A dinner rush doesn't wait for a busy signal, a kitchen page nobody hears over the fryers, or a register nobody was watching at close.
Hiscall designs, installs and supports phone systems, overhead paging, cabling, CCTV, access control and digital signage for Tennessee restaurants, catering companies and food delivery operations. One certified team installs it, and the same team answers when you call.

Every technician who enters your building is a badged Hiscall employee. We do not subcontract installation or support.
A restaurant, caterer or food delivery operation lives and dies by two things most vendors treat as an afterthought: whether the phone gets answered during the rush, and whether the building is secure once everyone has gone home. VoIP handles high call volumes without busy signals or dropped calls, routing callers to reservations, takeout or catering with an automated attendant instead of a hostess who is also trying to seat a table. Hiscall designs the whole path, from the first ring to the locked back door, and supports all of it with the same certified technicians who installed it.
How it fits together
From the first ring to the locked back door
A restaurant runs on a tighter clock than almost any other business, and a system built as one path keeps that clock from slipping. Built from four separate vendors, it's how a busy Friday night finds every one of its weak points at once.
The order
VoIP and cloud-based phone systems handle high call volumes without busy signals or dropped calls, using automated attendants and IVR menus to route callers to reservations, takeout or catering.
The rush
IP-based overhead paging keeps the kitchen and the floor coordinated when it's loudest, and dial tone solutions like Hiscall Voice Connect keep the lines up during the busiest stretch of the night.
The dining room
TV displays, digital signage and video walls in customer areas handle menus, specials and ambiance without a separate vendor for every screen.
The close
CCTV, access control and staff ID badges secure the building, the registers and the walk-in after hours, all riding on the low voltage cabling and data network that ties the whole operation together.
Why one team
What actually changes when one team owns the whole system
A restaurant that buys phones, cameras and displays from three vendors owns the gaps between them too, usually at the worst possible moment. Here is what that costs in practice.
| Where it counts | Hiscall | Separate vendors per system |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | One team, one schedule | Coordinated by you, across contractors |
| Support calls | A Hiscall employee who knows your location | Whichever vendor you guess is responsible |
| System integration | Designed together from the start | Bolted together after the fact, if at all |
| After-hours security | One point of accountability | Finger-pointing between vendors |
| Everything else | Cabling, cameras, AV, IT, all included | Another vendor, another contract |
Built for the pace of food service, not adapted to it
Four capabilities that general low voltage contractors typically do not carry.
- High-volume call routing. Automated attendants and IVR menus route reservations, takeout and catering calls correctly without adding another body at the host stand.
- IP-based overhead paging. Reaches the kitchen and the floor over the noise of a full dining room and a running line.
- Staff ID badges & access control. Tracks who is on premises after close and secures the back door, walk-in and office where cash and inventory sit.
- Digital signage & video walls. Runs menu boards, specials and promotions in customer areas without a separate vendor for every screen.
What we install
Every system across the location, from one team
Most operators buy each system from a different vendor, then spend years getting them to talk to each other. We put them on one design and one support relationship.
Phone systems
VoIP and cloud-based phone systems sized for a single location or a multi-unit group, plus dial tone solutions like Hiscall Voice Connect.
TelecommunicationsCabling and infrastructure
Copper and fiber optic low voltage infrastructure installed by BICSI-certified technicians, sized for a single kitchen or a full commissary.
Network cablingCameras, access control & ID badges
CCTV security cameras, access control and staff ID badges protecting registers, inventory and entry points, under Tennessee CCTV license #1405.
Security solutionsData networking
Data networking equipment that keeps point-of-sale, phones and signage running reliably, sized to a single location or a multi-unit group.
IT services & data networkingTV displays & digital signage
TV displays for customer areas plus digital signage and video walls that handle menus, specials and promotions.
Audio visualOverhead paging
IP-based overhead paging that carries clearly across a loud kitchen and a full dining room alike.
Audio visualOperators we work with every week
From a single storefront to a multi-unit group, with the same certified technicians on every job.
- Independent restaurants. Phones, paging and CCTV scoped to a single dining room and kitchen, not sold as an enterprise package.
- Multi-unit & franchise groups. Consistent systems and support across every location, with one point of contact instead of a different vendor per store.
- Catering companies. Call routing and dial tone solutions built around order volume rather than table turns.
- Food delivery operations. High-volume call handling and data networking sized to a commissary kitchen or dispatch center.
How we work
Five steps, and you know who to call at each one
Survey
We come to you at no charge, look at what is already in place, and tell you honestly what should be replaced and what has life left in it.
Design
You get a documented scope and clear pricing. For a multi-unit group, we design one standard that repeats cleanly across every location.
Install
Our own badged technicians do the work, scheduled around service hours, not around us.
Train
On-site sessions for front-of-house, kitchen and management staff, repeated as often as your team needs it.
Support
You call us directly, not a queue, with 24/7/365 emergency response and unlimited moves, adds and changes.
Local technicians, statewide coverage
Two Tennessee offices mean a certified Hiscall employee on site rather than a subcontractor you have never met. Cloud-managed systems let us monitor, configure and resolve a great deal remotely, so a multi-unit group costs you far less time than it used to.
- Dickson. Corporate headquarters and 25,000 square foot distribution facility, serving Middle Tennessee and the Nashville region. Reach the Dickson office directly at (615) 740-7771.
- Knoxville. Branch office at 4620 Old Broadway, serving East Tennessee since 2001, with the same certified technicians and the same emergency response. Reach the Knoxville office directly at (865) 862-4650.
- You reach a person. You work directly with a trained, certified, Hiscall-badged employee. Your needs are not outsourced to a call center overseas.
