Closing the ‘soft spots’: why everyday cash exposure is your real theft risk
When most people think about theft in pubs and clubs, they picture dramatic scenarios – armed robberies, break-ins, smashed doors. In reality, a lot of loss comes from much quieter places. Cash walking through the venue at close, tills being topped up from a bag, multiple people accessing the safe during a busy shift, gaps…
