Jumbo Group of Restaurants has modernised its network infrastructure with Zyxel Networks’ Nebula networking solution.
With more than 20 restaurant locations spread across Singapore, Jumbo Group was facing the challenge of managing a complex web of networking equipment at each site.
Previously, its IT team had to log in to each device individually, a time-consuming and inefficient process that made it difficult to ensure consistent connectivity and smooth operations.
By implementing Zyxel’s Nebula cloud-based networking platform, the restaurant chain has transformed its network management approach. Nebula allows for centralised monitoring, automated deployment and remote management of all network devices across every restaurant location.
This shift has dramatically reduced the workload for the IT staff, freeing them from repetitive manual tasks and enabling them to focus on more strategic initiatives. The centralised control means that network configurations and updates can be rolled out to all locations simultaneously, ensuring uniform security and performance standards.
The benefits extend beyond IT operations. With the deployment of Zyxel’s WAX510D WiFi 6 access points and XGS1930-28HP smart managed PoE switches, the group has significantly enhanced both staff and guest connectivity.
The WiFi 6 technology delivers faster, more reliable wireless coverage, even during busy dining hours, while the smart switches optimise power management and network performance. Restaurant staff can rely on stable connections for their daily tasks while guests can enjoy seamless internet access, contributing to a better dining experience.
Furthermore, Nebula’s intuitive management interface has simplified training for new IT staff and reduced ongoing maintenance efforts. Features such as one-click network topology documentation provide a clear overview of the entire infrastructure that makes troubleshooting and expansion much easier.
Real-time traffic optimisation and zero-touch deployment capabilities mean that new devices or locations can be integrated into the network quickly and efficiently, supporting Jumbo Group’s growth and digital transformation goals.
“Nebula has completely streamlined our IT operations. With centralised control, we can configure and monitor all network devices remotely, ensuring smooth restaurant operations and an exceptional dining experience for our customers,” said Nelson Tay, Assistant IT Manager of Jumbo Group of Restaurants.
