The key to Safety and Security for Resturaunts:

Layered Security

Good security has multiple layers that solve different and usually escalating needs. Different incidents have different levels of risk and more severe threats should trigger multiple systems.

Fraud Prevention at the Cashwrap

  • Long range cameras, installed close to the cashwrap, strategically placed to watch the POS machines to watch for fraud or hostile customer interactions.
  • Despite being short range, long range cameras are preferred for this solution so that you can adjust the viewing angle to get as much pixel density as possible on three things: one the hands of the person giving change, the denomination of funds coming and going, and the face of the person presenting the credit / debit card
  • Clarity on employee hands is to prevent slight of hand based theft
  • Focus on the denomination of bills going in and out of the register is to watch for errors and prevent disputes related to the cash or change given
  • Clarity of the individual's face is to prevent repeat offender credit card fraud
  • The blue zones indicate the views of strategically placed varifocal lens cameras.

Shrinkage Reduction and Responsible Alcohol Service at your Bar Area

  • Place cameras where alcohol is served so that you can audit whether or not underage individuals are being served and if visibly drunk customers are being cut off.
  • Just like the fraud prevention example, you want to watch the POS machines to watch for fraud or hostile customer interactions. one the hands of the person giving change, the denomination of funds coming and going, and the face of the person presenting the credit / debit card
  • It is important that you have at least one camera watching the inventory, as drinks being over poured or gifted are the largest forms of shrinkage for most restaurants.
  • The blue zone indicate the views of wide angle lens cameras. Bars tend to have transactions anywhere there is seating, so long range cameras are not as beneficial as the POS terminal examples.

Intrusion

    • Cameras strategically placed in outdoors in areas with entry points, such as doors and windows, can alert your security teams to unwelcome individuals and unauthorized access.
    • The red zones indicate the views of strategically placed fixed lens wide angle cameras outdoors.
    • Most retailers also tend to have cameras indoors to monitor staff, prevent fraud and shrinkage, and manage employees. These same cameras will be used in case of a break in to escalate emergency response.
    • If you're in a mall (or are a mall) often the common areas around your shop (effectively your exterior) are covered by the mall security, as seen in the hover image.
