| + | This distinction matters for daily cash handling procedure. A cashier who needs to remove excess cash from the drawer partway through a shift should never need the main combination or key to do it. Dropping the cash through the slot and continuing the sale keeps the count moving without exposing the safe's full contents to anyone at register level. | ||

| + | A Bluetooth connected drop safe is one example. Instead of only a physical lock, it pairs with an app that can log unlock activity and send an alert when the safe is opened, giving an owner visibility into a piece of equipment that used to be a black box between cash drops. Multiple unlock methods, rather than a single key or code, also mean a business is not stuck if one method fails. | ||
