SmartCONNECT brings networking to NorthStar’s tech stack, because operators can’t afford to lose revenue due to internet outages.
CBS NorthStar and Milagro are teaming up to solve one of the most frustrating and costly problems in restaurants: losing your internet right in the middle of a rush. With SmartCONNECT and Milagro’s networking tools, NorthStar now gives operators not just the flexibility to run their business their way, but the rock-solid connectivity to keep it running, no matter what.
Point-of-sale, online orders, digital payments, none of it works without a stable connection. SmartCONNECT adds enterprise-grade network protection to NorthStar’s platform, making sure operators don’t just have great tools, they have the uptime to use them.
Here’s what operators get:
- Seamless connectivity with zero internet, phone, and network outages.
- Never lose any online or offline orders or disrupt credit card processing
- Real-time health monitoring to fix minor hiccups before they become big problems.
- Reliable networking so that orders keep coming – voice, first party, and third party online orders
“Connectivity shouldn’t be a gamble. When the internet goes down, operators lose more than an internet connection, they lose momentum, revenue, they lose momentum.” Said Anthony Presley, CTO at CBS NorthStar. “SmartCONNECT gives our customers peace of mind that their systems will stay up, running, and taking orders from first and third party systems, no matter what.”
This is enterprise networking made simple. This isn’t about patching holes when things go wrong, it’s about preventing the drop in the first place. SmartCONNECT helps operators stay connected, protected, and ahead of the chaos.
“If your tech stack can’t stay online, it’s not a tech stack, it’s a liability,” said Milagro CEO Hamed Mazrouei. “This partnership gives operators a true safety net, baked into the platform they already trust.”
“When internet and network outages take your restaurant offline, it creates chaos for your employees and guests, and you lose unrecoverable revenues” said Milagro CEO Hamed Mazrouei. “This partnership gives operators a true safety net, baked into the platform they already trust.”
Together, CBS NorthStar and Milagro are making restaurant connectivity invisible, and that’s exactly how it should be.
