Case Study: a large restaurant chain improves customer experience with Fortinet secure networking

a large restaurant chain improves in-restaurant networking across nearly 1,000 locations with Fortinet

A U.K. restaurant chain with nearly 1,000 locations faced customer frustration due to unreliable in-restaurant Wi-Fi, which hampered a new mobile ordering app. The chain's single network engineer also struggled with managing and troubleshooting connectivity across hundreds of diverse sites. They turned to Fortinet for a unified secure networking solution.

Fortinet implemented a solution using FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls with Secure SD-WAN, FortiSwitch switches, and FortiAP access points, all managed centrally with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer. This provided the restaurant chain with faster, more reliable networks, a better customer experience for digital innovations, and an improved security posture. The integrated system also streamlined the addition of new locations to the growing chain.
