Cut QSR Losses with March Networks' Searchlight for Retail

What’s your restaurant loss prevention strategy?

Margins are tight for quick service restaurants. Between food losses, high staff turnover and employee theft, it’s getting tougher to turn a profit. Consider these facts:

QSRs lose up to 7% of revenue due to employee theft
Employee theft accounts for 75% of restaurant industry losses
75% of employees have admitted to stealing from the workplace at least once

The right restaurant loss prevention solution can help you cut these losses and keep more of your profits.

Enhance restaurant security and uncover employee theft without the burden of purchasing and maintaining your own video server. With Searchlight for Retail as a service, you can access video surveillance of all of your restaurants and receive custom reports that analyze important security and operational issues. Because the service is hosted and maintained by March Networks Managed Services team, our staff takes care of day-to-day system maintenance and administration, leaving you free to focus on your business.
