Case Study: Restaurant Magic achieves 15x faster cloud data migrations and AI-ready storage with NetApp (Azure NetApp Files)

Restaurant Magic - Customer Case Study

Restaurant Magic, a PAR Technology Company, provides cloud-based back-office and ERP solutions for large restaurant chains and needed to migrate terabytes of customer data into Azure with minimal downtime. The challenge was to move large, growing datasets quickly and securely, keep data accessible during transfer, scale to fluctuating demand, and lay the groundwork for AI-driven features that improve inventory, staffing, and guest experience.

By deploying Azure NetApp Files (ANF) in under an hour, Restaurant Magic cut migration times from three–four hours to about 15 minutes (up to 15× faster), preserved data accessibility and security during transfers, and avoided large capital expenditures on on-premises storage. The result was dramatically faster, lower-cost migrations, scalable, pay-as-you-go enterprise storage, and a platform ready to support AI/ML use cases like inventory optimization and staff scheduling.
