# Preventing & Handling Restaurant Robbery

**TL;DR:** A safety plan is recommended to minimize danger to employees and limit damage to a business in the event of a restaurant robbery. The plan includes training employees on what to do during and after a robbery.

## Story

With the state of the world today and the holiday season right around the corner, now is a great time to be proactive and take the time to cover robbery emergency protocol with your staff.

This safety plan is meant to minimize the danger to both you and your employees while limiting damage to your business.

Please make the time to train and prepare each and every one of your employees on what they need to do if a robbery occurs.

I have created a short video that will help your managers and employees better understand what to do during and after a restaurant robbery.

I have also included a Google Drive link in the comments to make it very easy for you to download this video and include in your training program and/or to share or use in future meetings (or in any way you see fit).

When it comes to the safety of our employees, we can never be too prepared.
