What is restaurant theft?
Restaurant theft occurs when someone intentionally steals from your restaurant. These activities can range from employees stealing food inventory or undercharging friends to swiping proprietary recipes or pocketing cash payments.

According to statistics:

95% of businesses encounter problems with employee theft.

75% of employees say they’ve stolen from their employers at least once.

More than half (55%) of all embezzlement cases occur at small businesses with fewer than 100 employees.

Internal employee theft accounts for 75% of restaurant inventory losses and 4% of restaurant sales.

Employee theft in the restaurant industry costs businesses $3 to $6 billion annually.

I think the takeaway is if you have theft, it could easily be internal.

95% of businesses encounter employee theft?
That’s hard to believe. I’ll accept 80% and that is a horrible percentage.
