  1. Begin entering cash amounts (by denomination).

  2. The system will live update variance in the top-right corner.

  3. Once the variance shows $0, click Submit.

  4. If the variance is not $0 the user will need to enter a comment in order to submit

Purpose of a Safe Count

A safe count records and reconciles the actual cash held in your venue’s safe.

  • Ensures cash records in Wirely match the physical money.

  • Highlights any variance between expected and counted amounts.

  • Provides an audit trail for accountability.

Variance Handling

  • If a variance remains, recount the cash carefully before submitting.

  • Record any discrepancies in your venue’s variance reporting process.

  • Submitting with an unresolved variance may affect end-of-day reconciliation.

Best Practices

  • Perform 3-4 safe counts daily, preferably at the beginning and end of trading.

  • Always count with a second staff member present for accountability.

  • Keep variance notes clear in case of later investigation.

When to Contact your System Admin

  • Safe count entries are not saving or displaying in the Movements Log.

  • The Safe module shows incorrect fixed amounts or floats.
