As the restaurant industry continues to grow, restaurants face increased competition. In an effort to attract new customers and maintain current customers, many establishments are offering additional services such as entertainment and catering. Theme restaurants featuring movie, sports, and music memorabilia have also gained popularity over the past few years. These changes in strategy can affect financial risk and risk to reputation. Restaurants are also faced with general economic risks such as unemployment, inflation, and changing population demographics. When people lose their jobs or face economic uncertainty, they tend to dine out less frequently Although the mitigation strategies are very useful, time and money could be saved by using these strategies but these are not assurance for the growth and smoothness of running operation of business.

CUSTOMER ACCESS AND EXITS ENTRANCES

Stairs and ramps Hand rails should be provided for any ramps or stairs with two or more risers. Emergency exits Emergency exits must never be locked or obstructed. Where required to be installed, illuminated exit signs and emergency lighting must be maintained by a qualified technician.

This will assist in making your business a less attractive target. Internal and external alarm devices, to cause maximum anxiety to intruders, and possibly attract the attention of neighbors or passers-by, an alarm system should include a loud internal audible alarm and a highly visible external strobe light.
