Overview
QSR & Dining.

IpOctet deploys and maintains the low voltage infrastructure behind digital menu boards, kitchen displays, drive-thru systems, and guest WiFi — scaled across hundreds of franchise locations with standardized, repeatable processes.

Challenges in QSR & Dining.
Drive-Thru Downtime
$4,800/hr— QSR Magazine
A single drive-thru lane going offline costs the average QSR location $4,800 per hour in lost revenue. When the connectivity behind AI ordering systems, headsets, or confirmation screens fails, the entire lane grinds to a halt during peak meal periods.
Menu Board Failures
22%— Digital Signage Survey
More than one in five digital menu board installations experience failures within the first year — usually traced to inadequate power provisioning, improper outdoor-rated cabling, or poor thermal management that causes media players to overheat and shut down during summer months.
Kitchen Display Outages
15 min avg— Restaurant Tech
Kitchen display system outages average 15 minutes of resolution time per incident, during which order flow reverts to paper tickets and throughput drops by up to 40%. The root cause is almost always heat damage to cables routed too close to cooking equipment.
Overnight Install Failures
31%— Field Service Data
Nearly a third of overnight QSR installations by general contractors require a return visit because crews arrive unprepared, lack franchise-specific knowledge, or run over the available window — each failed visit costing the franchisee a full day of disrupted operations.
