When the register stops, the revenue stops
Retail and restaurants run on uptime and speed. A crashed POS, an unsecured network, or a ransomware hit doesn't just create an IT problem — it creates an empty register and a line of customers heading next door.
POS downtime kills revenue by the minute
When the point-of-sale system goes down during a lunch rush or a Saturday afternoon, you are not troubleshooting a computer — you are watching customers walk out. Every minute of register downtime is lost revenue you never recover, and the fix is always urgent and always expensive when there is no plan.
Guest Wi-Fi is a wide-open security risk
You offer free Wi-Fi because customers expect it — but the guest network was set up by whoever installed the router, and nobody has checked whether it is actually separated from your POS system, cameras, and back-office PC. If it is not, every customer on your Wi-Fi is one hop from your card data.
Nobody manages the network or the cameras
The router, the access points, the security cameras, the POS terminals — all installed by different vendors at different times, and none of them responsible for keeping it running. When something breaks, you call three numbers and get three people pointing at each other.
Staff turnover means password chaos
In retail and food service, employees come and go every few weeks. Shared registers, generic logins, and passwords taped to the monitor become normal because nobody has time to set up accounts properly — and nobody revokes access when someone quits mid-shift.
IT and security built for the pace of retail and food service
Managed IT that keeps registers running
POS terminals, back-office PCs, and the network they run on — monitored, patched, and supported for a flat monthly rate. When something breaks during business hours, you call one number, not three vendors.
Cybersecurity for card data and employee PII
24/7 threat detection backed by the Huntress SOC, properly segmented networks, and access controls that actually get enforced — protecting the card data flowing through your POS and the employee information sitting in your back office.
Network infrastructure done right
Guest Wi-Fi properly isolated from your POS and cameras, reliable coverage across the floor, and a network someone actually owns and maintains — instead of the patchwork three different installers left behind.
Backup & disaster recovery
Sales data, inventory records, and employee files backed up automatically and actually test-restored — so a dead hard drive or a ransomware hit is a recoverable problem, not a catastrophe that closes you for days.
PCI DSS, employee data, and the breach you can't afford
If you accept credit or debit cards — and you do — PCI DSS applies. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requires network segmentation between cardholder data and everything else, access controls, encryption, and regular vulnerability assessments. Your payment processor may handle some of this, but the responsibility for your local network, your POS configuration, and your Wi-Fi segmentation stays with you. A breach that exposes card data triggers processor fines, forensic investigation costs, and the kind of headlines that close a location.
Employee personally identifiable information carries its own obligations. Texas data breach notification law requires you to notify affected individuals if Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, or financial account information is exposed — and with high staff turnover, that data accumulates fast in back-office systems nobody secures or purges.
IronPoint handles the security your payment processor assumes you already have: network segmentation, access controls, endpoint protection, and documentation that proves it. The $750 Security & AI Audit maps your actual exposure — where card data flows, what your guest Wi-Fi can reach, and what employee data is sitting unprotected — credited toward onboarding if you move forward.

Frequently asked questions
What does IT support cost for a small retail store or restaurant?
Managed plans run a flat $95 to $200 per user per month depending on the level of support and security you need. For a restaurant with a few POS terminals and a back-office PC, the monthly cost is predictable and usually less than what you spend on emergency break-fix calls over a year. The free assessment gives you an exact written quote.
Can you support our POS system?
We manage everything your POS depends on — the network, the terminals, the back-office server, and the security around all of it. When the POS software itself needs vendor support, we coordinate that call so you stop being the go-between. The finger-pointing between your POS vendor, your internet provider, and your camera installer ends because one team owns the whole environment.
How do you secure guest Wi-Fi without making it complicated for customers?
Proper network segmentation — your guest Wi-Fi runs on a completely separate network from your POS, cameras, and back-office systems. Customers connect the same way they always have, but they cannot reach anything that matters. This is a PCI DSS expectation, not a nice-to-have, and most retail and restaurant locations we assess do not have it configured correctly.
We have multiple locations. Can you manage all of them?
Yes. Every location gets the same monitoring, patching, and support under one agreement, with a single dashboard and a single point of contact. On-site service covers the Killeen-Temple corridor, and remote support handles the rest. One invoice, one team, consistent security across every store or restaurant.
