For The Hospitality Industry* Direct Theft * Overserving * Serving to Minors * Undercharging Customers * Poor Customer Service These are all issues that can negatively impact your business both legally and financially, whether you run a bar or restaurant, a night club, an adult club, a country club, a cruise ship, a theme park, or any other retail establishment. If you have employees regularly interacting with your customers, they can be the key to your success. Because your business likely serves alcohol, your responsibility is even higher. DIRECT THEFT: Businesses are being drained by retail workers through direct theft every day. According to one national survey for retail businesses in 2001, "…employee theft cost retailers a record $15 billion” which equated to over 48% of their total losses!
OVERSERVING/UNDERAGED DRINKING: Recent headlines have caused pressure to be put on establishments that serve liquor to control not only who drinks, but how much they drink. This puts greater responsibility on your employees, and on you to ensure they are compliant. (Click here to read an article on overserving and the price one restaurant had to pay.)

CUSTOMER SERVICE: Customer Service is virtually the key to a successful business when your workers are dealing directly with customers. Stop an unhappy customer from becoming your competition's new customer.
