BAR THEFT
Why does bar theft happen?
Running a club’s bar can be profitable, but it can also be hard—and you don’t want it to become a financial drain on your club. With so much cash flowing in and out, it can be tempting for employees to pilfer. Industry experts have estimated that up to 75% of employees steal at least once. Unfortunately, Food and Beverage Department Managers aren’t always aware there’s a problem. If you’re only examining the big numbers coming in through the register/POS, you might miss the bigger picture. But it’s not sales that make or break your operation—it’s profits. And if your margins are low, you’ll soon be out of business. Bars are especially vulnerable to theft, with alcohol a main target.
