Quick-service & fast-casual — one turnkey program across every location
QSR and fast-casual operators run standardized menus, standardized kitchens, and standardized POS — the security and life-safety stack should match. Fireside Security delivers hood integration, POS-linked video, cloud access, and 24/7 monitoring as a repeatable program you can roll out across every store from one dashboard.
Franchise and multi-unit operators lose more time fighting inconsistency than fighting actual incidents — different DVRs at every store, different alarm vendors on different bills, and different door codes taped inside every back office. We fix that with one hardware standard, one monitoring account, and one cloud dashboard across the whole footprint.
What we deliver
01 · Kitchen hood + fire alarm integration
UL 300 hood suppression tied into the fire alarm panel with automatic gas shut-off, appliance shut-down, and central-station reporting — identical spec at every store.
02 · POS-linked loss-prevention video
IP cameras with POS overlay on every register and drive-thru window. Voids, refunds, and cash-drawer events indexed by transaction, employee, and store.
03 · Cloud access for back-of-house
Mobile credentials for crew, time-scoped access for vendors, remote lock/unlock for GMs and district managers. Full audit trail per door, per person.
04 · Drive-thru & lot coverage
Cameras purpose-built for drive-thru order confusion, walk-off, and after-hours lot incidents — with retention tuned to your insurance carrier's requirements.
05 · 24/7 monitoring & new-store rollout
Central-station monitoring for fire, burglar, and hold-up across the portfolio, plus a repeatable new-store opening package your GC and construction team can plan around.

QSR franchise · 27 locations
POS-linked loss-prevention video across a California fast-casual franchise
Before
Cash and inventory shrink at roughly 2.1% of sales. No way to tie voids or refunds back to camera footage without pulling DVRs on-site — a week per investigation.
After
IP cameras with POS overlay on every register, indexed by transaction, employee, and exception. Managers review flagged voids and refunds from any browser inside 30 seconds.

"The POS overlay paid for the whole rollout in the first quarter. Exception reports that used to take a week now take a coffee break."
Drive-thru chain · 9 new-builds
Standardized fire, hood, and video prewire across a drive-thru new-build program
Before
Every new-build had a different low-voltage sub. Inconsistent hood-to-panel wiring, missed C-10 inspections, and cameras that never talked to the corporate VMS.
After
One prewire spec, one C-10 crew, one commissioning checklist. Every store opens with the hood tied to the panel, cameras on the corporate VMS, and the AHJ signed off at first walk.

Frequently asked questions
Can you standardize a spec across our entire footprint?
Yes. We publish a hardware and configuration spec approved by your brand or ops team, then deploy it identically at every location — same panel, same cameras, same access controller, same dashboard. New stores get the same package on day one.
Do you handle new-store openings and remodels?
Yes. We coordinate with your GC and construction PM to phase rough-in, trim, panel programming, and central-station activation so the store passes inspection and turns over on the scheduled opening date.
Can our GMs and district managers see camera feeds remotely?
Yes. Role-based cloud access gives GMs their store, district managers their district, and corporate its full footprint — from any browser or mobile device, with no on-site DVR to VPN into.
How do you integrate with our POS?
We support the major QSR POS platforms (NCR, Toast, Square, PAR, Oracle Micros, and others) via their standard overlay or exception-reporting integrations, so every transaction is timestamped against the corresponding register camera.
