Technology That Just Works For Hospitality Venues.
Reliable business WiFi, network resilience and IT support for restaurants, pubs, cafés, bars and venues across Edinburgh. When card machines drop offline or guest WiFi interferes with the till network, it affects the whole service.
We also install venue audio and CCTV where that's part of the job, but the network comes first, because everything else depends on it.
Most Venues Grow Over Time
A router gets added in a cupboard. A speaker gets installed near the bar. Someone plugs in another access point. Before long, nobody really knows how it all works. The result?
Card machines disconnecting
It always seems to happen during a busy Friday night service. The till loses connection, the queue builds up, and you're left apologising to customers.
Slow guest WiFi
Customers asking for the password, then coming back to say it won't connect. Or it connects but does nothing. Embarrassing, and completely fixable.
Booking systems dropping out
Online bookings, table management, kitchen displays. Everything runs over WiFi now. When it drops, your whole operation feels it.
Poor music coverage
Too loud by the bar, barely audible in the dining room. The atmosphere suffers without customers quite knowing why.
Staff constantly adjusting volume
Systems that are too complicated to use during a busy shift. Volume controls nobody can find. Technology that was never designed around the people using it.
CCTV nobody can access
Cameras that were installed years ago, passwords nobody knows, footage you can't retrieve when you actually need it. That's not security.
No backup if broadband fails
One connection, one cabinet, one point of failure. When the main broadband goes down, so does everything that depends on it, including the till.
We help fix that.
Hospitality Technology Done Properly
From guest WiFi and business networks to venue audio, CCTV and ongoing support. We take care of the technology so you can focus on running your venue.
Business WiFi & Networks
Your network runs the business, not just the guest WiFi
Access points, managed switches and VLANs so staff devices, EPOS/till systems and guest WiFi are properly separated. No dead spots in the dining room, terrace or basement.
- Guest WiFi kept separate from tills and staff devices
- Outdoor and multi-floor coverage, cabling and network cabinets
- Remote network management that handles busy Friday nights
Internet Resilience
Keep card payments online if the main connection fails
Your main broadband or fibre connection is still a single point of failure unless there's a backup. A 4G, 5G or Starlink connection can be configured to take over where appropriate.
- 4G/5G or Starlink backup where suitable for the venue
- Automatic or managed failover, depending on the setup
- Remote visibility so problems are spotted, not discovered mid-service
Managed IT & Microsoft 365
One point of contact for the network and everything behind it
Back-office computers, Microsoft 365, rota and supplier admin, day-to-day IT problems and updates, supported alongside the network, not as a separate headache.
- Single point of contact who already knows your venue
- No call centres, no ticket queues, no being passed around
Venue Audio Systems
Even sound throughout the venue with independent volume zones for bar, dining and outdoor areas, controlled from a phone or tablet.
CCTV & Security Systems
Modern CCTV with remote viewing from your phone, clear image quality and reliable incident playback. Not a system nobody knows the password to.
Why Hospitality Businesses Choose Curly IT
Not a faceless company. Not a call centre. Just Rob, who'll actually show up, sort it, and be reachable afterwards.
We Understand Hospitality
A WiFi issue at 3pm is annoying. A WiFi issue at 7pm on a Saturday night costs money. We understand the difference and we treat it accordingly.
No Technical Jargon
We'll explain everything clearly and make sure your team knows how to use it. No confusing technical talk, no feeling like you should know more than you do.
Designed Around Your Venue
Every building is different, especially in Edinburgh. Stone walls, basements, terraces and listed buildings all create unique challenges. We design systems around the space rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
Ongoing Support Available
When you need help, you'll speak to somebody who already knows your setup. Not a call centre agent reading from a script who's never seen your venue.
Areas We Cover
Based in Edinburgh and supporting hospitality venues throughout Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.
