To my knowledge and understanding this is very hard to 100% prevent from happening but it can be minimize by hiring the right bartenders for your bar and by putting policy and security in place. As a manager I would have a no stealing policy which mean if anyone get caught stealing would be punish for doing so. I would implement a pour policy which would help with control the pour as well as setting a guideline for the bartenders to follow. I would also check the POS and Cash registers frequently while making sure the POS passwords is safe and secure from my Bartenders this will prevent them from having access to the sales reports.

Bars are exposed to a greater risk of employee theft. Bartenders use various ways to steal when working behind the bar. Here are methods that bartenders use to steal beverages.

Bootlegging liquor by using personal bottles to make customers drinks.

Juggling.

Short pouring

Manipulating credit and card receipts.

Shortchanging and pocketing overages.

Skimming table tabs.

Substitutions.

Tapping up.

To address these concerns as a manager, I would develop a revenue control policy to better control all the receipts and ensure proper financial management and practices. The policy would include tip jars making sure the tip jars are not kept next to the cash register (How Bartenders Steal [+How to Prevent Theft] - Glimpse Blog, 2020). The policy would also be clear about consequences. I would train my employees about Theft to ensure they understand how stealing affects a business and how it relates to the employees. I would also inform the bartenders that they are being monitored and the consequences they will face if caught stealing. Another measure would be to reconcile the cash drawers. As a manager, I would close each drawer at the end of each bartender shift to make it harder for the bartenders to steal. Taking reconciling responsibility from the bartenders would eliminate their opportunity to steal directly from the cash drawers.
