Loss Prevention to Reduce Shrink & Improve Margins

Protect your Profits From Preventable Loss

Every restaurant experiences some level of loss – fraud, theft, waste, compliance issues, and inefficient processes that eat into margins and hurt profitability.  Restaurant loss prevention strategies involve addressing these issues as they occur and taking steps to prevent them in the future.  

For your restaurant, the line between profit and loss is razor-thin.  Protect your hard-won profits using data analytics to automatically flag activities indicating preventable loss, all while improving margins, increasing sales, and ensuring a consistent customer experience.

It made a lot of sense to leverage our transaction-rich data originating in our POS system with Agilence's data analytics platform.  We reached out to both companies and were happy that they were able to create a seamless integration between both technologies.

Very rarely have we encountered a vendor who met all deliverables and expectations on time and as expected.  Agilence will give our team insights into day-to-day operations allowing us to identify real opportunities for success.  This is what we've been missing and it's incredibly refreshing to work with a company that is actually there for us.
