Is the backboard going to just sit out in the open? That's not a good idea anywhere, but especially not in a restaurant. I would mount a suitable metal pull box (my favorite size is 24" by 24" by 6") on the wall, and run the conduit(s) up the wall into the ceiling, Alternatively, remove a tile or two, make a 2" knock out in the rear of the pullbox with your Greenlee punch and run the wires through a sleeve in the wall.

Look in the Yellow Pages for "Licensed Electrician" or "Telecommunications Contractor" and you'll probably find someone who will know how to do it for you.
