Theft and fraud risk for small business

Find the gaps before they cost you.

Practical tools and services that help restaurants, bars and small businesses cut theft, fraud and shrink, and protect their profit. Built on 20 years in loss prevention, asset protection and fraud investigation across restaurants, bars and retail.

The five points of loss

With food, liquor and labor costs rising, every dollar lost to theft or fraud hurts more. Every business loses money in the same five places. Most owners watch one or two. We look at all five.

  1. 1

    People

    Hiring, training, accountability, and knowing the warning signs of internal theft.

  2. 2

    Point of sale

    Voids, comps, discounts, under-ringing, and cash drawer control.

  3. 3

    Product

    Liquor, inventory, receiving, and waste.

  4. 4

    Premises

    Cameras, lighting, after-dark exposure, and back doors.

  5. 5

    Payments

    Cards, deposits, refunds, online orders, and chargebacks.
