Guest Experience Depends on Invisible Technology
Hotels, restaurants, venues, and leisure operators in Barnet compete on service, speed, and reputation. Guests notice friendly staff and smooth check-ins; they rarely notice the IT that makes it possible. Point-of-sale systems, booking engines, Wi-Fi, telephony, staff scheduling, and payments all rely on stable technology. When something fails, service slips and reviews reflect it. Hospitality needs IT support that keeps operations running, protects payment data, and adapts quickly to peaks and events.
FreshStance delivers managed IT support, telecoms, cloud, and cyber security for hospitality businesses across North London and Hertfordshire. We engineer calm behind the scenes so your teams can focus on guests.
Reliable Operations from Front Desk to Back Office
The workday starts with systems ready. POS terminals, room management, and booking platforms must launch quickly and stay responsive. Standard device builds, automated updates, and known-good configurations reduce drift between sites. Networks prioritise voice, payments, and property systems while guest Wi-Fi remains segmented. With these foundations, check-ins are swift, tables turn smoothly, and managers trust their dashboards.
Unified communications that connect teams and guests
Reservations, front desk, housekeeping, kitchen, and management coordinate continuously. Unified Communications routes calls to the right team, supports quick paging and group messaging, and escalates to video when needed. Softphones on mobiles keep managers reachable with the venue’s caller ID during floor walks or events. FreshStance designs call flows and groups that mirror your operations so response times drop.
Guest Wi-Fi That Is Fast and Safe
Wi-Fi is part of the guest experience. Coverage must be consistent, logins simple, and traffic separated from operational systems. We design networks with the right access points, roaming behaviour, and captive portals that capture consent without friction. Bandwidth is prioritised for business systems during peak times, and analytics reveal patterns to guide upgrades before complaints arrive.
Payments and PCI-conscious design
Card security is non-negotiable. Networks segment cardholder data environments from general traffic, and POS devices are enrolled and monitored. Email and identity protections reduce the risk of invoice fraud and account takeover. FreshStance aligns configurations with PCI expectations and helps you maintain evidence for acquirers and banks.
Kitchens, Bars, and Rooms That Keep Moving
Service falters when printers misbehave or tablets drop off Wi-Fi. We standardise device kits, ensure coverage in busy, high-temperature environments, and monitor health so failing components are replaced before they interrupt service. For room controls, signage, and conference AV, we design simple, reliable setups that staff can operate without specialist knowledge.
Integration with booking engines and platforms
Revenue depends on accurate availability and pricing across channels. Integrations between your PMS, channel manager, and booking sites must be resilient. We monitor syncs, handle API changes, and troubleshoot quickly when platforms update. For restaurants, we integrate reservation systems with telecoms so calls and online bookings stay in one flow.
Security That Protects Guests and Brand
Hospitality is a target for phishing, ransomware, and social engineering. Staff churn and seasonal hiring increase exposure if accounts are not managed tightly. We implement multi-factor authentication, least-privilege roles, and timely joiner-mover-leaver processes. Endpoint protection and email filtering reduce incidents, while concise awareness sessions teach staff to verify payment changes and handle data responsibly.
Backups and recovery that respect trading hours
If a database corrupts or a device fails, work must continue. Immutable backups and tested restores return systems quickly. For peak trading, we plan maintenance outside busy windows and ensure failover options are ready. Runbooks are written in plain language so shift leaders can act confidently until engineers arrive.
Multi-Site Consistency with Local Care
Groups need central standards and local flexibility. We create patterns for networks, devices, and access that repeat per site, making audits easier and rollouts faster. Local engineers provide hands-on help for installs and emergencies, backed by a service desk that understands your environment.
Reporting That Improves Service
Leaders need timely insight into response times, Wi-Fi health, POS uptime, and call handling. Dashboards surface trends and exceptions so managers can coach teams and plan staffing. We correlate technology metrics with guest feedback to find where small fixes create noticeable improvements.
