Burger King Franchisee Keeps Guests Connected with Public Internet Access

Strategic Restaurants Acquisition Corp. Holdings, Inc., is now rolling out MegaPath’s Managed WiFi HotSpots in key locations to provide public Internet access to its customers. Strategic Restaurants also uses MegaPath’s private MPLS network and Managed Security Service in all of its 280 Burger King restaurants located throughout the country.

 

“Whether it’s reading the news, catching-up on corporate e-mail or updating their social media sites, people today want to stay connected when they are away from home or the office,” says David Knutson, director of IS, Strategic Restaurants. “Now, with MegaPath’s Managed WiFi HotSpots, we are giving our customers a way to be both productive and social at the same time when they dine in one of our restaurants. Adding this offering was a natural extension of our existing relationship with the company as they currently provide our MPLS VPN and Managed Security Services. Overall, MegaPath has greatly improved how we operate our business and provide value-add services to our customers.”

 

In 2008, Strategic Restaurants implemented MegaPath’s PCI-compliant MPLS VPN network to improve performance and reduce costs. By moving from satellite to a fully-managed broadband and managed security service, Strategic Restaurants has more bandwidth to run applications such as inventory and sales figures, as well as processing credit card information that are vital to the daily operations of their business.
