Nando’s will be using Cradlepoint’s E300 routers to provide it’s restaurants with a unified and stable communications platform across all 279 sites in South Africa.

As restaurants battle for market share the demand on technology has surged, with modern restaurants now requiring support for point-of-sale systems, back-office PCs, smart ovens, IoT devices, guest WiFi and online ordering. For Nando’s to take advantage of its technology-driven establishment it needed reliable connectivity that could be scaled up and down depending on demand across all its restaurants. A task that is incredibly difficult for remote restaurants with limited wired infrastructure.
