills up, the printer nobody can fix. If your spot is around Richmond, I'll come by off-peak, walk the setup, and tell you straight what needs fixing.
