Digital Surveillance Makes Your Business Safer, Stronger, and Smarter

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

As an industry leader and innovator in the field of intelligent digital surveillance, Pinnacle Hospitality Systems has helped a wide range of businesses in the restaurant and hospitality industries protect their employees and bottom line profits through video surveillance strategies.

The value of implementing restaurant digital surveillance strategies extends well beyond safety issues, to encompass operational, merchandizing, productivity and customer service enhancements.  According to a 1999 study done by the National Restaurant Association, employee theft averages $218 per person on an annual basis. To make matters worse, security experts think that estimate is conservative.

According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, occupational fraud costs the average business $4,500 per employee annually. The total national loss to occupational fraud is over $400 billion, and the restaurant industry claims over 9.5 percent of the total.   This staggering amount can be drastically reduced by installing the proper digital video surveillance system into your hospitality-based business. 

No matter what size your facility or DVR needs are, Pinnacle Hospitality Systems have a solution that will work for you. Our industry-leading DVR systems digitally record video, and provide real-time footage when connected to the internet for access from any location.

Our advanced restaurant DVR systems are available in wired versions and are complete with cameras and all needed components and cables.  Contact Pinnacle today for a free consultation for your restaurant POS needs.
