Small failures stop the whole line
A printer, kitchen display, access point, or network dependency can slow ordering and fulfillment even when the internet is technically up.
From order to handoff
When the kitchen printer goes down, the whole night goes down.
Ordering, payment, kitchen displays, printers, pickup, drive-through, menu boards, and guest Wi-Fi, cut over on a schedule that does not cost you a dinner service.
The problems we design around
Start with what creates delay, risk, and repeat work.
Front and back of house compete
Guest Wi-Fi, payment, staff devices, media, delivery tablets, and operations need deliberate capacity and separation.
Remodel windows are unforgiving
Equipment, mounts, pathways, configuration, and vendor responsibilities must be resolved before the shutdown window begins.
Systems that fit the operation
One environment. Connected layers.
Every layer is scoped with its purpose, dependencies, administrator, acceptance evidence, and change boundary. Select systems can stand alone; integrated programs share one site plan and closeout.
01
Ordering, point-of-sale, and queue systems
Connected ordering, payment, kitchen, pickup, drive-through, service-desk, and receipt workflows with clear network boundaries.
- POS and ordering endpoint connectivity
- Kitchen, pickup, printer, and display pathways
- Payment and guest traffic separation
- Failover, staging, cutover, and operator handoff plan
Pricing pathDesign-to-quote: lanes, terminals, displays, printers, platform licenses, integrations, and after-hours cutover requirements change the project.
02
Network core and structured cabling
A documented physical layer for point-of-sale, workstations, phones, devices, cameras, controls, and future expansion.
- MDF and IDF planning
- Cat6 or Cat6A pathways and drops
- Racks, patching, UPS, labeling, and test results
- Switching, routing, and deployment configuration
Pricing pathPublished network packages and installed per-drop options are shown below. Larger environments are built in the project estimator.
03
Business and guest Wi-Fi
Wireless coverage designed around people, handhelds, scanners, tablets, operational devices, and guest traffic instead of a residential router model.
- Coverage and capacity planning
- Separate staff, guest, device, and operations networks
- Indoor and outdoor access-point options
- Validation, naming, and handoff documentation
Pricing pathInstalled indoor and outdoor access-point pricing is shown below; final quantities follow the facility layout and coverage plan.
04
Media displays and digital signage
Customer-facing menus, promotions, wayfinding, dashboards, room displays, and video walls built as an operable system rather than a loose screen installation.
- Display, mount, player, power, and data plan
- Content-management and input-source options
- Single-screen, menu-board, dashboard, and video-wall layouts
- Remote administration, training, and content handoff
Pricing pathDesign-to-quote: display class, size, mounting, player, content platform, licensing, and electrical readiness determine the installed price.
05
Video security and operational visibility
Camera placement, recording, viewing, and retention planned around the decisions the footage must support.
- Indoor, outdoor, overview, detail, and specialty views
- Local, cloud-managed, and open-platform options
- Retention and viewing-station planning
- Placement schedule, naming, and administrator handoff
Pricing pathLocal and cloud-managed camera packages plus installed per-camera options are shown below.
06
Operational automation and systems integration
Repeatable handoffs between devices, software, alerts, schedules, and staff so routine work does not depend on someone noticing it manually.
- Current-state workflow map
- Trigger, action, approval, and exception design
- API, webhook, device, and notification integrations
- Testing, audit trail, fallback, and administrator documentation
Pricing pathScoped after workflow discovery. GHT identifies dependencies and failure paths before quoting build, integration, and support.
Product options and published pricing
Concrete starting points—not a mystery quote.
These are current GHT catalog planning prices for standard scope. They show the hardware class, included installation, and recurring platform cost when applicable. Site conditions, pathways, quantities, schedule, taxes, licensing term, and verified scope can change the fixed agreement.

Custom media displays, inventory, ordering, automation, AV, fiber, and OT systems are quoted after their real dependencies are mapped.
