Running a restaurant is demanding work. Between managing staff, meeting health codes, and serving customers, owners in Minneapolis-Saint Paul already have their hands full. Unfortunately, rising incidents of theft, vandalism, and turnover-related risks have made security a growing concern. Too many restaurants rely on outdated systems that fail to address the challenges of today’s environment.
ACRT provides tailored solutions designed specifically for restaurants. Our focus is on closing the gaps that put your business at risk, while keeping security simple enough to support your daily operations.
Why Restaurants Need More Than Basic Security
Restaurants face a unique mix of challenges. You’re dealing with high foot traffic, late hours, and staff turnover rates that consistently outpace other industries. Keys go missing, side doors are left propped open during deliveries, and cameras often fail to capture the right angles. Each one of these issues can lead to costly losses or even compromise the safety of your team and guests.
Relying on generic systems or a patchwork of old equipment is not enough. One unlocked door or blind spot in coverage can undo everything you’ve built. That is why restaurants across Minneapolis-Saint Paul are turning to professional, integrated security solutions.
How ACRT Protects Restaurants
ACRT specializes in designing and supporting systems that match the realities of restaurant operations. We don’t just sell equipment — we build layers of protection that work together to reduce risk and simplify oversight.
- Video Surveillance That Works Where You Need It: Our camera systems are designed to cover entrances, exits, cash-handling areas, and dining spaces. Advanced monitoring and analytics help spot suspicious activity in real time, giving you visibility before problems escalate.
- Access Control Built for Shifts and Turnover: Instead of relying on physical keys, we set up secure, programmable entry methods. Access permissions update instantly when staff changes occur, ensuring that only the right people have access to restricted areas.
- Intrusion Detection After Hours: Restaurants are often vulnerable at night. Our intrusion systems safeguard back doors, delivery areas, and dining rooms when the lights are off. Alerts and notifications ensure you know what is happening, even when you’re not on site.
- Network Security and Cabling: Digital ordering and payment systems have become vital for restaurants, but they are also a target. We secure point-of-sale networks and provide structured cabling solutions that protect customer data while keeping your operation running smoothly.

A Safer Experience for Staff and Guests
Security is not just about loss prevention. It is about creating an environment where people feel safe. When employees know that back doors are secured, cameras are monitored, and access is controlled, they can focus on their work instead of distractions or fear. That confidence extends to your guests, who are far more likely to return when they feel comfortable in your restaurant.
Customers notice more than the food on their plate. They notice whether the parking lot is well lit, whether the space feels safe, and whether staff seem confident. By addressing security proactively, you reinforce your restaurant’s reputation and create the conditions for loyalty and repeat business.

We know the neighborhoods, the risks, and the regulations that matter most to your operation.
