What international research shows
Published findings on this kind of intervention elsewhere, not results measured on this site.
A study of 392 restaurants found that after they adopted software that monitors point-of-sale transactions for theft, theft fell by 22% and average weekly revenue rose by about 7%, driven mainly by changed staff behaviour rather than staff turnover.
