Security Technology for Restaurants

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.

Fact Checking Employee Customer Interactions in the Dining Area

• Place cameras so that you can see multiple angles of every customer and server interaction. Often a person's body will interfere with the view of the interaction, so you will need to make sure you have more than viewpoint.
• The blue zone indicate the views of wide angle lens cameras.

Drive Thru

• Just like the indoor cashwrap, you also need to be watching for fraud prevention and hostile customer interactions at the drive thru.
• In addition to those needs, you also need to be watching the line for vehicle damage, whether it be by colliding with your building or with other vehicles.
• The blue zones indicate the views of strategically placed, varifocal lens zoomed in cameras.

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.

Observe Employee Interactions

• HR incidents can happen anywhere, but in semi-private areas like break rooms and inventory storage, the odds are higher
• Installing cameras in these areas will reduce the rate of incidence and speed up the HR investigate and resolution process

Prevent Unauthorized Access to Back Inventory

• Electronic door locks and bluetooth readers allow you to control access to sensitive areas, like your receiving bays, long term inventory and overstock storage, break rooms or other employee only areas, or more secure cash storage locations
• Administrators can create groups based on job function and shift. It's easy create a group and then limit their access by time of day and/or day of week.
• Access control audit logs can easily replace time clocks.

Network, Cyber, and Application Security
