Restaurant POS Cabling & Network Installation

What we install

Restaurant work rewards doing everything while the ceiling is open, so we scope the whole low-voltage package rather than just the POS drops.

• Cat6 drops for terminals, kitchen displays, printers, and back office
• PoE drops and access points for staff, guest, and handheld ordering
• Network location build — rack or wall mount, switch, power, cable management
• Security cameras covering entries, registers, and cash handling
• Background music and paging for dining rooms and patios

Keep payments off the guest network

Guest Wi-Fi, staff devices, POS terminals, and cameras should not share one flat network. We separate them onto their own SSIDs and VLANs so a guest streaming video isn't sitting next to your payment traffic, and so handhelds keep working through a Friday dinner rush.

• Separate guest, staff, POS, and camera networks
• Coverage designed for handhelds and patios, not just the dining room
• Business-grade access points rather than a consumer router behind the bar
• Wired terminals wherever the terminal doesn't move

Toast POS locations

A good portion of our restaurant work is Toast POS — new locations and remodels where the cabling, network, cameras, and AV all need to be done before the POS install date. If you're opening a Toast location, tell your Toast sales rep to reach out to us and we'll coordinate directly with them on timing and drop counts. That way the cabling is finished and tested before install day instead of becoming the reason opening slips a week.

• Drop counts and locations coordinated from your POS layout
• Cabling complete and tested ahead of the POS installer's date
• Cameras, Wi-Fi, and sound bundled into the same visit
• One contractor and one invoice for the whole low-voltage package

For Toast sales representatives

We work alongside Toast sales reps regularly and are glad to be the cabling and low-voltage contractor on your deals. Bring us in early and we'll walk the location, give you drop counts and a number you can hand your client, and make sure the site is actually ready on install day. Your client gets one contractor for cabling, network, cameras, and sound, and you get a site that doesn't reschedule. Atkins Tech Solutions is an independent low-voltage contractor and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Toast, Inc.

• Fast site walkthroughs and drop counts for deals in progress
• Pricing your client can see before they sign
• Cabling finished and tested before the scheduled install
• Regular restaurant work across Eastern, Central, and Northern PA

Working around service and opening dates

For remodels and existing locations we schedule around service hours so lunch and dinner still run. After-hours labor is a premium and it goes in the quote up front rather than showing up as a change order.
