Dishonest staff in a bar or restaurant
Pouring your own drinks
The absolute classic is that the waiter brings his own alcohol to the bar, which he then pours, and puts the torn money side by side in his pocket. He doesn't carry receipts for customers either at all, or he makes up an excuse that he mistakenly billed it to another table.
Tapping under measure
When a waiter drinks a few drinks under measure, he gets a surplus, which if he then issues without a receipt, the money remains in his pocket, without a shortage or missing something at the cash register.
Taking raw materials for your own use
When not all portions of food are accurately weighed, there is room to pour something into your home and report it as consumed for cooking.
Additional cancellation of items from the account
By default, the waiter brings a receipt for which he cashes in money. At the end of the shift, however, he cancels some receipts, or parts of them, and takes the money, which then appears to be in the cash register,.
Non-posting of an item with higher dagger expectations
The waiter seems to forget to charge an item (typically a drink) to the account, and tell the customer that he will no longer repair the account, and that the customer will therefore have it for free. Most customers then tend to increase the price of the drink.
How do I prevent theft?
One cannot be everywhere, and one can never look after everything, but there are ways to keep the theft to a minimum.
1. Acquire a quality registration treasure that prevents account machinations.
2. Compare sales statistics of individual waiters (for example, if one waiter has a lot less drinks on the receipts than the rest, he is likely to rob you).
3. A hidden camera that scans the cash register, and the area where the money is operated on.
4. A hidden camera system in the kitchen and at the exits used to detect raw material thieves.
5. If a waiter has significantly more additional receipt corrections than the rest of the staff, focus on him.
6. Invest once in a while in mystery shopping at your store.
