The cost of not knowing
Friday night rush. POS freezes.
You find out Monday.
An internet outage during dinner service isn't just an inconvenience. It means credit cards won't process, online orders stop flowing, kitchen displays go dark, and a dining room full of customers who won't be back.
$430
Lost per hour of downtime
Based on a restaurant averaging $2.5M in annual revenue. One lunch service outage wipes out a full month of AmIUp.
$12K+
Lost per year at 1% downtime
That's roughly 87 hours a year — less than 2 hours a week. Most owners have no idea it's happening this often.
80%
Of customers pay with cards or phones
When your internet drops, "cash only" loses most of them. They walk out — and don't come back.
Here's what usually happens: your internet goes out at 6:47 PM on a Friday. Staff tries to keep things moving. They reboot the router. It comes back — or it doesn't. Either way, nobody calls you until the situation is already bad.
You might lose 45 minutes of orders. You might lose 3 hours. When you dispute it with your ISP later, you'll hear the four words every restaurant owner hates: "We don't see an issue on our end."
Most restaurant owners don't even know how often this happens. AmIUp does.
When your internet drops during service, your POS, mobile ordering, and card terminals all stop at once. Knowing immediately makes the difference between a 5-minute fix and a 45-minute crisis.
A restaurant website that goes offline during peak hours can lose dozens of orders before anyone realizes it. Most owners find out from a customer complaint, not a monitoring alert.
If your reservation system or website is unreachable, new customers can't book — so they'll call somewhere else. You'll never know how many you lost.
Internet providers almost never admit to an outage without documentation. AmIUp gives you the exact timestamps to make your case and get credited.
Why AmIUp is different
We don't just watch your website.
We watch your restaurant.
Most uptime tools check your website from a data center in Virginia. If your website loads there, they say everything's fine. But your POS doesn't run in Virginia. Your POS runs on your internet.
Other monitoring tools
- ✕ Check your website from a remote server
- ✕ Can't see your in-store internet
- ✕ No proof for ISP disputes
- ✕ Don't know if your POS is connected
AmIUp
- ✓Monitors your website from outside your network
- ✓Monitors your in-store internet from inside your location
- ✓Generates exportable outage reports with exact timestamps
- ✓Tells you what broke — your site, your ISP, or both
The location monitor
A small, lightweight agent that runs on any device at your restaurant — a spare tablet, a cheap mini PC, or even a Raspberry Pi. It connects to your network and checks your internet from the inside, every 5 minutes.
If your internet goes down, the agent detects it immediately and sends you an alert — even if your website is still loading fine for people outside your location. Two totally different problems. AmIUp catches both.
What you'll actually get
An alert lands in your inbox
before your staff knows what to do.
No dashboards to refresh. No logging in. AmIUp emails you the moment something changes — with exactly what broke, when it broke, and which location.

"I wish I had this last Tuesday." — every restaurant owner who's had to piece together what happened after the fact
ISP accountability
Stop hearing
"We don't see
an issue on
our end."
When you call Comcast or AT&T after an outage, they'll tell you everything looks fine on their side. Without proof, you lose that argument every time.
AmIUp logs every outage with exact start and end times. One click exports a full report — documented evidence you can send in a support ticket, use for an SLA credit claim, or bring to the table when deciding whether to switch providers.
For a lot of restaurant owners, this report alone is worth the $9 a month.

Does this monitor DoorDash or Uber Eats?
We monitor internet and Wi-Fi availability, not delivery platforms directly. When your internet is down, we tell you — so you can switch to a backup connection or hotspot before losing more orders.
Can I add multiple locations?
Yes. Each location gets its own agent, alerts, and outage history. See all of them in one dashboard for $5/location per month.
What gets logged?
Outage start and end timestamps, status changes, ISP information, and location context — everything you need to make a credible case to your internet provider.
Do I need to be technical to set this up?
No. If you can plug in a router, you can set up AmIUp. The whole thing takes about 2 minutes and we walk you through it step by step.
Your next outage is coming.
The only question is whether you'll know about it.
