Re: Stealing Food From Employers
If a business owner does not take preventative measures against internal theft, he deserves what he gets.
When I was a cash supervisor, we had adequate POS technology, survailance, and supervision, that if someone ripped us off, I knew it. In 4 years I had a significat amount of money go missing three times. I knew exaclty who it was every time. We fired one kid, one stopped showing up, and one girl we had arrested at her register.

Re: Stealing Food From Employers
Its really stupid not to have equipment to stop that stuff. We can design systems that basically, tell you how much was poured, time stamps it (from a camera), cross-references it against a database of everything sold, and tells you what beers your bartender gave out for free/didnt ring up, etc.

But anyone who's run a bar knows repeat business is what keeps you in business. If you don't let your barstaff take care of people, you won't have any. Speaking of that, my bar screwed me. The 2-for-1 happy hour on draft beer and wells has been changed. Now only Miller Lite is included, not Stell Artois. Bastards! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

This is all done behind the scenes, your local bar might have all these stopgaurds in place and you would have no idea. Im definetly getting something like this done to my bar, if I ever get things off the ground. And I will then be able to gauge, who its alright to get a few free rounds too, and who you dont, but I wont have to be at the bar 25 hours a day.

Re: Stealing Food From Employers
I once worked in a bar where my boss, the bar manager, was also the other bartender. I was only there about a month when they caught him stealing. He was taking money and putting it off to the side and then adding it to his tips when he got a chance. They had a hidden camera. Apparently they went back through the films and were extrapolating he'd stolen $40k that year. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
edit: (although they weren't really very smart and that was perobably off by a lot.)

Re: Stealing Food From Employers
How about this: if I notice a bar has one of those mechanically-measured pours, where it pours exactly an ounce and no more, then it'll take some very special treatment for me to go back.
Its a slippery-slope argument, but generally management isn't tracking bartenders as an intellectual exercise.

[/ QUOTE ] Those automatic pourors, I agree are completely lame, and bad for business (unless its a casino etc). There is a line to be drawn. Its not black and white though, I think you have to have enough hands on, and enough technology, and have intimate knowledge of both to be able to make good decisions regarding free drinks/theft/etc.
