A network solution that grows with your organization
Although NaaS by OnX supports the communication goals of numerous markets, the food service industry is particularly well-positioned to drive results and reduce expenses with this managed solution. Additionally, restaurants and similar enterprises can utilize NaaS to position their brands for the next iteration of franchise technology solutions.
Since downtime can be catastrophic for restaurants, OnX works with clients to rapidly deploy a powerful NaaS solution, bringing consistent performance across multiple storefronts and devices. Around-the-clock monitoring and maintenance allows owners and managers to focus on hungry customers rather than network upkeep.
With NaaS in place, restaurant owners can quickly scale their network to support business growth and deployment of additional franchises. This flexibility means the organization can promptly adjust and customize the network with minimal disruption.
A new generation of franchise communication technology
In an era of nimble communications, the concept of fast-casual restaurant service itself is taking on new dimensions. Today’s customers expect convenience, whether checking order status via mobile app or on a table-mounted smart display. However, simply modernizing your systems means little without a robust and reliable in-store network supporting them.
With OnX as a cloud networking partner, organizations can equip their restaurants with convenient customer-centric and employee-friendly technology. Owners can also reap the rewards of lowering networking expenses with simplified billing, dependable performance, and much more.
