Case Study: Buckhead Life Restaurant Group stops employee theft and saves thousands with Avero

Turn to Avero for detecting and preventing theft in your business

Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, a 13‑restaurant operator founded in 1979 and known across Atlanta and South Florida, faced a stealthy source of revenue loss when COO David Abes noticed bar checks showing food but almost no beverages. That discrepancy, spotted with Avero’s Check Search, raised immediate suspicion of employee theft and prompted deeper investigation.

Using Avero’s Tips Report to sort tips by outlet and job type, David identified three bartenders with abnormally high tip percentages (over 30% each). After presenting the findings, one bartender quit and two were dismissed, behavior improved across the team, and the group recovered thousands of dollars in annual revenue—demonstrating how Avero’s tools detect and prevent internal theft.
