Restaurants
It is now becoming more and more common place to have an Internet connection wherever people go. Wireless connections (WiFi) are a must in any public settings - especially restaurants. Being able to grab a sandwich and connect is something that people just expect now. SNA works with national franchises from casual dining to fast food or donut shops, to provide WiFi services for restaurant customers. SNA's portal development services is an integral part of the restaurant industry. We develop unique portals alongside a company's marketing department to create a look and feel that corresponds with the company's branding. Through these portals, we can control Internet access by many means. You can capture email addresses or require passcodes that are given in exchange for a purchase. Access can be further limited to certain time intervals. For example, if a person purchases a drink they might receive 10 minutes of Internet access. This keeps retstaurants from worrying about guests that want to sit on the Internet all day.
The work with restaurants goes beyond just guest WiFi. SNA utilizes its own OneSolution for many of its national franchise customers. Our years of experience in building complex networks has given us the ability of offering "all-inclusive" packages for restaurants that are effective, efficient, and cost competitive for clients. Whereas many companies provide only one portion of a solution, SNA's experience allows it to combine all the solutions into one thus giving restaurant clients the ability to manage technology more efficiently and with more confidence. Instead of a store needing to call five different vendors, they just call us for any technology needs. Our expertise in these areas allow us to more efficiently manage the vendors much faster than the client. We know the process and understand the technology - OneSolution. The OneSolution for restaurants begins by bringing phone and Internet access into each store. From there we set up firewalls and builds out the store's network while keeping PCI compliance in mind. Once built, these networks can allow stores the ability to do many different things - run the back office (and keep it segregated), support the store's surveillance cameras, potentially run a wireless inventory, and finally provide the guest Internet access if necessary. These networks can be as simple or as sophisticated as the store requires. More importantly, the goal in providing these solutions is to save money as well. Companies can be confident that the technology is built correctly, will be cost effective, and ultimately will make stores more efficient by allowing SNA to worry about the networks for them 24/7.
