Quick Serve Restaurant

One platform for the modern restaurant edge

Versa converges networking, security, and store applications onto a single high-availability pair per store, reducing hardware sprawl across thousands of sites. New stores come online in minutes, are managed remotely, and keep serving customers even when the network goes down.

Consolidate hardware

Cut cost, failure points, and technician visits by collapsing routing, SD-WAN, security, and application hosting onto one resilient pair.

Keep drive-thru and payment running

Protect sales through device and network failure with built-in continuity from automatic failover and local processing.

Host applications on the same box

Run store applications directly on the platform, with no separate servers to buy or maintain.

Operate thousands of stores remotely

Bring new locations online remotely and keep policy consistent everywhere.

One pair per store

Converge routing, SD-WAN, security, and app hosting on a redundant pair with stateful failover that keeps the store running through a device failure.

Learn More

Flexible deployment

Run Versa as a uCPE host, native container platform, or a VM on an existing edge platform, with zero-touch provisioning and single-pane management across every site.

Security and compliance

Segment payment, POS, IoT, and guest traffic with east-west Zero Trust, keeping PCI DSS scope contained without bolt-on tools.

Three ways to host store applications

Versa supports three deployment models under one management plane, so operators can match hosting to how a store runs today and change models later without re-architecting the network.

  • Host VMs on uCPE: Run POS middleware and back-office VMs alongside network functions, service-chained through the data plane with Zero Trust between workloads.
  • Run containers natively: Execute containers directly on Versa VOS with policy applied per container, so no separate container host is required.
  • Run Versa VOS as a VM: Deploy VOS on an existing Kubernetes-based edge platform, so the full routing, SD-WAN, and security stack becomes another scheduled workload.

Teams can run different models across the estate, provision and monitor every device, VM, and container from a single console, and migrate between models as store formats evolve.

Built for how QSRs run

The QSR edge is unlike any other. Versa is built for its realities.

Apps

Keep the drive-thru selling

Single-pass processing keeps drive-thru and payment traffic fast, and HA with multi-link failover rides out device and link failures. If the WAN drops, local processing keeps orders and payments moving.

Apps

Cut cost and truck rolls

Cut CAPEX and technician visits by consolidating the store stack onto a single pair across thousands of sites.

Apps

Secure stores and stay PCI compliant

A built-in NGFW delivers enterprise-grade security with no bolt-on appliance, and east-west Zero Trust isolates payment to keep PCI scope contained.

Apps

Centralize provisioning and operations

Zero-touch provisioning brings each store online without on-site IT, and centralized management applies policy consistently across every location.

Apps

Match your compute strategy

Host VMs and containers directly on Versa hardware, or run Versa as a VM on an existing Kubernetes edge platform. Mix models across the estate as store formats evolve.

Apps

Run franchises on shared infrastructure

Multi-tenancy keeps each franchisee isolated and independently managed, so an MSP or franchisor can serve its entire base from one platform.

White Paper

Collapsing the Restaurant Edge

The Versa Operating System (VOS) can collapse separate network and application hardware into a single high-availability pair at the restaurant edge, giving QSR operators the flexibility to host VMs, run containers, or run VOS as a VM on their existing edge platform.
