Restaurant and cafe security systems: For effortless operations
Running a restaurant or cafe brings unique safety challenges – from busy kitchens with open flames and electrical appliances to open-door environments where staff and customers move freely throughout the day. At Nova Fire and Security, we design restaurant and cafe security systems that protect lives, assets, and reputations.
For over twenty years, we have supported hospitality venues across Surrey, Sussex, and the South East. We understand that downtime affects trade, so we work with discretion, efficiency, and open communication. We carry out installations outside trading hours or isolate small areas to minimise disruption.

Access control for restaurants and cafes
Access control helps separate public areas from back-of-house operations. We install systems ranging from single-door keypads to multi-site networks, using trusted brands such as Paxton. Whether you need to protect cash offices, kitchens, or stockrooms, access control allows you to track staff entry and exit times as you need. You can also restrict guest access to authorised areas only. Want to integrate with EPOS or back-office systems? We can also make that happen so you have complete oversight of your operations.
Our ongoing servicing includes firmware updates and lock checks, to keep your system reliable and insurance-compliant.
CCTV installation for restaurants
and cafes
We typically install IP-based cameras from trusted brands, offering subscription-free apps for live viewing. For advanced monitoring, we can integrate AI-driven services such as RE:SURE Guardian.
Our service includes:
- Diagnostic assessments: Rapid fault identification and resolution
- Component replacement: Cameras, recorders, cables, and power supplies
- System upgrades: Expanding existing systems or upgrading to higher resolution
- Remote troubleshooting: Many issues resolved without site visits
- Emergency callouts: Priority response for security system failures
Theft prevention in restaurants and cafes
Hospitality venues are vulnerable to both internal and external theft. Our solutions combine intruder alarms, CCTV, and access control to reduce risk and protect your revenue. We tailor systems to deter opportunistic theft, safeguard tills, and provide accountability for stock and staff areas. With remote app control, you can monitor activity anytime – reassuring for owners managing multiple sites.

Compliance is critical in hospitality. Our fire and security systems support legal and insurance obligations, including compliant building safety solutions in accordance with building regulations and Martyn’s Law.
Martyn’s Law, officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, requires certain venues to implement proportionate security measures. We advise on suitable systems, ensuring your business meets requirements without unnecessary cost.
We also work alongside third-party assessors for fire risk assessments, ensuring a joined-up approach to compliance.
