Theft is one of the main causes of revenue loss in bars, restaurants, and hotels. This is due to the very nature of the hotel industry in general, and bars in particular, where products sold are not precisely measured. A simple Internet search like this one will reveal the numerous methods employees are known to use to take advantage of their employers. Bartenders and servers steal from their bosses because it’s easy to do, hard to detect, and extremely difficult to prevent. The temptation is also great when you handle large sums of cash and are dealing with a generally liquid asset.

 

Lack of control makes it easier to succumb to the lure, while the precarious nature of many hospitality industry jobs can predispose some employees to this kind of ill-advised and unfortunate behavior.

 

That’s why Azbar offers you solutions that let you protect your business and reduce or eliminate the different means employees can use to steal from you.

 

 

Remember that trust doesn’t exclude the need for control, and that without control, even your most honest employees may succumb to temptation. With the Azbar system—

 

• All orders go through the Az-200 or AzPOS before being served and are automatically rung up and ready for billing;
• The Azbar Az-200 can recognize up to 255 different brands of drinks and allows you to make a wide variety of cocktails;
• Promotional prices for “2 for 1” specials, “happy hour” events, etc. can be programmed in advance and for a predetermined period. Prices return to normal the minute the event ends;
• The Azbar programmable pourer is equipped with a valve that won’t let out a single drop until an order has gone through the system. It will then pour the exact quantity ordered as long as normal procedures are followed;
• A seal prevents bottles from being opened without authorization, thus ensuring the contents can’t be diluted.
