Subway

More than half of Subway’s stores are located in the United States, while within the UK, many franchisees own multiple sub-stores. Volumatic were approached by Malcom Mailer, owner of six Subway franchises in the UK about the challenges that he had encountered with his current cash handling process. Traditionally, his staff skimmed small amounts of cash regularly to reduce the temptation for theft from the till drawer, but this took up valuable operators time and was potentially leading to skims being misplaced. Add to this further time being taken to investigate these discrepencies and efficiency was being compromised. Other challenges that were identified were regular banking inaccuracies and the acceptance of forgeries, the cost of which each store had to absorb.
