Restaurant Cabling and Network Installation for Unc's Pizza

Unc's Pizza just opened, and we handled the technology side of the buildout from bare walls forward. Thirty-seven Cat6 data drops across two floors, a network closet with a rack, a PoE switch, and Wi-Fi 7 access points, fifteen cameras on their own recorder, and business phones with an auto attendant.

Core Objective

Design the cabling, network, cameras, and phones together instead of stitching them together after the fact, so the shop opened on time with one team behind all of it.

Client Snapshot

A brand new pizza shop, wired from an empty shell.

Client Name Unc's Pizza
Location Detroit, Michigan
Industry Restaurant, pizzeria, food and beverage
Previous Setup None. New construction, bare walls, two floors
Project Type Ground-up buildout: structured cabling, network, CCTV, and VoIP
Ongoing Service Managed network service after opening

Reason for engagement: The point of sale, printers, phones, cameras, and access points all land on the same cable. Unc's Pizza wanted one team to run that cable, build the rack, and program the network instead of several contractors pointing at each other while an opening date got closer.

Services Delivered

Cabling, network, cameras, and phones designed together.

A ground-up buildout is where one vendor stops being a slogan and starts saving actual days. One crew ran the cable, built and labeled the rack, mounted the cameras, and programmed the network.

Project Overview

A new build with a hard opening date and one crew on site.

Environment
New Build
Two floors of empty shell, wired before the walls closed up.
Priority
Opening Day
Every system live and tested before the first customer walked in.
  • Run structured cabling to every device location on both floors.
  • Build a network closet that a technician can read at a glance.
  • Get cameras, phones, and Wi-Fi live and tested before opening day.
Scope of Work

The work covered everything that lands on a cable.

Structured Cabling

  • Ran 37 Cat6 data drops across two floors.
  • Served the point of sale, printers, phones, cameras, and access points.
  • Terminated, tested, and labeled every drop.

Network Closet

  • Built and labeled a rack in a dedicated network closet.
  • Installed a PoE switch to power cameras and phones.
  • Programmed and documented the network configuration.

Wi-Fi & Cameras

  • Mounted four Wi-Fi 7 access points for staff and guests.
  • Installed 15 cameras on a dedicated recorder.
  • Placed coverage around the floor, kitchen, and entries.

Business Phones

  • Installed business VoIP phones throughout the shop.
  • Built an auto attendant for incoming calls.
  • Handled setup so phones were answering on day one.
Results & Outcomes

One crew, one cable plant, and a shop that opened with its technology already working.

Normally a buildout like this means several contractors pointing at each other while the opening date gets closer. Here the cabling, network, cameras, and phones were designed together, installed by one team, and handed over as a single working system.

Before

  • An empty shell with no cabling, no network, and no phones.
  • A point of sale, printers, cameras, and access points that all needed to land on the same cable plant.
  • An opening date that could not move, with multiple trades on site.

After

  • 37 Cat6 drops, a labeled rack, PoE switching, and Wi-Fi 7 across two floors.
  • Fifteen cameras on a dedicated recorder and business phones with an auto attendant.
  • Managed network service watching all of it now that they are serving customers.
Hardware & Systems Used

Equipment installed cleanly and labeled from day one.

Ongoing Support

The team that built it is the team that supports it.

Managed network service keeps an eye on the switch, access points, and connectivity now that Unc's Pizza is open. Anything that needs attention goes to the same people who ran the cable and programmed the network.

Support model: Cabling, network, cameras, and phones supported by one local team, so there is no finger-pointing between vendors when something needs a look.

Opening a new spot or building out a space in the next year?

Tell us the timeline. The two things nobody can speed up with money are the internet circuit and porting your phone numbers, and both want more lead time than people expect. We will map the cabling, network, cameras, and phones together so your opening date holds. One vendor. All your tech.
