Security Challenges for Perth Restaurants

Hospitality venues face unique security risks from cash handling and employee theft to customer incidents and liquor licensing compliance.

💰

Cash Handling Theft

Employee theft at registers, fraudulent voids, and till skimming cost Australian hospitality businesses millions annually. POS-integrated cameras provide deterrent and evidence.

🍽️

Inventory Shrinkage

Food, beverages, and liquor stock disappear through employee consumption, unauthorized discounts, and theft. Monitoring kitchens and storage areas reduces losses.

🥊

Customer Incidents

Altercations, intoxicated patrons, dine-and-dash, and fraudulent injury claims require video evidence. CCTV protects businesses from false liability.

🌙

After-Hours Break-Ins

Restaurants holding cash floats, liquor stock, and equipment are targeted by burglars during closed hours. Alarm systems and monitored CCTV provide protection.

🍺

Liquor Licensing Compliance

WA liquor licensing requires documented incident management and responsible service. CCTV footage demonstrates compliance and protects licenses during investigations.

👨‍🍳

Employee Safety

Kitchen accidents, workplace harassment, and late-night closing safety concerns require monitoring. Security systems protect staff and provide incident documentation.

Restaurant Security FAQs Perth

How much do restaurant security systems cost in Perth?

Restaurant security costs vary by venue size. Small cafes (4-6 cameras, basic alarm) start from $3,000-$5,000. Medium restaurants (8-12 cameras with POS integration, comprehensive alarm) cost $5,000-$12,000. Large restaurants or multi-venue operations with advanced systems range from $12,000-$25,000+. POS integration adds $1,000-$2,500 depending on your existing system. Professional monitoring costs $35-$65/month. ROI is typically achieved by preventing just 1-2 employee theft incidents.

Can security cameras integrate with our POS system?

Yes, we integrate with most hospitality POS systems (Lightspeed, Square, Toast, Revel, etc.). Integration links video footage with transaction data, allowing you to review specific sales, voids, refunds, or time periods. Exception reports flag suspicious activity (excessive voids, large refunds, drawer opens without sales) with corresponding video clips for investigation. This dramatically reduces employee theft and makes investigations faster. Integration typically takes 1-2 days after security system installation.

Do we need CCTV for liquor licensing in WA?

While not mandatory for all licenses, CCTV is highly recommended and sometimes required for certain WA liquor licenses (nightclubs, extended trading permits). Cameras provide evidence for incident management, demonstrate responsible service compliance, and protect your license during investigations. Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries may request footage during license reviews or incident investigations. We ensure systems meet any specific requirements for your license conditions with appropriate retention periods and coverage areas.

Where should cameras be installed in restaurants?

Essential camera locations include: all POS/cash register areas, entrance/exit (capturing faces and dine-and-dash), dining areas (documenting customer incidents), kitchen/prep areas (food safety and staff conduct), stock rooms (liquor and inventory), and rear doors/loading areas. Bar areas require specific coverage for drink preparation and cash handling. We avoid bathrooms and staff change rooms for privacy compliance. Camera placement balances security effectiveness with staff privacy and customer comfort.

Can I monitor my restaurant remotely?

Absolutely. Mobile apps allow restaurant owners to view live cameras from anywhere, check if staff opened/closed on time, verify deliveries occurred, and review incidents remotely. Multi-location restaurant groups can monitor all venues from a single dashboard. Receive instant alerts for alarms, unusual activity, or after-hours access. Remote access is invaluable for owners managing multiple venues or reviewing operations while away. Systems work on any internet connection (Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G).

Will cameras prevent employee theft?

Studies show visible cameras reduce employee theft by 60-80% in hospitality environments. The deterrent effect is significant when staff know POS transactions and cash handling are recorded. Cameras also provide evidence for investigations when theft does occur, enabling disciplinary action and prosecution. POS-integrated systems are particularly effective, linking video with transaction data to identify specific fraudulent activities (free meals, till skimming, false voids). Most restaurant owners report systems pay for themselves within 6-12 months through theft reduction.
