CCTV camera

Oga, you are not telling us how much you are paying him.

Since you know how much is been made daily when you are around. Set a daily or weekly target of returns but dnt be greedy so that he can be paying himself too

360 panoramic Cctv camera of 25000 naira can solve the problem.

You can view your shop and talk to your staff even when you are in the village.

Here is what you need to do.

Print receipt booklets

Start a promo or bonanza in the game centre which will entitle customers to get 2 free games once they present receits for a certain amount. For example if you present receipts that total N10,000 you get 2 games free.

This will encourage your customers to ask for their receipts thereby forcing your sales boy to keep the real records because the receipt booklet will be in duplicate.

Goodluck

i'm not telling how much i'm paying him? cos he works for free.As if his salary is the bone of contention.I can see you are suggesting that his stealing is because he is not paid properly,you not know people will steal if they get opportunity and feel they wouldn't be caught even if you pay them a million naira as salary and by the way your idea is archaic and outdated.if i was looking for such i wouldnt come down here.

Hello, thank goodness I saw your post as I am also planning to setup a business like this. Apparently, I know this is one of the problems associated in a business like this and I have been searching for information on how to contend with it.

Pls, have you been able to address this challenge and what did you use?
