Security Systems for Adelaide Restaurants and Cafes

CCTV, alarm systems, and access control designed for the fast-paced demands of restaurants, cafes, and food service businesses across Adelaide, from Gouger Street to Prospect Road.

Security challenges in food service

Adelaide's restaurant scene is thriving, but the hospitality industry faces persistent security challenges from cash handling risks to break-ins during closed hours.

Cash & Till Theft

Restaurants handle significant cash, particularly on weekends. Internal skimming, register discrepancies, and till theft are ongoing risks without POS camera coverage.

After-Hours Break-ins

Restaurants in strip-shop locations and standalone premises are vulnerable to break-ins when closed. Alcohol, cash, and kitchen equipment are common targets.

Kitchen Safety & Hygiene

CCTV in kitchen areas supports food safety compliance, monitors hygiene practices, and provides evidence in the event of a health department investigation.

Dine-and-Dash

Walk-outs cost restaurants hundreds per incident. Clear CCTV at entry points and dining areas provides identifiable footage for reporting to police.

Delivery & Back-of-House

Rear delivery doors, cool rooms, and storage areas are often unsupervised. Deliveries may be short-counted and stock can disappear without monitoring.

Customer Disputes

Complaints about service, food quality, or alleged incidents need evidence for resolution. Video footage protects your business from false or exaggerated claims.

Our restaurant security solutions

We install security systems that fit the aesthetics and operations of hospitality businesses. Cameras are positioned discreetly, cabling is concealed, and the system runs silently in the background while your team focuses on delivering great food and service.

  • * POS-focused cameras for till monitoring and cash reconciliation.
  • * Kitchen cameras for safety monitoring and hygiene compliance.
  • * Dining area coverage for dine-and-dash prevention.
  • * Rear door and delivery area monitoring.
  • * After-hours alarm system with professional monitoring.
  • * Remote access for owners to check in from anywhere.

Remote management for multi-venue owners

If you operate multiple restaurants or cafes across Adelaide, our systems let you view all locations from a single app. Check live feeds, review incidents, and monitor opening and closing procedures remotely.

This is particularly valuable for franchise operators and restaurant groups managing venues across the CBD, North Adelaide, and suburban strips.

Restaurant security FAQs

Will cameras be visible to diners?

We use small, discreet dome cameras that blend into the ceiling. Most diners will not notice them. The system protects without creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Can I check my restaurant from my phone?

Yes. You get a mobile app with live viewing of all cameras. This is popular with owners who want to monitor opening procedures, busy periods, and closing routines remotely.

How do kitchen cameras handle steam and grease?

We install cameras rated for humid environments and position them away from direct steam sources. Regular cleaning as part of your maintenance schedule keeps lenses clear.

Can the system help identify dine-and-dash offenders?

Yes. Entry cameras capture facial detail as customers arrive. Combined with dining area footage, this provides identifiable images for police reporting.

How long is restaurant footage stored?

Typically 14 to 30 days depending on camera count and resolution. We size your recording system based on your needs and can configure longer retention if required.

Do you secure multiple restaurant locations?

Yes. We set up multi-site access so you can view all your venues from one app. Each site has its own recording but you manage them centrally.
