Summary

The restaurant industry is increasingly adopting mobile technologies to enhance the customer experience, with 88% of frontline employees using mobile devices to compete on the customer experience. However, many restaurants are sacrificing mobile security for speed and convenience, with 40% cutting corners on security measures. This can lead to costly cybersecurity exploits, data breaches, and a loss of brand value, with some brands still struggling to regain customer trust and profits years after a breach. Cloud restaurant solutions often lack key security capabilities, making them vulnerable to device tampering, malware, and other vulnerabilities. To avoid these risks, restaurants need to build security into their initial requirements, harden devices, and take a platform approach to dedicated device orchestration.
