The buildout ends with a working network and a binder of drawings. Some New York restaurants stop there. Others want someone watching that network every week after opening. This page describes the managed IT plan ClearMax Labs offers for that, as an option, never a condition of the buildout.

What the plan covers
- Network monitoring: the firewall, the switch, the access points and the internet line are watched, so a failing port or a dropped connection is seen before a Friday service.
- Cybersecurity: updates for the firewall and the back-office computer, protection on that computer, and a regular review of who still has accounts and door credentials after staff turnover.
- Backups: the office computer and the camera recorder settings, kept where a dead drive cannot take them.
- Changes: a new terminal, a moved printer, a second access point on the patio, handled against the same drawings.
What stays with others
The POS software, its menus and its payments stay with the POS company and its support desk. Reservation and delivery apps stay with their makers. The plan covers the network and the hardware those services run on.
How it is set up
The plan starts after handover, from the records the buildout produced, so nothing has to be rediscovered. Its scope and price are set from the restaurant's own device count and hours, and agreed in writing before it begins.
