The on-premises segment shows a gradual increase in the market share of USD 1,420.03 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. On-premise deployments enable the real-time monitoring of restaurant management software solutions. Such deployments also ensure the complete security of enterprise data, such as source codes, version enhancements, and source code change histories, as they only require licensed or purchased copies of software solutions from independent software vendors. On-premise deployments provide a secure environment during regular software updates. However, the cost of on-premise software solutions is more than on-demand or cloud software solutions, as it includes the total cost of installation, which comprises the cost of in-house server hardware and IT support staff, as well as capital investments in software licenses. The integration of on-premise software solutions takes longer than the integration of other types of software solutions.
