No downtime at the rush
When the POS, kitchen screens or card readers stop, orders stop. The network underneath has to be dependable and backed up.
Restaurants & food service
Technology that keeps the line moving—at every location.
From the POS and kitchen screens to guest WiFi, cameras and menu boards, TurnKey installs, connects and supports the technology a restaurant runs on, and builds the software that ties a portfolio of locations together.
What matters
What these operations need from their technology
The same setup everywhere
Every location should look, run and be supported the same way, whether you have one store or hundreds.
Guests and payments kept apart
Guest WiFi, staff devices and payment systems need to be separated so one never puts the others at risk.
Help any hour you're open
Problems happen at dinner and on weekends. Support has to be reachable when the doors are open.
