Which business owner has ever experienced disappointing profits despite selling very well? Did we miscalculate the price or overlook something? If you have tried to find every cause and still can't find the problem, try to observe the behavior of the employees in the shop. Because it's not just us who can receive money or access the ingredients. Every step of running a restaurant requires how many people to work. This could be a money leakage loophole in the business caused by dishonest employees who play tricks, whether unintentionally or intentionally out of necessity. All of these are problems that the owner doesn't want to happen. Because the problem of money leakage, even a small one, can escalate to a big point that is difficult to fix. Let's look at the reasons that cause profits to shrink from close employees in order to plan for timely monitoring. Since our shop sells well, our shop must make a profit. Don't let anyone steal it. 
Secretly overprice the cost or collude with suppliers Sometimes, the shop owner has to assign the responsibility of paying for the products to an employee, which can lead to problems. For example, an employee buys products for the shop exactly as ordered but does not list the actual price, receives a discount from the shop but does not tell them, or secretly adds the price and pockets the difference. Even if a cash receipt is attached for inspection, do not forget that the wicked employee may forge it or collude with the supplier to issue an invoice at an unreasonably high price in order to steal the difference. Therefore, the shop owner must frequently go out to buy raw materials to check the market price by himself. He must also be the one to contact the supplier who orders the products himself to prevent any hidden costs that may occur later, or buy from sellers who clearly state the price and issue receipts correctly and reliably. Sneaking food into the restaurant or secretly taking things home from the restaurant Owners who neglect to regularly check their stock in the store may face losses because their employees steal their ingredients from the kitchen, whether it is by taking fresh ingredients such as vegetables and fruits from the refrigerator home, taking prepared food to eat behind the shop, or telling the owner that they bought 10 kilograms of pork but the actual weight is only 8 kilograms and secretly taking the difference as their own. These problems can be solved by having a standard calculation formula and checking the stock regularly. Because if we have a formula, we will be able to calculate the ingredients used according to the amount of dishes sold. And when checking the stock, the remaining amount should be close to the number from the calculation. If the calculation results in the amount used being very different from the counted amount, there are two possible causes: there is unnecessary waste or there is corruption. Although it may seem fussy and time-consuming, it allows us to find out the problem quickly, preventing it from escalating, and it also shows the owner's seriousness towards his employees that we are strict and always checking. 
Stealing daily sales revenue or using store money for personal expenses Often, the shop owner is not available to watch the shop all the time. Almost every shop usually hires a cashier to take care of the shop's finances. A possible problem is that the employee is dishonest and secretly takes the cash that should be the shop's profit for personal expenses. Some may steal seriously or just ask to use it first and then return it. This is a big problem that can lead to a lawsuit. Therefore, do not be complacent. Check the sales account regularly. If we have a POS machine, it will make it easier because every time a sale is made, the sales must be recorded. When closing each day, the employee must send the total amount according to the closing account. Another measure is not to leave too much cash in the shop. It must be specified how much change in the drawer and emergency funds must be. And the sales amount must be sent to the shop owner or deposited into the shop's account every day. This will help reduce the damage in the case of large sums of money being embezzled. And if you are not often at the shop yourself, you should install a CCTV camera in the shop to help monitor behavior and check the situation in the shop. You can invest in having a partner or close relative take turns being the person taking care of receiving money.
