QSR Technology Solutions for Franchise Operators
The Technology Behind Every Transaction
Technology Systems CGS Provides for QSR Operators
Drive-Thru Systems
The drive-thru is where most QSR revenue is made. According to Revenue Management Solutions, drive-thru accounts for 65% of total fast-food sales. A degrading headset system, a speaker post losing audio clarity, or an order confirmation board that runs slow — none of those announce themselves. They compound quietly until throughput drops and nobody knows why.
CGS installs and services HME and PAR drive-thru communication systems for single and multi-unit QSR operators. We are certified on both platforms, carry parts inventory for the most common service needs, and maintain a 97% first-trip resolution rate across 500+ drive-thru maintenance customers. According to a 2024 drive-thru trend study cited by PAR Technology, a 30-second delay in service costs a single location approximately $32,000 per year in lost revenue. That is the cost of a system nobody has looked at in a while.
CCTV and Security Camera Systems
CGS installs and manages IP camera and CCTV systems for QSR operators across Georgia, South Carolina, and Ohio. For McDonald's franchisees, the NRBES 2027 mandate requires full migration from analog to IP-CCTV by January 1, 2027, covering 16 specific camera zones with defined storage retention requirements. CGS has OTP Pro certified technicians on staff completing NRBES compliance installations across our service area now.
For all QSR operators, we integrate Solink AI analytics with POS event linking — every transaction linked to the corresponding camera footage for loss prevention, exception reporting, and operational auditing. We manage 12,000+ active cameras across our service footprint.
Digital Menu Boards
CGS designs, installs, and manages digital menu boards for QSR operators including indoor configurations, outdoor drive-thru lane boards, and content management. A well-configured menu board guides customers to faster decisions. A cluttered, degraded, or poorly maintained board creates hesitation that adds seconds to every transaction.
Commercial WiFi and Network Infrastructure
The network is the infrastructure everything else runs on. Drive-thru communications, POS transactions, mobile ordering, kitchen displays, and loyalty program connectivity all depend on a network designed for QSR operating conditions — not a consumer router that fails during the lunch rush. CGS installs commercial WiFi and structured cabling for QSR environments across our service area, with network segmentation keeping POS, kitchen, guest, and management traffic separate.
POS System Installation
CGS installs POS hardware that integrates with drive-thru systems, payment processing, and back-of-house operations. New builds, remodels, and system upgrades — we handle the full installation and ensure end-to-end testing before opening day.
Structured Cabling
Every technology system in a QSR depends on cabling that was run correctly. Cat6 runs that fail at Gigabit speeds under load, PoE runs to cameras that lose connectivity when the building temperature changes, drive-thru cabling that was never properly shielded — these are the problems that create repeat service calls with no obvious cause. CGS installs and certifies every cabling run before sign-off.
Background Music
CGS is a Mood Media franchise partner providing professionally licensed commercial background music for QSR operators in Georgia, South Carolina, Ohio, and across our Great Plains franchise territory covering Kansas and Nebraska. Equipment, installation, licensing compliance, and ongoing support — fully managed.
McDonald's NRBES 2027 — Act Now
The January 1, 2027 deadline for McDonald's NRBES IP-CCTV compliance is less than a year away. CGS has OTP Pro certified technicians on staff and is completing installations across Georgia, South Carolina, and Ohio. Every month of delay reduces scheduling flexibility and increases the risk of a flagged violation affecting franchisee standing with their Franchise Business Partner.
