Fast, Reliable Technology Infrastructure for Quick-Serve Restaurants
Managing the technology to run a retail or restaurant business is a huge responsibility. Quick-serve restaurants today rely on a growing mix of connected technologies—everything from POS tablets and digital menu boards to loyalty apps, kitchen automation, and third-party delivery integrations. Whether maximizing order speed or minimizing service disruption, your operations depend on infrastructure that’s always on, always secure, and easy to manage across hundreds, or thousands, of locations.

Connected Customer
Connected QSR tools and applications require a secure and reliable infrastructure and network to maximize ROI. If your restaurants or stores use wireless POS tablets, third-party loyalty programs, IoT sensor monitoring, delivery services, or any other connected technology, you need to be certain that sensitive data is always handled securely and that critical connections are always protected from downtime to keep your operations running seamlessly.
What you need is the freedom to run applications on-premises when you need to, with the operational simplicity and performance you get from the cloud. With Scale Computing Platform, you get an edge-ready solution that’s right-sized for your restaurants—not retrofitted data center gear. It runs mission-critical applications locally with cloud-like simplicity, whether you’re managing one franchise or scaling across hundreds of locations.
You get a highly reliable edge computing environment that monitors and heals itself to make sure your applications remain online and available, even during a hardware failure or disruption in connectivity, which makes it easy to connect and manage thousands of global sites in a high-performance business that is secure, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective. With centralized management, you have a simple, cloud-like experience for deploying, monitoring, and maintaining distributed application infrastructure.
Benefits of Running On-Premises Applications on SC//Platform
SC//Platform drastically reduces your operational costs and future-proofs your on-premises technology investments.
CONSOLIDATE APPLICATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Compute, storage, virtualization, and disaster recovery are combined into a single, easy-to-use platform. Eliminate the cost and complexity of caring for separate hardware and software to support individual point solutions. Even run legacy and modern applications on the same infrastructure.
Run your drive-thru management, loyalty app backend, and kitchen video systems on the same edge device.
HIGH AVAILABILITY
Designed for locations with no IT staff on-site—like most restaurants—SC//Platform uses self-healing automation and built-in redundancy to maximize uptime and performance of applications, even during hardware or internet failures. Failover, redundancy, and resiliency are fundamentally designed into every aspect of the solution to create a highly available, reliable computing environment unlike any other.
FLEXIBLE SCALABILITY
Easily scale up or down as needed with exclusively cloud-based management, including templated security and zero-touch deployment. As demand to run applications on-premises grows, your computing footprint will expand rapidly—within and across tens, hundreds, or even thousands of sites.
SC//Platform is unmatched for managing and scaling application infrastructure across sites under a common platform. Deploying hundreds or thousands of nodes today grows effortlessly to tens of thousands tomorrow without rearchitecting a thing. Quickly roll out new tech—like self-ordering kiosks or digital signage—across hundreds of stores with zero-touch provisioning.
CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT
Manage every restaurant’s infrastructure from a single dashboard. Whether you have 50 locations or 5,000, updates and issue resolution happen remotely, without dispatching technicians. Centralized management provides instant visibility into your entire on-premises environment, highlighting issues that may require attention or jeopardize application availability. By remotely orchestrating software updates, hardware swaps, and new infrastructure setups, skilled technicians no longer need to go onsite to manage environments.
COST-SAVING EFFICIENCY
Save on costly site visits, licensing fees, and overbuilt hardware—without compromising performance. Remove costs from your application infrastructure every step of the way— purchase, deployment, management, and maintenance. At the same time, you maximize application uptime, use compute resources more efficiently, and drastically improve IT team productivity.
Discover Scale Computing Platform
For QSR operators, SC//Platform eliminates the tradeoff between cost and capability. Bring the power of the cloud to your stores—simplified, secure, and built for scale.
