QSR, Restaurant & Retail – THE Power HUB
Backoffice IT, internet, credit cards, point of sale, kitchen display, drive through tech, etc. The technology is constantly improving. Yet, the lock ups continue, credit cards go down, firmware is always getting updated, orders still go missing from the KDS or receipts are printing. What’s going on?
- Technology is faster and faster every year. Great for experience and processing. Vulnerability – the faster the processer the more susceptible to power problems.
- It is very challenging to provide the proper power protection and battery backup for an entire store unless you like taking up all the under-counter space and having big, clunky UPS on the kitchen prep stations to protect the KDS.
What’s the good news? All this new gear consumes significantly less power which is great for energy reduction. The hidden gem is power consumption is now so low, all the IT equipment with our store can be powered by a single power line conditioned UPS. This UPS is wall mounted to save all the space on the floor, under the counters and on the kitchen prep areas. It will allow your entire operations, including KDS, to have clean power and battery backup.
This Power HUB design will also save on construction and renovation costs as well as future maintenance. A single breaker will power the unit and all IT loads will get wired directly to it. Your store will save on 5-12 breakers and associated costs. In 3-4 years you will have a single battery to replace rather than a dozen or so UPS boxes.
