Late-night break-ins. Missing inventory. Suspicious transactions. For restaurant and bar owners, these challenges aren’t rare, they’re some of the day-to-day risks that come with running a hospitality business.
But today, scalable security technology is more accessible than ever. And with the right theft-prevention tools in place, you can help reduce losses, respond quickly to incidents and stay focused on what matters most: your customers, your team and your business.
The right security partner can help restaurants and bars create customized solutions that fit their specific space, hours and operations. Here’s how to build a smart, layered defense against theft — inside and out.
Security cameras that fit your floor plan
From front-of-house to back-of-house, visibility is key. High-definition security cameras can monitor entrances, point-of-sale stations, inventory storage and even the bar — helping deter unwanted activity and provide evidence if an incident occurs.
With cloud-connected systems, you can view live footage or recorded video anytime, from virtually anywhere. Whether you're managing multiple locations or checking in after hours, real-time access puts peace of mind at your fingertips.
Security systems that respond around the clock
When your last employee locks up, your security system should take over. ADT’s professionally installed security systems help protect doors, windows and other access points with motion sensors, contact sensors and optional glass-break detectors.
If an alarm is triggered, 24/7 monitoring services can alert local authorities on your behalf — so you don’t have to rely on making a phone call in the middle of the night to know your business is secure.
Smarter inventory and transaction controls
Not all losses happen after hours. Monitoring daily operations for theft prevention is important as well. With additional tools, you can spot irregular activity early.
- Lockable liquor storage can help protect high-value inventory.
- Point-of-sale system integrations can alert you to unusual patterns, such as repeated voids or large discounts.
- Pairing transaction data with video footage allows you to cross-reference events and maintain accountability without added oversight.
Scalable security for every business
Whether you're running a single-location café or managing a growing group of venues, ADT solutions are designed to grow with you. Our systems are flexible, tailored and backed by 150 years of trusted security experience.
Smart security shouldn’t be out of reach for small businesses. With the right approach, you get the same level of protection and service trusted by larger operations, adapted to your budget, layout and goals.
