How do folks deal with the cash issue?
We currently just have a metal cashbox in a desk drawer, and only
staff have access to it. But we've doubled our staff over the past
year, and have new ones coming on board. Our bookkeeper is a bit
concerned about so many people having unchecked access to the cash,
especially on busy nights when there can b a couple hundred dollars
in small bills. (The box is put away after each shift in a hiding
place, and excess cash removed on a nightly basis during the busy
season.)
Our transactions are currently just written into a book, but it's
looking like having a cash register is going to be the smart way to
go, both for security as well as tracking transactions. We currently
are cash-only, no Interac or Visa.
