In 2000, as the fastest growing franchise company in the world, the first restaurant in Poland opened and Subways freshly made submarine sandwiches were an instant success.

Cashmaster, the market leader in frictionless cash counting machines, approached Subway, to enquire if they could assist the successful franchise to improve its cash handling policy. Specialising in the production and implementation of high precision machines that count cash by weight, Cashmaster believed that they could make a significant difference, not only with regards to time saving but to profitability as well.

Jacek Stec, Subway: “Before Cashmaster contacted us we used to count all the cash from our daily takings, by hand. This caused a number of problems. Not only was it very time consuming but it also proved to be inaccurate on several occasions. When we got the call from Cashmaster they spent time with us to understand what our requirements were. We were offered a free trial with no obligation to buy, which we took full advantage of. The machine was extremely easy to use right from the start with very little instruction required. The different functions were extremely easy to select and it was simple to train our employees how to use. When we decided to place an order for our cash counting machines Cashmaster ensured that we got the best machine for our purposes, not just the most expensive machine that they had to offer.

“Now that we have the Cashmaster system in place we save a lot of time, allowing our staff to get on with more important tasks. Our accuracy at till point has improved as well and if I ever need to perform a spot-check or count a till quickly due to a discrepancy raised by a customer, its not a problem and takes less than one minute.”

It’s important for Subway to be able to stay mobile and use the machine on the move, away from the back office. “This is one of the great advantages of the Cashmaster machine. Before, I used to count all of the money in the back office, now I can move around keeping the till drawer in the till whilst I count, adding a greater level of freedom and control to my job. The increased level of portability has meant that we are not only a lot more efficient in the way we work but we also enjoy it a lot more.”

Cashmaster offers an after sales service to ensure that all of their customers get the most out of their machines, which often exceed expectations on a daily basis. Cashmaster continue to work closely with Subway, ensuring all of their cash counting and reconciliation requirements are met.
