Retail & Restaurants

In a competitive industry like retail, every dollar counts. SONITROL’s scalable security solutions minimize shrinkage and drive a solid return on investment.

Secure Your Premises, Protect Your Profits & Patrons

Retail stores and restaurants face daily security risks – from shoplifting and employee theft to 
burglary and vandalism. With high customer traffic, multiple entry points, and frequent deliveries, 
traditional alarm systems often fail to cover every angle. Even when motion sensors are in place, 
blind spots remain in stockrooms, kitchens, or back entrances. Add in late-night operating hours, 
leaving you with an environment that demands more than a basic security solution.

SONITROL’s state-of-the-art retail security systems fight shrinkage on multiple fronts, from employee theft to losses due to fire. Our technology can be integrated with HVAC and other building systems, and is all backed by a team of highly-trained professionals at a SONITROL Central Station.

Whether you’re an independent retailer or a regional or national chain, SONITROL is uniquely positioned to meet your needs. We’re the third-largest commercial and retail security company in North America, and the verified leader in electronic security. We offer national resources, as well as strong local support, knowledge and resources to get the job done right.
