Sound Solutions has designed and installed sound and video systems in a number of TGI Fridays restaurants. We focus on integrating state-of-the-art systems into Fridays' vibrant design motif.
In 1997, Sound Solutions partnered with Applebee’s. Since then, we have had the pleasure of working with multiple franchise groups in many states.
Over the years, we have collaborated with key Applebee’s personnel, to bring unique system innovations to market. When Applebee's implemented its late-night initiative, Sound Solutions significantly improved sound system performance at the company's restaurants. Upgrades included installing more powerful and higher-quality amplifiers, installing higher-quality coaxial speakers, and adding subwoofers in the bar area, resulting in a more dynamic and enjoyable listening experience, particularly after 9:00 p.m.

With the introduction of the sports and entertainment package, Sound Solutions developed a user-friendly, modulated video system, capable of accepting inputs from up to twelve video sources. A typical entertainment package includes six DirecTV satellite receivers, five cable TV boxes, and a DVD player, which is used for training purposes. The entertainment package is available in standard definition (SD) or high definition (HD).

The TV “scoreboard” or “pod” suspended over the main bar, is a key design element in newer restaurants. To meet franchise group demands, Sound Solutions designed and is manufacturing a proprietary, single-pole mounting bracket that will accommodate four flat-panel TVs, ranging in size from 19” to 42”. These mounting brackets are available exclusively through Sound Solutions.

For many years, Sound Solutions has worked closely with Applebee’s general managers, area directors, and upper level management. In doing so, we have developed a profound understanding of the brand, positioning us to service Applebee’s as no other sound and video company can.
Sound Solutions began installing sound and video systems for the Ground Round restaurant chain in 1992. As the brand was built out over the next ten years, our system design evolved to aesthetically and functionally integrate with new prototypical and architectural design elements.
Sound Solutions was one of the first companies to be designated a Ground Round-preferred vendor. As such, we were invited to participate in the 2002, 2003, and 2004 Ground Round franchisee conferences.
From Minnesota to Maine, from Missouri to Maryland, Sound Solutions is proud to have installed sound and video systems in dozens of Ground Round restaurants.
