Bar Surveillance Video
The bar is one business that is most vulnerable areas of theft.
Bartender stealing is especially prevalent if you have a successful bar business with a popular bartender. You might not notice daily theft and skimming, such as free drinks to the bartender's friends and stealing from the cash register.

Shrinkage, the average loss due
to theft, spillage and waste, nationally is approximately 23
percent on liquor and draft beer, about 10 percent on wine and 2
percent on bottled beer*. That's a lot of money. It could mean
your profits for the year! Eliminating shrinkage can mean the
difference between financial success and bankruptcy.
Theft alone is the largest source of losses in bars.
Opportunities are plentiful for theft behind a bar. Bartenders
work many hours without direct supervision. Those who steal from
the bar do so because it's easy, hard to detect, and nearly
impossible to prevent.
The temptations posed by handling large sums of cash and dealing
with a liquid inventory on a day to day basis can be
overwhelming. At some point, even the most honest bartenders
will contemplate stealing cash, and give out free drinks to
friends or bar regulars.
You need to send a message loud and clear to your staff that theft will not be tolerated. Bartenders know they will be held accountable for their actions with surveillance video systems.
While you might not
want to pursue criminal action against a bartender
for embezzlement or a similar crime, video
documented theft is solid grounds for termination. A
mere wrist slap does nothing to discourage others
from putting their hands in the till.
Consider the predicament that Bob had when he
terminated his favorite bartender. "After installing
the GeoVision camera system, it became apparent that
Judy was taking money and giving away the
farm. She was bringing in a ton of business, much of
that was because of all the free drinks she gave
away. I hated to let her go, it hurt our bar
customer traffic at first. But after looking at the
bottom line, we knew we made the right decision."
