Security

Restaurants are targets to both insider and
outsider threats to include theft of cash, assets, merchandise, supplies and financial data, workplace violence, assault, and vandalism. Restaurants managers are charged with the protection and safety of large groups of people to include the public along with their employees. By use of integrated CCTV, access control, and intrusion systems, IntraWorks can help to reduce the likelihood of injury to the store occupants and provide valuable investigative information if an incident takes place. Video and Audio analytics can detect theft of product, burglary, robbery, workplace violence, and even count how many people stand in line. Special purpose radios or communicators can also add security and function by keeping staff informed up to the minute of any emergencies, requests, takeout orders, or special needs. Finally cash register integration can safe from internal theft of cash and gift cards.

Safety

Energy

Restaurants utilize a lot of energy and resources to provide a pleasant environment for its customers and employees. IntraWorks can provide systems that save energy costs and make the building more comfortable to work or dine in. Additional savings can be achieved by monitoring freezers and utilities so that failures are discovered quickly before product is damaged. By use of advanced climate controls, energy management, lighting control, daylight harvesting systems, sub-metering, and constant commissioning, our restaurant solutions can help to save in overall energy life cycle costs.

Retail Stores are held to tight safety standards for the protection of employees and customers by authorities having jurisdiction. IntraWorks can provide systems that avoid injury and save lives in an emergency. By use of fire detection and evacuation, critical systems monitoring, paging, and CCTV systems, emergencies are detected early and building occupants are evacuated or redirected rapidly.

Intelligence

By truly integrating Security, Energy, and Safety Systems together, a store becomes more intelligent and efficient. Customers and employees are more comfortable, informed, and work more effectively. Integrating systems is a plus sum situation whereby the effectiveness of each system is augmented by becoming connected to other systems. For example: Stores that use the security system to sense occupancy or provide remote control functions can reduce electric and HVAC costs when occupants are not present. Fire Systems that use the HVAC system to evacuate smoke can save lives in a burning building. Intercom/Communication systems that utilize CCTV verification are more effective. When all of these systems are connected and the information becomes available to authorized persons on their smart phone, computer, or tablet, the efficiency and effectiveness are unmatched by any individual system. Simply put… Intelligent buildings work better and use less energy.
