    Project Overview

    The Garrison is a restaurant inside Tega Cay Golf Club in Tega Cay, South Carolina — part of the growing York County corridor south of Charlotte. Royal Nerds was brought in to build the restaurant's entire technology backbone from the ground up: network design and installation, structured data cabling across all service areas, Toast POS system setup and configuration, and Fluke DSX-5000 network certification with full documentation.

    The Project

    Tega Cay Golf Club needed a restaurant-grade technology foundation for The Garrison — a venue that would serve golfers, members, and the local community. The infrastructure had to support reliable payment processing during peak hours, kitchen operations that move fast, and a hospitality experience that runs smoothly from open to close.

    The scope included designing the network architecture, running certified data cable to every POS station, kitchen area, WiFi access point, and back-of-house workstation, installing and configuring the Toast POS system for the restaurant's menu and floor plan, and certifying every cable run to commercial standards.

    Royal Nerds handled the project end to end — no third-party subcontractors, no handoff confusion. One team, one point of contact, from site survey to final documentation handoff.

    What We Delivered

    Network Design & Installation

    Designed and deployed the core network infrastructure including routing, switching, firewall configuration, and network segmentation for restaurant operations, guest connectivity, and back-of-house management.

    Structured Data Cabling

    Professional data cabling installed throughout the restaurant — POS stations, kitchen display areas, WiFi access points, back-of-house systems, and security pathways. All runs terminated, dressed, and labeled to commercial standards.

    Toast POS Setup & Configuration

    Toast POS terminals mounted, connected, and configured for The Garrison's menu structure, floor layout, and payment processing. Kitchen printers, receipt printers, and Toast hardware fully integrated with the new network.

    Fluke DSX-5000 Network Certification

    Every cable run tested with Fluke Networks DSX-5000 and certified to TIA/EIA-568 standards. Complete test reports, cable labels, patch panel maps, and as-built documentation delivered at project handoff.

    How We Executed the Project

    The Garrison project followed Royal Nerds' standard restaurant deployment process — the same methodology we use for every hospitality client in the Charlotte metro and across the Carolinas.

    1

    Site survey and network design

    Royal Nerds surveyed the Tega Cay Golf Club facility to plan cable pathways, rack placement, POS terminal locations, WiFi access point positions, and network segmentation for restaurant, bar, and back-of-house zones.

    2

    Structured data cabling installation

    Professional-grade data cabling was pulled, terminated, and dressed throughout the restaurant — covering POS stations, kitchen display areas, WiFi access points, back-of-house connectivity, and security system pathways.

    3

    Toast POS setup and configuration

    Toast POS terminals were mounted, connected, and configured for The Garrison's menu, floor plan, and payment processing. Kitchen printers, receipt printers, and Toast hardware were integrated with the new network infrastructure.

    4

    Fluke DSX-5000 network certification

    Every cable run was tested with Fluke Networks DSX-5000 and certified to TIA/EIA-568 standards. Test reports, cable labels, and patch panel maps were delivered as final project documentation.

    Why Restaurant Network Infrastructure Matters

    A restaurant's technology infrastructure is invisible when it works and catastrophic when it fails. POS terminals that freeze during the dinner rush, WiFi that drops Toast Go handhelds, or kitchen displays that lose connection during peak service — these are not minor inconveniences. They directly cost revenue and damage guest experience.

    The Garrison project demonstrates what a proper restaurant deployment looks like: purpose-built network design, professionally installed and certified cabling, POS hardware that is integrated (not just plugged in), and documentation that makes future troubleshooting and expansion straightforward.

    Royal Nerds has installed this type of infrastructure for dozens of restaurants across the Charlotte metro — from fast-casual concepts to full-service dining to entertainment venues. Every project follows the same certified, documented process.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What IT services did Royal Nerds provide for The Garrison at Tega Cay Golf Club?

    Royal Nerds completed a full infrastructure deployment for The Garrison restaurant at Tega Cay Golf Club including network design and installation, structured data cabling with Cat6/Cat6A runs, Toast POS system setup and configuration, and Fluke DSX-5000 network certification with full documentation. The project covered all restaurant and bar service areas to support POS terminals, WiFi, and back-of-house operations.

    Does Royal Nerds provide IT and data cabling services in Tega Cay SC?

    Yes. Royal Nerds serves Tega Cay, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, and all of York County in South Carolina as part of the greater Charlotte metro service area. Charlotte-based technicians provide rapid response for site surveys, installations, and ongoing IT support across the state line. Royal Nerds has completed projects throughout North and South Carolina since 2004.

    Can Royal Nerds set up Toast POS for restaurants in the Charlotte area?

    Yes. Royal Nerds has extensive experience installing and configuring Toast POS systems for Charlotte-area restaurants. This includes network preparation with properly placed data drops, POS terminal mounting and connectivity, kitchen display system integration, payment processing verification, and WiFi configuration for handheld Toast Go devices. Past Toast POS projects include The Garrison, The Office Craft Bar, Clutch Kitchen, and Half Shell Restaurant.

    What does network certification mean for a restaurant cabling project?

    Network certification means every cable run in the building is tested with professional equipment (Royal Nerds uses Fluke Networks DSX-5000) and verified to meet TIA/EIA-568 performance standards. The test covers wiremap, length, insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk. Certification proves the cable will reliably carry network traffic and PoE power at rated speeds. You receive a test report for every run, plus cable labels and patch panel maps — documentation that makes future troubleshooting and expansion dramatically easier.

    How long does a restaurant network and cabling project typically take?

    A restaurant network and data cabling project like The Garrison typically takes 2–5 days depending on the number of drops, building layout, and POS system complexity. Royal Nerds can work after-hours or in phases to avoid disrupting service. The Garrison project included network infrastructure, data cabling for all service areas, Toast POS setup, and Fluke certification — all coordinated to align with the restaurant's opening schedule.
