The chain operates in five countries, with 30 locations in the UK and 11 franchises in Ireland, Malaysia, the Middle East and Russia. The restaurants are based around the Japanese Kaiten sushi bar where customers help themselves to colour-coded plates of food delivered by a conveyor belt.
The network, supplied by NetworkFlow, is a managed service that allows the chain to converge voice and data over IP.
According to Yo!Sushi IT manager Billy Waters, the company's existing infrastructure, based on copper leased lines was reaching capacity.
He said in a statement: "It means we no longer have to deal with BT, an ISP, a router company and so on. Just cancelling the BT lines for internal calls alone has saved us huge amounts of money and we're expecting payback overall of two years."
