    How to Reduce Theft, Vandalism and Employee Fraud in Your Restaurant

    The restaurant industry is becoming increasingly competitive, particularly with disruptors, such as Door Dash and Uber Eats, changing the way consumers engage with the food service industry. As a result, both chain and independent restaurants have struggled over the past few years, with many restaurant businesses closing down. To stay competitive, loss prevention is crucial. In fact, internal and external theft, as well as other forms of crime, can considerably harm the profitability of your business. While statistics are few and far between in regards to crime in the restaurant industry, employee theft in the US alone totals between $3 and $6 billion dollars each year, while the US National Restaurant Association claims around 4 percent of all restaurant revenue is lost to in-house theft. And that’s not even including external theft. Criminal damage and theft at your restaurant, whether internal or external, lower profits and increases the odds that your business will fail. Thankfully, however,...

    A Sight and Sound Advantage is the Best Defense

    When it comes to securing your commercial property or construction site, criminals are getting smarter. It’s not enough to have an effective camera system, you also need to HEAR what is happening during a break-in.  Most importantly, the incident must be VERIFIED. If It's Not Verified, It's Simply Guessing An impact-activated, audio-based intrusion detection system that is integrated with your access control, allows you to VERIFY the threat posed by an alarm event before police are called. False alarms are minimized, creating a faster police response, and criminals are apprehended! The combination of audio with video, as well as 24/7 monitoring by security professionals creates a secure environment that is hard to penetrate. Using this approach, the break-in can be heard before it is seen.  This early detection approach allows the police to arrive before too much damage can be done. Theft of vital construction equipment, as well as expensive materials such as copper, can devastate a...

    Security Tips for Your Educational Facility

      Educational facilities are meant to be a safe place for learning. Ongoing security concerns can distract from this purpose. Public schools, colleges, universities and private institutions are all exposed to vandalism, arson, theft and break-ins. The reasons for criminals to target educational facilities can vary from making a political statement, an expression of anger, the need to disrupt classes or getting revenge on a staff member or peer. To prevent crimes from happening on your campus, Sonitrol Security has created a list of nine ways you can improve your security: 1- Install warning signs It may be a simple solution but posting warning signs can be an effective deterrent for delinquent students and criminals by reducing loitering that can increase the likelihood of crimes such as vandalism. 2 - Maintaining the property Installing student art, planting gardens and doing general upkeep shows that you care for your property and what happens on it. Criminals are less likely...
