Case studies
Wendy’s
Wendy’s International, Inc. is the world’s third largest hamburger/restaurant chain. The handling of cash is a critical but time consuming element of restaurant operations. Company operations asked the Loss Prevention Department to explore opportunities to reduce the time that management and cashiers spend handling cash at the restaurant and to improve accuracy of cash handling during all day-parts. This included the testing of cash scales in company restaurants with a potential roll-out to the entire system.
Pamida
Pamida’s history stretches back to 1948, when Jim Witherspoon and Lee Wegener entered the retail sector as service merchandisers to supermarkets. Today, Pamida operates 220 stores across the United States, offering its customers an impressive range of home products, including hard and soft furnishings and seasonal goods. The company also operates its own pharmacy division, with concessions in each store. Pamida stores are typically found in county seat towns with populations ranging from 3,000 to 8,000 people, each store priding itself on providing a variety of merchandise, outstanding value and fast and friendly customer service.
Aldi
Brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht founded Aldi in 1946 when they took over their mother’s food store in Essen, Germany. The Aldi chain has grown from one modest food shop to over 7000 discount supermarkets worldwide. Aldi are renowned for their simplistic approach to shopping, and as a result they offer great quality products at low prices.
The Co-operative Group
In July 2007, The Co-operative Group and United Co-operatives amalgamated, creating one of the world’s largest consumer co-operatives, with a turnover of more than £9 billion, 4.5 million members and over 87,500 employees.
HMV
With many retailers in the UK still losing the costly battle against cash shrinkage, HMV, the world’s premier retailer of music, videos and computer games, are bucking the loss prevention trend.
Poundland
The combination of a rapidly expanding business and a high cash turnover at point of sale has always been an issue for Poundland, Europe’s leading one-price retailer.
