Surveillance Systems for Bar/Restaurant Owners
With an average loss of 25%-35% due to shrinkage and waste, combined with one of the greatest exposures to civil liability, it’s no surprise that bar owners have a lot to gain by investing in quality Surveillance Equipment. A professional Surveillance System, will allow bar owners and operators the opportunity to dramatically reduce lost profits by cutting underperforming employees, viewing lackluster employee efforts, and reducing legal exposure in addition to maintaining a more secure environment.
Bars, restaurants, nightclubs… the problems are mainly the same, and typically involve employees who may be stealing or may simply just have a sense of entitlement. The greatest source of profit loss is due to employees that are too generous with drinks, give free drinks to friends/family, or free brand upgrades to increase tips.
You don’t have to steal from a business to cost it a lot of money! The negative impact of employees that simply do not understand how their behavior impacts the business. Once owners have the proper Surveillance Equipment in place, they can start to see the waste and start to correct the problem. Most bar owners with a Surveillance System will see a decrease in cost of goods sold. In fact most bar owners will realize a payback of their Surveillance System in 6-9 months!!!
In the bar/restaurant industry, not only can problem employees be identified, behaviors corrected, circumvent major legal hassles, and will also provide a safe environment for your customers. Video surveillance is the perfect tool to help avoid unnecessary lawsuits, create an efficient work environment, and provide a safe environment for customers.
