Hard Rock Café recently worked with ADT to deploy a standardized security system consisting of eight to 16 cameras, burglar alarms, and fire alarms throughout its cafes, hotels and casino franchises at 138 locations a 42 countries. As Hard Rock Café has completed consolidation of its security systems at its US facilities and is doing the same in Europe and Australia, working with ADT as its sole security provider across the globe.
Beginning with one café in London, Hard Rock Café has evolved into one of the most recognized brands of cafés, hotels and casinos. Over the past 35 years, each corporate-owned facility was responsible for its own security system, resulting in different approaches with little or no consistency. Its facilities range in size from 603.86 meters (6,500 square feet) to the largest one in Orlando at 1.37 acres (60,000 square feet).
Working with ADT as the single-point-of-contact has improved the day to day management of security systems across multiple Hard Rock Café locations. By providing a standardized system, with the same products and installation process, Hard Rock Café can offer a consistent and high level of security. The cameras are generally located at entrances and exits, POS and cash registers, while other cameras are in non-public spaces such as kitchens and service areas. All locations have DVRs that run the video over the Hard Rock Café corporate network. The video is monitored both locally and centrally at the corporate level. The Hard Rock Café corporate offices in Orlando, Florida have also deployed access control systems.
Worldwide locations from both ADT and the Hard Rock Café allow ADT experts and technical crews to be dispatched to the many Hard Rock locations around the globe. By consolidating with one global security provider, Hard Rock Café can rely on consistent global standards and expand beyond just physical security. The video cameras and digital recorders are used to document events for risk management purposes.
