Preventing Employee Theft, while retaining top talent in your Restaurant: Importance of Background Checks
- Reduce theft
- Minimize liability for negligent hiring
- Maintain a safe working environment for all customers and employees
The restaurant industry in the United States incurs billions of dollars in losses each year due to employee theft. This type of theft isn’t limited to cash, as the industry relies heavily on consumables like equipment, food, and alcoholic beverages. The high rates of employee turnover in the food service industry make it difficult to keep up with the demands of the complex industry. Although the industry can be lucrative, recruiting and training employees is expensive, and it can take months to get back what you invested in a new employee.
One way to prevent employee theft and reduce turnover is to conduct thorough background checks. A criminal record review is an essential component of the background check process, which involves looking through criminal history files for any and all convictions and non-convictions, including cases that were not prosecuted or dismissed. A non-conviction will not appear for seven years, whereas a conviction can be reported at any time. If a convicted felon has their criminal record expunged, no crime will show up on a background check. By conducting thorough background checks, restaurant owners can protect their businesses and ensure a successful future.
