This review is from: Preventing Internal Theft: A Bar Owner's Guide (Paperback)

I wish I had found this book years ago. It explains all the differnet concerns regarding theft at a bar. It is easy to go through and pull out the information that most meets the needs of the business. Way to go Plotkin!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great., Jun 6 2008

By Mike "Beer Bellies" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Preventing Internal Theft: A Bar Owner's Guide (Paperback)

This book is very informative for most beginners, however, it's redundancy can drag the reader down at times. The length of the book could have been chopped down to 1/3 of it's size. The book has variations of roughly 20 different schemes devised from bartenders, waitresses, food servers, and Management. It will steer the reader/owner to the basics of protecting their business and patrons. Worth reading, could be more encompassing for length and price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Summary of How Bar and Restaurant Employees Steal, April 26 2010

This review is from: Preventing Internal Theft: A Bar Owner's Guide (Paperback)

As a college level instructor of Forensic Accounting, I've found that the only way to teach and learn the subject is through concrete examples. Theory doesn't cut it.

This book is remarkably comprehensive and will give bar and restaurant owners, and prospective bar and restaurant owners, a leg up on dealing with employee theft.

I used it successfully in auditing a wine bar and shortly thereafter had one of the tricks (shorting servings) pulled on me in another wine bar by the night bartender. I told the manager, but it turned out that he was in on the scheme. The big lesson is that you can't trust any of your employees.

Does it cover every possible scheme? No, but at least it helps level the playing field.

Readers who want a more general view of business fraud and theft may wish to buy Forensic and Investigative Accounting, 4th edition
