At APG, we recognize the juggernaut of the food and drink industry as we have seen big growth from our customers, whom now have franchises up and down the country.

Additionally, we recognize that restaurant business is made up by repeat business and this can only be achieved when the restaurant is being able to build a safe and inviting atmosphere, where patrons and staff feel comfortable and safe.

Any restaurant owner/manager will know there are various dangers and challenges when it comes to operating and running this type of business.  A restaurant can run it other problems such as Injuries and Liabilities, maintain a good reputation, food safety, cleanliness, Fire safety, Food storage & a multitude of other problems.

We believe in making restaurant owners working lives significantly easier & safely. As a group we have developed an advanced understanding of the problems associated with restaurant ownership and management, this knowledge has been acquired over the running of all of our divisions.

ARK has a variety of services that would be helpful to a restaurant of any size.

Of the most requested service is the weekly bell testing, if you were to use this service you would have the strongest assurance that your alarm systems are fully operational. The benefit of this is that you will no longer have to train staff, you and your staff can stay focused on your business and your customers. 

Another service that is often used is Open and Lock where we send mobile patrol officers to attend at agreed times to unlock or lockup your premises and therefore remove the risk to a member of your staff doing these duties alone.

Also offered by ARK is the Alarm Response & Key Holding service which in the event of an alarm, ARK will send one of our officers who will go to your premise determine the cause of the alarm and issue any appropriate actions i.e. filling a report with the police. They will also provide a report of the alarm and actions for you to review.
