Particular attention must be paid to security in locations with a high volume of cash. Shops that operate around the clock and generate large daily sales are vulnerable to theft. You can protect yourself against this by investing in a drop or deposit safe that does not need to be opened.
Petrol stations used to be a frequent target for robbers. Today, protected by alarm systems, monitoring and security guards, they are no longer so easy to rob. However, they are still places of high cash circulation, which is connected with high risk. Especially during night shifts, when the stations are manned by fewer people, there are quick robberies, during which criminals empty the cash registers in just a few minutes. Customers also leave a considerable amount of money in restaurants and catering establishments. There it is also important to secure the current proceeds due to the turnover of employees. In order to ensure safe trade in these locations, it is necessary to rely not only on qualified and trusted staff, but also on the necessary security measures.
Safe "vaults" include drop safes and deposit safes, which do not need to be opened every time money is deposited. These safes come in a variety of sizes, shapes and are adapted to the diverse contents you wish to deposit, so they can be tailored to the nature of your business. Their advantages include advanced locking systems and many variants of security class: S1 and S2 and resistance levels: D-I, D-II and D-III.
Both petrol stations and restaurants successfully use deposit boxes. All employees can put objects and money into them, but the possibility of opening them belongs only to selected people, e.g. the manager or the manager of the facility. This increases the sense of security for the team, but also has a real impact on the protection of sales.

In this way you can also easily eliminate thefts committed by dishonest employees. Sometimes even cameras and monitoring do not deter them. Preventing access to money effectively eliminates the risk of theft and even robbery. Skilled thieves observe the objects they target for a long time and give up on those protected by safeguards which are difficult to break through.
In the case of selected business activities generating very high profits, you can bet on a safe that will also automatically count the amount of cash. This solution is suitable for department stores and supermarkets, for example. Where there are specific needs related to the type of facility being run, it is possible to prepare a safe to individual order. This is because there are security devices that are necessary for the storage of keys, for example in car rental companies.
