Running a business is not the same thing as running a charity. You don’t give away your services for free, and eat the overhead cost of providing those services. You need to make a profit. Likewise, you are not in business to pay your employees more than the salary agreed upon. For both of these reasons, it is a good idea to employ the services of some competent parking audit consultants.
The idea behind these consultancies is a simple one. You need someone to run an occasional on-site spot check to make sure that nobody is parking for free. You also want to be certain that everybody who is paying for parking is paying you and not your lot attendants. Knowing that someone will drop by at random intervals gives the staff an extra reason to play by the rules.
One of the unavoidable costs of any business is management. Supervising the people who do the work takes time and money, but it always pays in increased profitability. No business can survive when the staff is able to do as they please. It is not always easy to monitor their behavior in person, particularly if multiple locations are involved. Engaging the services of someone to do this on your behalf is a cost-effective and trouble-free method of doing so. At the very least, you can assure yourself that all is well. You might also plug up a very nasty leak inside your financial boat.
