Case Study: Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill achieves scalable employee training and reliable video security with Verkada

How a Top BBQ Restaurant Used Video Security to Build Scalable Employee Training Programs

Wood Ranch, a top-rated Zagat restaurant group with 16 locations serving about 60,000 diners a week, needed a scalable way to streamline employee training and ensure food safety after struggling with inconsistent, fragmented camera systems. IT Manager Scott Callegari chose Verkada’s cloud-backed hybrid video security platform to simplify multi-site management, surface events quickly, and support routine spot checks and training needs.

Verkada implemented a centralized solution with onboard solid‑state recording, unlimited cloud archiving, proactive system health alerts, and easy browser access, giving general managers controlled visibility into staff and inventory. As a result, Wood Ranch eliminated significant management overhead, resolved multiple operational bottlenecks, and now relies on reliable HD footage across all locations to protect the business and build scalable employee training programs.
