Ajax Systems delivers unified protection for German Doner Kebab restaurants

As German Doner Kebab expanded its presence across the UK, managing security and safety systems across multiple sites had become an increasingly complex task. The client wanted a single platform that could provide instant alarms and real-time monitoring of all locations at once.

Each restaurant required a solution that would include intrusion protection, video surveillance and fire safety. At the same time, fire safety measures had to be integrated with each facility’s essential infrastructure, such as the installed fire suppression systems.

In order to meet the client’s requirements for centralised management and integrated protection, the project has been built around the Ajax EN54 Line. The solution was delivered by Squire Group. Initially, the project covered 14 restaurants across the UK. Following successful deployment, the client then approved a phased roll-out plan for additional locations, with Ajax Systems set to become the standard for future restaurant openings.

Single hub

EN54 Fire Hub Jeweller, a touchscreen fire alarm control panel, anchors each installation. Beyond fire safety, the control panel also supports intrusion protection and video surveillance devices. As a result, the entire security infrastructure is deployed via a single hub at each location.

Staff at each location interact with the system using KeyPad TouchScreen Jeweller. Through the touchscreen interface, restaurant employees manage security modes via personal access devices or codes, check system status and view key information concerning system events.

For fire safety, each restaurant has been equipped with EN54 FireProtect Jeweller point smoke and heat detectors with built-in sounders, as well as Manual Call Point (Red) Jeweller devices to manually trigger alarms.

Audible and visual alarms

EN54 FireProtect (Sounder/VAD) Jeweller devices deliver audible and visual alarms, enabling visitors and staff alike to evacuate quickly in case of danger.

Through EN54 I/O Module Jeweller, the Ajax Systems solution has been integrated with sprinkler systems, fire suppression, smoke extraction and music cut-off systems. This set-up ensures a co-ordinated emergency response to further protect all individuals on-site.

In order to protect restaurants against intrusion outside of normal business hours, each location is equipped with Superior DoorProtect Jeweller and Superior MotionCam (PhOD) Jeweller detectors. When motion is detected, the client receives visual verification in the Ajax Systems app along with the alarm, helping them to quickly assess the situation. Superior StreetSiren Plus Jeweller has also been installed to provide a loud on-site deterrent and immediately draw attention to system events.

Video surveillance 

Video surveillance is built around the Ajax Systems NVR (16-CH). TurretCam security cameras are installed across each site, providing coverage from every angle of each restaurant. The cameras fit naturally into the interiors, preserving the German Doner Kebab brand’s visual identity.

All restaurants are linked to the client’s account and available in the Ajax Systems app. With a single app, management teams can view fire and intrusion events, access video streams and remain informed about the status of every location in real-time.

The fully wireless architecture employed simplifies deployment in both operating restaurants and new locations under construction. Installation takes less time and causes minimal disruption to business operations.

As the restaurant chain grows, the same Ajax Systems architecture can be quickly replicated at new sites, ensuring consistent security and fire safety standards across all locations.
