Ummm not true about employees, more like 2% lazy, .05% thieves..I ran multiple kitchens in 18 years working in that business. I only fired 1 for theft,2 for not being right for the job, 2 for being continuously being late and 1 for sexual harassment. I never met a bribable health inspector, not once. If your restaurant survived till your kids are adults is an admirable feat unto itself..

@Charlene my very first job, the trainer left before the customers, the busboy approached & told me we should split the tip & tell her they didn't leave one....maybe it was a test? But it made me feel all creepy. Cases of steaks & crab & shrimp went out the backdoor whenever the owner wasn't there, sometimes even if only in closed-door office in Every place I ever worked. Never fired, never late, never lazy but quit twice...once to avoid sitting on the cooks lap, once because the female manager slapped me when I tried to take the coffee pot to a table, we had been unexpectedly visited by 2 buses, and were totally overwhelmed...but she wanted the coffee for herself...what a great manager! I had a catering business, and although I never bribed an inspector, heard plenty of hints & nasty attitudes after no $$ appeared...luckily my OCD attitude/ compliance kept them from finding anything major!
