Restaurant remodels + commercial technology

Your remodel has enough moving parts. Technology should be ready when the doors open.

Orlando-based field support for AV, network equipment, and POS hardware. We help owners and general contractors coordinate installations, solve site issues, and prepare for handoff.

Field support that fits the build schedule.

Displays, sound, network equipment, and POS hardware each have their own vendors and dependencies. We help bring the technology scope into the job-site conversation early, then support installation and verification as the space takes shape.

FOR OWNERS

Get the technology ready for service.

We discuss what needs to work at opening, review equipment and site readiness, and help move AV and IT installation issues toward resolution.

FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Keep the handoffs clear.

We coordinate on-site requirements with your schedule and other trades, flag dependencies early, and communicate what is complete or still needed.

Experience in hospitality spaces

Earlier projects through EFX Lighting & Design brought custom Aquallusion lighting into bars and entertainment venues. These photos show lighting work, separate from our current AV and IT field services.

How we work

Clear scope. Careful execution. A clean handoff.

Led by David McKnight, we bring years of hands-on technology work and business ownership to the job site. Remodels depend on construction schedules, access, vendor readiness, and the people who will use the systems on opening day.

  1. Understand the siteReview equipment, access, dependencies, and the expected outcome.
  2. Coordinate the installationCommunicate with the project team and address issues as they arise.
  3. Verify the handoffCheck the work, document open items, and leave the space ready for the next step.
