Industries We Serve
Restaurants deal with cash handling, kitchen fire risk, and after-hours break-ins on a regular basis. The right security system protects your staff, your customers, and your business.
What We Hear
Restaurants handle a lot of cash every day. Without cameras over the register and POS stations, it is very hard to know if cash is going missing or if orders are being voided for the wrong reasons. Cameras do not just catch dishonest behavior. They also protect good employees from false accusations. When there is a dispute over a transaction, you have footage to settle it fast.
Restaurants are a common target after closing. Equipment is expensive and cash is sometimes left on site overnight. A visible alarm system and cameras at every entry point change the odds. If someone does break in, a monitored alarm means police are on the way in minutes, not hours. Security cameras also help with vandalism claims and insurance disputes.
Commercial kitchens run with open flames, hot oil, and high-heat equipment every single shift. That makes fire one of the biggest risks a restaurant faces. A properly installed commercial fire alarm system catches smoke and heat fast, giving your staff time to evacuate and giving the fire department time to respond. This is not just about protecting your building. It is about protecting the people working in it.
Slip-and-falls, altercations, delivery disputes, and accidents happen in restaurants. Without camera footage, these situations often come down to he-said-she-said. High-definition cameras document what actually happened, which protects you from false claims and gives you solid evidence if you ever need it. Many restaurant owners find that cameras paid for themselves the first time a liability claim came up.

How It Works
At Lint Security, every install starts with a site survey. We come to your restaurant, walk the space, and figure out where cameras, alarm sensors, and fire detection need to go. Every layout is a little different, and a quick-service place has different needs than a full-service dining room.
For most restaurants, we focus on the front of house, back of house, and all entry and exit points. That means cameras over the POS, in the kitchen area, at the back door, and in the parking lot. The alarm system covers all entry points and motion detection after hours. Fire alarms go wherever code requires and wherever the risk is highest.
We handle all the wiring ourselves. After installation, we walk your manager through the system so the right people know how to use it from day one. Here are the three services that most restaurants need:

Why Lint Security
Anyone can sell you a security system. Not everyone will still be there when something goes wrong ten years later. We will be.
National companies sell accounts, close branches, and route you to out-of-state call centers. Lint Security has been here since 1985 and grew entirely on word of mouth.
From the first call to the final installation, every person you interact with is a Lint employee. Not a contractor. Not a call center. Someone who works here every day.
When your alarm goes off, our monitoring partner Criticom calls you right away. If you do not answer, they send police or fire. No app alert. A real person.
ADT and Vivint sell you a package over the phone. We come to your property first and build a system around what you actually need.
We hold a GA LVA license plus Access Control, and CCTV certifications. Every job is done by our own technicians.
Security is a significant decision. Most people have questions before they're ready to call. Here are the ones we hear most.
See all FAQsCover the POS stations and cash drawers, the kitchen and back-of-house entrance, the back door, the parking lot, and the main dining room entrance. These spots cover your highest-risk areas for theft, liability, and after-hours intrusions. We design camera placements for both coverage and evidence quality. See our commercial security camera systems page for more on what we install and how the systems work.
At minimum, you want door and window contacts on every entry point, motion detection in the dining room and kitchen, and a monitored alarm that alerts our monitoring company when triggered. Restaurants that handle significant cash after hours should also consider interior motion sensors near the office or safe area. Our commercial security systems page walks through the options in more detail.
Yes. Commercial kitchens are one of the highest fire-risk environments around. A commercial fire alarm system is typically required by local code and has to meet NFPA 72 standards to pass inspection. Our systems include smoke detectors, heat sensors, and flame detectors positioned where the risk is highest. We also run daily test signals so you know the system is working. Visit our commercial fire alarms page for full details.
Yes. We set up remote access so you can view live and recorded footage from your phone or computer. You also get access to the app to manage your system, check who opened or closed the building, and get alerts when something triggers. If you have multiple locations, you can pull up any of them from the same app. Our security monitoring page covers how remote access and monitoring work together.
Yes. We serve restaurants and food service businesses across North Georgia, including Gainesville, Cornelia, Cleveland, Dahlonega, and surrounding areas. Contact us to set up a site survey at your location.
We will come to your location, walk the space, and tell you exactly what you need. No packages, no guesswork, just a system that fits your restaurant.
