POS, payment, reservations, payroll: your critical systems are exposed every day. Concrete, accessible cybersecurity — without becoming a part-time CTO.
01 —Your concrete challenges
Restaurants and independent hospitality
Your POS is connected and vulnerable.
Modern point-of-sale terminals are computers with Wi-Fi, often sharing the same network as customer Wi-Fi. A POS attack can cut payments for an entire service — and losses run into thousands per evening.
Card fraud comes back to you.
If your terminal is compromised, customer card fraud comes back as chargebacks and trust loss. PCI DSS is your provider's job — but operational responsibility is shared.
Reservation data contains personal information.
Booking platforms, VIP files, card numbers stored for late cancellations — all personal databases subject to GDPR. A leak triggers notification and lasting reputation damage.
Your team rotates, staff Wi-Fi is shared.
Seasonal staff, extras, interns — access to systems changes every month. Without clear access policy and clean revocation, credentials linger everywhere.
Why it matters
Restaurants are the perfect combination: daily payment flow, abundant personal data, rotating team, historically light IT structure. The sector is discovering its own cyber exposure — often at the moment of an incident.
Our recommendation
Essentials is the right format for most independent restaurants and hotels: it covers essential controls (2FA on professional accounts, backup, light GDPR register, emergency plan) in 7 days of effort, for €297. For multi-site groups or hotels with complex PMS, Ally becomes relevant.
