Restaurant & Bar Technology Solutions
Built for Real-World Operations
Computers & Things helps restaurants, bars, cafés, and hospitality businesses install, connect, secure, and manage the technology they rely on every day.
Technology Services for Restaurants & Bars
From the dining room to the kitchen, office, patio, bar, and back-of-house, we design practical systems that are clean, reliable, and easy to use.
POS System Setup & Support
We can help set up and support the technology around your POS system, including POS stations, handheld devices, kitchen printers, receipt printers, credit card terminals, network connections, and related equipment.
Network Setup & Troubleshooting
We can design and install a properly structured restaurant network, or troubleshoot your current setup when POS systems, payment processing, phones, cameras, Wi-Fi, kitchen devices, or office equipment are not working reliably.
Ethernet Wiring & Structured Cabling
Professional Ethernet cable runs for POS stations, kitchen printers, office computers, Wi-Fi access points, cameras, digital signage players, VoIP phones, network switches, and other critical systems.
Wi-Fi & Guest Network Planning
Reliable wireless coverage for staff devices, handheld POS systems, tablets, guest access, patios, and private event spaces — with secure separation between business systems and public Wi-Fi.
TV Video Matrix Systems
A video matrix allows multiple TVs to be controlled from a central location. This is ideal for sports bars, dining rooms, private rooms, and event areas where different TVs may need to show different sources.
Audio Wiring & Source Control
We can wire speakers, set up amplifiers, plan volume zones, and tie audio into a video matrix so your team can choose which TV, receiver, or source audio plays in each area.
Security Camera Installation
Licensed installation of IP camera systems for dining rooms, bars, entrances, parking areas, kitchens, storage rooms, cash handling areas, and back doors.
Wired & Wireless VoIP Phones
VoIP phone systems for host stands, offices, bars, kitchens, managers, and cordless handsets for staff who need to move throughout the building.
Outdoor Patio & Entertainment Technology
Patios and outdoor areas often need special planning for wiring, weather exposure, sound coverage, and reliable connectivity.
Patio TVs & Outdoor Displays
We can help plan and connect outdoor TVs, patio displays, protected wiring, and source control for sports, events, promotions, and entertainment areas.
Outdoor Speakers & Audio Zones
Speaker wiring, outdoor audio planning, patio music, separate volume zones, and amplifier setup for a clean and professional customer experience.
Wired First, Wireless When Needed
Wired connections are almost always the most reliable option. When wireless is required, we can help plan it properly so it is stable, secure, and positioned for the best possible performance.
Business Buddy for Restaurant Operations
Business Buddy is built to help restaurants and bars organize daily operations, communicate with staff, and reduce the chaos that comes from scattered systems.
Digital Signage
Use Business Buddy digital signage to show still images, rotating graphics, videos, menu boards, announcements, promotions, daily specials, employee reminders, or customer-facing information on TVs and displays.
Inventory by Location
Set up inventory around the way your restaurant actually works — walk-ins, bars, liquor rooms, dry storage, keg coolers, speed wells, prep areas, or other sections your team already uses.
Ordering & Distributor Organization
Track what needs to be ordered, organize items by distributor, prepare saved orders, and help managers move through inventory faster and more consistently.
Certifications & Training Help
Track employee certifications such as food handler cards and TABC, store important dates, and use quizzes to help employees prepare before taking required tests.
Manager Notes & Shift Communication
Leave notes from one manager to another for shift changes, follow-ups, maintenance issues, staff reminders, inventory concerns, and daily operations.
Recipes & Nutrition
Build recipes, calculate nutrition information that can help you price your items, or add them to a menu.
Social Media Posting
Have your social media posts handled automatically so you do not have to worry about keeping up with daily posting by hand.
Menus & Marketing
Create menus, and generate materials such as business cards and flyers to help keep your restaurant information organized and consistent.

Restaurant and bar management software designed to simplify operations, inventory, digital signage, employee communication, certifications, recipes, menus, and more.

New Restaurant Builds, Remodels & Technology Planning
The best time to plan technology is before walls are closed, equipment is installed, and problems become expensive to fix.
Pre-Construction Planning
We can help plan network drops, camera locations, TV locations, speaker zones, POS stations, office equipment, phone placement, digital signage, and equipment rooms before construction is complete.
Remodel & Expansion Support
Adding a patio, expanding a dining room, moving a bar, adding more TVs, or upgrading old systems? We can help plan the technology before the project gets too far along.
Multi-System Coordination
Restaurants often have many systems that depend on each other. We can help coordinate networking, cameras, phones, POS, audio, video, internet, and signage so everything works together.
Additional Systems We Can Help With
Restaurants and bars often need several systems to work together. We can help plan, install, troubleshoot, and support the technology behind them.
Backup Internet & Failover Planning
Help reduce downtime by planning backup internet options for POS systems, payment processing, phones, online ordering, and business-critical devices.
Backup Power & UPS Protection
Protect network equipment, camera systems, phone systems, internet equipment, and other critical devices from short power outages, power blinks, and sudden shutdowns.
Equipment Cleanup & Rack Organization
Clean up network closets, label cables, organize switches, remove old wiring, and make your technology easier to troubleshoot in the future.
Multi-Location Planning
Standardize networks, phones, cameras, signage, inventory systems, and support processes across multiple restaurants or bar locations.
Managed IT & Ongoing Support
We can be there for ongoing needs, troubleshooting, system changes, upgrades, expansion, and technology planning as your restaurant grows.
One Company to Call
Instead of juggling separate companies for networking, phones, cameras, audio, TVs, signage, and support, Computers & Things can help bring those systems together under one local technology partner.
