ARK & Restaurant 

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.
