IT Solutions for Restaurants & Cafes in Dubai

POS system setup, guest WiFi, CCTV surveillance, kitchen display systems, and reliable networking for restaurants, cafes, food courts, and F&B outlets across Dubai and the UAE.

Technology That Keeps Your Restaurant Running

Dubai has one of the world's highest concentrations of restaurants and cafes per capita. From fine-dining restaurants on Sheikh Zayed Road to fast-casual chains in malls and independent coffee shops across Jumeirah, every F&B outlet depends on technology every service. A POS that crashes during the Friday rush, WiFi that fails during a soft launch, or a camera system that didn't capture a dispute — these aren't inconveniences; they're costly operational failures.

We set up and maintain IT infrastructure specifically tailored for the restaurant and cafe environment — systems installed correctly the first time, on deployment timelines that respect your opening dates.

Technology Challenges in Restaurants & Cafes

POS Network Reliability

A failed POS during service is your worst nightmare. The network connecting terminals, kitchen printers, and payment devices must be wired, fast, and fault-tolerant — not running over shared WiFi.

Guest WiFi Setup

Customers expect fast, free WiFi. But it must be completely isolated from your business network. Incorrect setup means customers can access your POS, back-office systems, or security cameras.

Kitchen Display Systems

KDS screens replacing paper tickets require stable wired connections in hot, humid kitchen environments. Standard consumer networking equipment fails rapidly under these conditions.

CCTV for Security & Operations

Cameras are essential for loss prevention, staff monitoring, customer dispute resolution, and municipality or mall landlord compliance. Coverage must include POS counters, entrances, and back-of-house.

Multiple Locations

Restaurant chains with 3, 5, or 10 branches need consistent IT across all locations — managed centrally, with the same POS platform, the same security standards, and one number to call when something breaks.

Opening Deadlines

Restaurant fit-outs run to tight timelines. IT installation must happen at the right stage of the fit-out — not last minute, not too early. Delays to IT directly delay your opening date.

How We Help Restaurants & Cafes

POS Network Infrastructure

We run dedicated wired network infrastructure for your POS — structured cabling from your server point to every terminal, kitchen printer, bar printer, and payment terminal. No shared WiFi for operational systems. Enterprise-grade switches with VLAN configuration separate POS traffic from guest internet completely. Power backup ensures POS stays live if mains power flickers.

Guest WiFi That's Actually Isolated

We configure guest WiFi networks that are physically and logically separate from your business network. Customers get fast, reliable internet. They cannot access a single internal device. Captive portals, bandwidth limits, and content filtering are included. High-density access points handle the number of simultaneous connections a busy restaurant generates without slowing down.

Kitchen Display System (KDS) Setup

Wired connections for KDS screens using cabling rated for kitchen environments — heat-resistant, appropriate for surfaces near cooking equipment. We work with your KDS vendor on network requirements. Replacement switches in kitchen zones are spec'd for temperature tolerance well above consumer equipment limits.

CCTV Surveillance

Camera systems covering all POS and cash-handling points, entrances and exits, seating areas where permitted, back of house, and office. High-definition recording with motion-triggered alerts for after-hours access. Remote viewing from your phone. Footage retention configured to meet municipality and landlord requirements. We've installed camera systems in restaurants across Dubai Mall, JBR, DIFC, and standalone sites.

Digital Menu Boards & Display Screens

Network infrastructure for digital menu boards and promotional displays. Wired connections to screen locations with media player setup. Reliable connectivity ensuring your menu boards update and never go blank during service.

Multi-Branch Rollout

Standardised network design deployed consistently across all your restaurants. Central management dashboard allowing your IT manager to monitor every branch. Same configuration, same equipment brand, same support process at every location. New branch rollouts done from a proven template — faster and cheaper than starting from scratch each time.

We Work Around Restaurant Timelines

Restaurant fit-out schedules are notoriously tight. We coordinate with your main contractor and fit-out team to install cabling at the right stage — when walls are open, before tiling, before furniture — so nothing gets retrofitted over finished surfaces.

For soft launches and first-day openings, we can be on-site from early morning to ensure every device connects, every printer fires, and your team starts service with confidence.

Benefits for Restaurants & Cafes

POS Always On

Dedicated wired infrastructure means POS failures from network issues essentially don't happen. No more lost transactions or manual order-taking during service.

Secure Guest WiFi

Your operations network and guest internet are completely separate. Customers get fast, reliable WiFi. Your POS is never exposed.

Dispute Resolution

CCTV footage of every POS transaction and every customer interaction. Disputes resolved quickly with clear video evidence.

On-Time Opening

IT installation coordinated with your fit-out timeline. No last-minute scrambles that push back your launch date.

One Support Contact

Single point of contact for all your restaurant tech issues across all branches. No juggling multiple vendors when something breaks on a Friday night.

Scale with Your Chain

Standardised setup replicates easily to new locations. Opening branch 6 is cheaper and faster than branch 1 was.
