No matter how well you think you know your employees, you need to be aware of how prevalent employee theft is in Restaurants, F&B and other Retail Stores. Recognizing the signs is important; having tools in place to prevent theft is even better.

POS System generate report to owners which can show all or selected daily tansaction, such as discount, sales return and refund. Other reports to review regularly include employee timeclock reports and their payouts, allowance and staff discounts.

MONITOR EMPLOYEES ACCESS 
Point of Sale (POS) System allows owner to set up the system with password protection.It allows and resticts individual employee access to the sytem depending on their job level and position.
For example, cashiers would be able to login into the POS with a secure login card or username and password, however he or she would be restricted from having access to the management function. Supervisor would be able to access for supervisory functions but having limited access to system management functions such as viewing warehouse inventory or purchasing order. With this security, you are also able to have a record of every transaction processed by every employee, but ensuring that passwords are not shared will help to prevent users from logging on using another person’s details.
The key is that the POS system software allows you to control who can do what with the POS software.

LIMIT ACCESS TO SAFE AND CASH DRAWERS
Consider restricting who can open cash drawers, so you can make employees accountable for the money in their till. Granting access only to the restaurant owner, manager or head server during their shift can further help limit opportunities for theft. In some instances only the owner knows the combination to the safe. The less hands that touch the cash, the less chance of it being stolen.
