Your Bar is Bleeding Profits and You Don’t Know What To Do

Many bar owners install security cameras thinking their staff will follow policies & procedures because their actions are being recorded. The reality is that employees realize pretty quickly that nobody is watching 14 hours of camera videos every day and the initial psychological deterrence rapidly fades. Security cameras are good for analyzing problems that have already occurred but they rarely prevent problematic situations from happening.

There are bar managers that try to verbally intimidate their workers into doing what they are supposed to do. This usually causes resentment and a greater incentive for employees to bend the rules from their lack of respect for management.

Some bars hire an outside inventory company to take weekly inventories, determine product usage & potential sales, then they compare these figures to your actual sales. Basically, you pay them to tell you how much you are losing every week but they don’t really help solve the problems behind the losses.
