How can my drivers be less attractive targets for robbery?

The key here is to make people think drivers don't carry enough money to make it worth their time or energy to commit a robbery.

  1. Be careful not to flash too much money during transactions.
  2. Print the rules of delivery on the menus that are distributed around (maximum $10 in change, etc.)
  3. Advertise the fact that you accept credit card payments and checks.
  4. Don't put any identifying signs on delivery vehicles. A regular-looking car is much less noticeable than one with a neon flashing pizza on the roof.
  5. If the delivery vehicles do have flashing pizzas on the roofs, put large signs on the windows reading "driver carries no cash" and "orders have been paid by credit card".
  6. Allow your drivers to wear normal clothes, not a uniform. This makes them look like ordinary people, not a delivery person who may be carrying cash. (If your drivers don't wear uniforms and the cars aren't obviously delivery vehicles, it's a good idea to issue company identification.)
