GME Fire & Security

One Kitchen Fire Can Close a Restaurant Permanently. One Security Incident Can Cost You Your Licence.

Irish hospitality businesses carry security and fire safety obligations that most commercial installers don’t fully understand. Kitchen fire risk. Late-night access management. Hotel evacuation standards. Guest privacy versus security. We design systems that handle all of it.

Three Hospitality Security & Fire Risks That Are Commonly Missed

What's typically inadequate in Irish hospitality premises

No kitchen suppression system over the fryers — insurer requirement not met · Fire alarm not to the enhanced IS 3218 category for sleeping accommodation · CCTV with blind spots at the bar or till — no footage when incidents occur

What We Provide

CCTV — Entrances, Bars, Tills & Car Parks

HD CCTV covering all entrances, bar areas, till locations, corridors, car parks, and external areas. Video analytics for queue monitoring, crowd management, and unusual behaviour detection. Footage retained to minimum 30 days — essential for insurance claims and Garda investigations.

Access Control — Back-of-House & Restricted Areas

Access control separating public-facing guest areas from staff areas, kitchens, stores, and offices. Key card access for hotel rooms with audit trail. Contractor management. Instant revocation on staff departure.

Intruder Detection — After-Hours Property Protection

Perimeter alarm protection for closed hospitality premises. Zones configured for late-night partial arming — protecting offices and stores while public areas remain in use.

Fire Safety — Kitchen Suppression & Life Safety Systems

Wet chemical kitchen suppression systems integrated with canopy and gas shut-off — essential for any premises with oil fryers. IS 3218 fire detection to the enhanced category required for premises with sleeping accommodation. IS 3217 emergency lighting with the extended three-hour duration required for hotels.

Is your kitchen protected by a fixed suppression system?

If not — and you have oil fryers — your insurer may already have grounds to reject a fire claim. Contact us today.
