Many operators have no idea their food cost is spiraling out of control due to one or more dishonest employees. Let's use a case of steaks as an example. If a dishonest employee steals just one steak per day,over two weeks, he/she can easily increase your food cost. When owners and/chefs fail to conduct inventory counts, the above scenario will happen more often than not. Back in 2006, I was the executive chef of a busy restaurant in Edmonton Alberta. We did inventory each and every week. One week, the owner noticed a massive discrepancy for total steaks sold, and what we had in inventory. It took only a few days to catch the culprit. The owner, decided to install some cameras in the walk-in cooler. I needed to grab steaks from the walk-in cooler, and when the door opened, I could not believe my eyes. There, right in front of me, was one of the servers. Her oversized purse was wide open as she stuffed it with steaks. She outright exclaimed, "Say one word and I will blame you." My reply, "Smile, you are on camera." The thief was caught red-handed. How many times have you been ripped off by dishonest employees and have no idea that it has happened? Fortunately, there is a cure for dishonesty. Visit edmontonprivateinvestigators.com for more information.
