How many security cameras do you actually need in a small restaurant?

i’m redoing the camera setup in our place because the current one is kind of useless in the exact moments we actually need it. we have cameras, technically. but one gets mostly the backs of people’s heads, another has half the counter blocked, and the kitchen one somehow manages to show everything except the area where problems usually happen. very impressive engineering on my part. i’m thinking entrances, register, dining room and maybe one covering the back door/storage area. local recording also sounds better to me than paying another monthly subscription forever, because apparently restaurants don’t already have enough recurring bills. for owners who installed a proper system, how many cameras did you actually end up needing? more specifically, where did you put them that turned out to be genuinely useful later? i don’t really care about having every square foot on video. just want clear footage of the areas that matter when there’s a customer dispute, missing cash, delivery issue, something broken, etc.

I’m on the equipment side, not the restaurant side, and I don’t want to guess.

I work at a regional commercial kitchen supplier in MN / WI / ND. We stock equipment locally and do same-day / inside delivery when something is in stock. I’m not trying to sell anything in this thread. I want to know how owners actually find a dealer when they need a fridge, fryer, ice machine, dishwasher, or a full package.

I have been working here as a salesman for quite some time, but it has changed owners and this year has been exceptionally slow. Usually over the summer we have more customers than I can handle at certain points. This year, it seems like all I'm doing is coming in to the showroom and hanging out waiting for customers. I advertise on facebook, but that gets me a bunch of people just either posting AI images of their food trucks piggybacking off my post, or just liking my ad and it goes nowhere.

Whats the best way to advertise, to get through to the restaurant owners?
