Recently, my friends have been taking to ordering delivery online for midnight snacks. Since they live the city, most restaurants and fast food chains deliver 24 hours a day seven days a week so they are assured of eating something whenever they need to burn the midnight oil when they are working and get hungry.
This is one of the disadvantages in living in the suburbs. Most stores close at 9PM and you have no chance in ordering delivery anywhere unless you get out of the house and drive to their place, granted they are still open.
Anyway, a friend who works as an IT specialist told us they were the ones who set up the online delivery system for most food chains in the country, They have recommended the best network monitoring tools and relay systems for these chain of restaurants so they are guaranteed that no lag time, mix-ups and downtime will be experienced, aside from the payment gateway.
These chains of restaurants now employ NS specialists who do windows server monitoring and VMware monitoring to make sure all systems run smoothly. It can be a big investment but the return of investment (ROI) is quick and boost of revenues are faster.
