IT Support for Somerset Hospitality Businesses: Pubs, Cafes and Restaurants

Short answer: For pubs, cafes and restaurants, IT usually means one thing, the till and card machine working during service. Good hospitality IT support is built around Wi-Fi, EPOS and payment systems staying up through your busiest hours, not just fixing an office PC.

What “IT” actually means for a hospitality business

Most hospitality businesses don’t have a server room or an office full of PCs. IT here means the network, the till, the card machine, and increasingly guest Wi-Fi, all needing to work reliably under pressure.

Guest Wi-Fi and staff systems on the same network

Guest Wi-Fi and the systems you actually trade on shouldn’t be sharing the same network without proper separation. A busy Saturday night of guests streaming shouldn’t be able to slow down your till.

EPOS and payment systems

Card payments failing during a busy service is one of the most disruptive things that can happen to a hospitality business. EPOS and payment systems need monitoring as a priority, not an afterthought.

Keeping things running through service

Friday and Saturday nights, bank holidays, event days, these are exactly when you can least afford downtime and exactly when systems get pushed hardest.

What we typically set up for hospitality clients

Separated guest and trading networks, monitored EPOS and payment systems, and fast-response support that understands a broken till on a Saturday night can’t wait until Monday. See our Hospitality EPOS service for more.
