Submission + - Fleshing Out The Tech For a New Restaurant
flatass writes: I have been approached by a long time friend asking for me to handle the technology side of his new restaurant. Given the following facts, I fear for our success and thus turn to the masses at Slashdot: While i have nearly two decades of IT system implementations experience, I have never thought about how to apply it to a restaurant. My friend has never started/owned a restaurant. Arguably, now may not be the best time for starting a new restaurant. So with the odds against us already, what systems or combination of systems make the most sense? I want to be able to do as much remote management of the systems as is feasible. Everything will be net-new, from the phone system, to the POS, TV/Cable, Music etc. Should I consider Comcast for business or do a more traditional ISP and Phone Co approach?
