OVERVIEW

From Milan to London’s Oxford Street

Kebhouze, an Italian kebab restaurant chain, has seen remarkable growth since its inception in Milan in 2021. With 24 sites across Italy and Spain, Kebhouze aimed to replicate this success in the UK, opening what is anticipated to be the nation’s largest kebab house on London’s Oxford Street.

Yet, their expansion came with significant IT infrastructure challenges, calling for expert intervention.

CHALLENGE

Entering a new market without the essentials

During the process of establishing a presence in London, Kebhouze faced challenges in finding an IT service provider capable of navigating the complexities of a new market.

Although London site plans possessed the majority of the electricity and network cabling, they were missing a number of critical IT infrastructure elements. These components were essential for maintaining business operations.

Cultural differences

Kebhouze was accustomed to the Italian business model, not the UK one.

Missing infrastructure

No WiFi, network sockets, CCTV, kiosks, EPOS systems or services were in place.

Three-storey site

A complex venue needing full coverage and performance on each floor.
