Security cameras, both hidden and visible, continue to be a valuable deterrent to theft. The most effective places to install your surveillance cameras include:

• Around cash registers

• Over back door or dumpster areas, and

• In storage and hidden sections of the business.

Review your security camera footage each night or on each convenient time to monitor odd behavior associated with theft or other inventory losses. We make it easy for you to mark the video footage with blue segments where movement was detected and to offer analytics. Each analytic may be enabled separately and is billable per camera.

Employees are a primary cause of loss of inventory. Employee theft may be intentional, although not overt. Common forms of employee theft include:

• The use of discounts to provide price breaks to

family and friends

• Pocketing store supplies for personal use

As a business owner, there are many steps you can take to protect yourself against shrink. Make sure you continue to evaluate your loss prevention strategy to ensure the money that comes into your pocket stays there.

One of the key investments in restaurant is that of food inventory and stock. Basically, a restaurant inventory consists of all the items or raw materials required to prepare dishes, and managing that restaurant inventory would mean, to accurately track the use of each ingredient, in the right quantity in any dish.

Losses at the point of preparation

of all food inventory ends upas food waste.

Therefore, it’s essential to nail down how to efficiently utilize restaurant inventory and eliminate losses by creating more awareness among your employees.

The insights from your surveillance data can help you find new ways to improve your business operations. Analyzing data such as the average number of meals served at the drive thru during lunch hour, can help you understand how your restaurant is performing. Cloud Video Surveillance goes however further than that. It allows you to compare multiple location data like counting, line crossing or intrusion detection. And that context can give you the insight you need to improve the way you run your restaurant.

Monitor Accidents What would you do if there were an accident at your restaurant? For example, what if a guest or employee threatened to sue because he slipped on a slick floor? And…what if no one saw it happen?

Monitor your dining and kitchen areas for slip and falls. When there is video footage of an incident, it can provide answers to what hap-pened and who, if anyone, is liable. In a secure organization, there are cameras that serve as an objective witness to capture everything and help settle disputes, no matter where an incident occurs.

Health and Safety Codes FoodAll codes require restaurants to safely handle, store and prepare food.

This refers back how correct food is handled, stored, prepared and how often equipment and surfaces must be cleaned. Keep an eye on the kitchen areas for falling food and other risks.

Make sure that your employees follow the specifics of the code like wearing gloves and avoid touching prepared foods with their own hands. Review, export, and share the video footage easily with the staff via Whatsapp to maintain quality in your restaurant. Either way, you can always refer back to the footage whenever you get inspected.

Employee TrainingYour employees are your business cards of your restaurant. They are what make the business go and create the best guest’s experience. Optimize your restaurant dining experience by Monitoring employ-ee training and work areas to measure and identify ways to improve their productivity.
