Why Your Atlanta Restaurant Needs Security Cameras

by Kevin Smith Author

Restaurants may seem safe and cozy, but due to the success of most eating establishments, they can actually be a hot bed of crime. Waiters and waitresses carry around cash, tips are left on the table for anyone to grab and most patrons trust their belongings to be safe on an empty chair or booth. Additionally, crime can occur from the inside of the operation. From over-pouring to employee theft, much of a restaurant’s risks come from the employees themselves. To protect its employees, its patrons and themselves, restaurant owners should invest in restaurant security cameras in Atlanta. Here are just three of the major reasons why:

Prevent Shady Work Tactics

Over-pouring is a huge no-no in the restaurant industry as it not only contributes to a customer’s alcohol intake (and therefore, increases the likelihood of them driving intoxicated) but also, it cuts into the company’s bottom line. Employee theft is also a huge problem that restauranteurs face. However, while stealing cash is something that happens occasionally, it is more common for employees to steal food, drinks, dishware and other non-monetary items. By monitoring your business with security cameras, you can spot the problem and correct it before it really starts to hurt your business.

Reduce Workplace Violence

Violence between employees, employees and customers and customers and customers is not uncommon in the restaurant industry. This is especially true when an establishment serves liquor. To prevent a verbal argument from escalating into a physical one between any two people in your establishment, monitor the situation. Restaurant security cameras in Atlanta can help you keep track of a heating situation and put an end to it before it gets out of hand.

In addition to preventing violence between employees and customers, security cameras also serve to deter criminals. Knowing that they are likely to be caught by the authorities if caught on camera, most criminals steer clear of businesses with surveillance.

Reduce Fraudulent Lawsuits

Unfortunately, restauranteurs often find themselves in the middle of liability lawsuits stemming from false injury claims. Though difficult for a plaintiff to prove and win, a lawsuit can result in lost revenue and a damaged reputation. With cameras around, you can capture unarguable evidence and nip a claim in the bud before it becomes a lawsuit.

Many restauranteurs don’t think of installing security cameras to monitor their business, but they should. Restaurant security cameras in Atlanta can protect employees, patrons and the restaurateur himself from shady work tactics, violence and crime and fraud, three very good reasons all restaurant owners should make the investment today.
