Jamie Oliver Limited, the company managing UK celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's restaurants and other commercial interests, has appointed software company LogMeIn to provide remote access and IT support, for everything from table booking systems to marketing teams.

The deal will see the LogMeIn Rescue software being used at Jamie Oliver's restaurants; editorial teams behind his publications; business development teams; and food and recipe research teams.

In total, more than 500 people, across PCs, Macs and mobile devices.

LogMeIn provides remote control, file sharing, systems management, data backup, business collaboration and on-demand customer support for its clients.

Services include the ability to access and back up remote computers as well as booking and POS systems.

Patricio Colombo, head of IT & Systems at Jamie Oliver Ltd, commented: "If the reservation system in one of our restaurants fails during a busy weekend, we need to have it back up and running in minutes, not hours.

"During the Royal Wedding bank holiday an overnight update of the reservation system did exactly this.
