The short answer
Arrow lists restaurants among the Arizona businesses it serves and offers armed or unarmed officers, special-event coverage, and mobile, foot, or bicycle patrol options. For a restaurant, an assignment may focus on entrances, closing procedures, parking areas, employee escorts, crowd or queue observation, private events, and calm response to disruptive behavior. The exact services must be defined in the quote and written post orders.
What to know
Restaurant security should account for the concept, hours, neighborhood, alcohol service, patio or drive-through layout, cash-handling exposure, and history of incidents. Managers should specify who can refuse service or ask a patron to leave, when security intervenes, when police or medical responders are called, and how incidents are documented. Officers should use de-escalation and avoid taking over management decisions or alcohol-service responsibilities.
A layered plan may combine lighting, cameras, controlled back-of-house access, cash procedures, staff training, and officer coverage during higher-risk periods. Security cannot guarantee that disturbances or theft will not occur. Arrow should assess the location and confirm officer availability, hours, duties, and whether armed or unarmed coverage is appropriate before service begins.
