🛡️ Restaurant Theft Detection Software

Most restaurant theft is invisible until it becomes a habit.

Comp abuse, over-voiding, under-ringing, and cash discrepancies rarely show up on a single shift — they accumulate over weeks. Marcus, OwnerClone's theft detection agent, cross-references your transactions, your shift data, and your inventory to surface patterns before they become losses.

🤖
Powered by Marcus

Your intelligence AI. Marcus monitors transactions, voids, comps, cash reconciliation, and inventory variance — surfacing anomalies by employee, shift, and station so you can investigate with data, not suspicion.

How it works

Step 1

Marcus watches every transaction

Every void, comp, discount, and cash payment is logged. Marcus cross-references against shift data, POS records, and inventory to identify patterns that don't match the expected model.

Step 2

Patterns, not accusations

Marcus doesn't flag individual transactions — he identifies patterns. "Server X has voided 23% more tickets than average over the last 3 weeks on cash tables." That's an investigation trigger, not an accusation.

Step 3

Bar variance cross-check

Marcus connects bar inventory counts to sales data. When a bottle of top-shelf spirits disappears faster than sales justify, he flags it — whether it's over-pouring, comp abuse, or something worse.

Step 4

Cash reconciliation alerts

Every drawer close is reconciled against expected cash based on POS records. Consistent small discrepancies on the same shift are flagged — not dismissed as rounding error.
