Propose a solution:   Liza operated a small fully licensed restaurant that was making a reasonable profit from the food, but she believed that liquor sales should be higher. Ray, her bar manager, decided that it would be a good time to take a holiday and it was agreed he would take three weeks off. He returned with ten non-alcoholic recipes purchased overseas. He suggested that they go partners where he would make the drinks and the establishment would sell them and buy all ingredients. They would split the revenue 80/20 with the large share going to the business. All went well for a month until Ray had to leave early and asked Liza to store the collection of recipe pages in the safe where the evening’s takings would be stored. At the end of the night all takings had been by credit card so there was no need to open the safe. When she arrived the next morning, the recipes were in a different order and in a different place. They had been read, possibly copied, and the confidential information was now known by others. Ray threatened to sue the business.

Propose a solution:

 

Liza operated a small fully licensed restaurant that was making a reasonable profit from the
food, but she believed that liquor sales should be higher. Ray, her bar manager, decided that it would
be a good time to take a holiday and it was agreed he would take three weeks off.
He returned with ten non-alcoholic recipes purchased overseas. He suggested that they go
partners where he would make the drinks and the establishment would sell them and buy all
ingredients. They would split the revenue 80/20 with the large share going to the business.
All went well for a month until Ray had to leave early and asked Liza to store the collection
of recipe pages in the safe where the evening’s takings would be stored. At the end of the night all
takings had been by credit card so there was no need to open the safe.
When she arrived the next morning, the recipes were in a different order and in a different
place. They had been read, possibly copied, and the confidential information was now known by
others. Ray threatened to sue the business.
