From background music to big game broadcasts, custom AV solutions play a huge role in shaping your restaurant’s customer experience. A well-planned AV system doesn’t just look and sound better—it helps your staff run things smoothly, keeps guests engaged, and even boosts your bottom line.

At Advanced Tech, we specialize in creating custom AV solutions that match your restaurant’s layout, vibe, and operational needs. Whether you’re opening a new location or upgrading outdated equipment, we’re here to help make your system seamless, smart, and staff-friendly.

Here are some expert tips to help you get the most from your AV setup:

 

1. Sync Your TVs for a Seamless Experience

Don’t let screen delay ruin the game-day vibes. Use a centralized video distribution system to sync all your displays perfectly—especially in sports bars or casual dining spaces.

 

2. Simplify Controls with a Universal Remote or App

Skip the clutter of five remotes. Opt for an all-in-one remote or a tablet-based control system. These systems make it easy for your staff to:

  • Adjust volume by zone
  • Sync or change TV channels
  • Switch between music, sports, and menus
  • Avoid accidental resets or tech headaches

3. Use Zoning for Audio Control

With multi-zone audio, you can set different volumes in the dining area, bar, patio, or waiting area. Guests enjoy a better atmosphere, and staff don’t have to shout over the music.

 

4. Ensure Even Speaker Coverage

Spread out speakers strategically so the volume feels balanced throughout the restaurant. No more dead zones or blast zones. An uneven audio experience can make one table feel like they’re sitting next to a concert speaker while another can’t hear anything at all.

 

5. Include Staff Training in Your AV Rollout

Even the best tech is useless if your team doesn’t know how to use it. Ensure every shift leader or manager is trained on operating the AV system—from syncing TVs to managing audio zones. A quick reference sheet or cheat card by the control system can make a world of difference during peak hours.

💡 Pro Tip: Let Advanced Tech handle setup and staff training so everyone feels confident using the system day-to-day.
