Safes for Bars, Restaurants, and Retail Stores

How to Choose the Ideal Retail Safe

Selecting a safe for your business should not be left to chance. Each store has unique needs depending on numerous factors. Carefully analyzing these variables is the first step to identifying the most suitable solution, ensuring a targeted and effective investment. Here are the key criteria to consider:

• Volume and Frequency of Cash Flow: a small bar with modest cash flow will have different needs compared to a large supermarket or restaurant. Assess the average amount of daily collections and the frequency with which staff needs to make deposits to determine the capacity and type of safe (e.g., with a deposit slot).
• Risk Level and Location: a business located in a high-risk area or operating at night requires a higher level of protection. Burglary resistance certifications (according to the European standard EN 1143-1) become a crucial parameter for defining the safe’s resistance level.
• Available Space and Installation: the physical space available determines the choice between a freestanding safe (floor safe), which is more spacious and robust, or a wall safe, which is more discreet and space-saving. Correct installation and solid anchoring are essential to maximize security.
• Access Management: How many employees will need to use the safe? A safe with a code for business with an electronic lock allows you to create multiple user codes, track access, and set features such as time delay, a strong deterrent against robberies.
• Type of Items to Secure: besides cash, you might need to protect important documents, electronic devices, or other valuables. The internal size and any shelves or drawers are factors to consider.
• Insurance Coverage: insurance companies often require the installation of safes with a specific grade of certification to guarantee theft coverage. Verifying your policy’s requirements is a crucial step.

Types of Safes for Shops, Bars, and Restaurants

The Bordogna Casseforti offering for the commercial sector is designed to cover every specific operational and security need. From the simplest solutions for quick deposits to armored systems for the protection of substantial values, each model is the result of decades of experience in security.

Deposit Slot Safes: The Anti-robbery Solution

The ultimate anti-robbery store safe is the deposit slot model. This type allows operators to deposit cash and slips into the safe without opening it and without accessing the contents. It is the ideal solution to minimize cash in the register and limit risks during opening hours.

• Anti-fishing Features: our deposit systems are equipped with special mechanisms that prevent “fishing” for money once inserted, ensuring that what is deposited remains secure.
• Access Separation: only authorized personnel (e.g., the owner or a security carrier) can open the main door for withdrawals, while all other employees can only make deposits.
• Flagship Models: the GP-TP-RP Deposit series, certified under European standard EN 1143-2, and specialized solutions like the CASH BUNKER and Ardea-Ares Fer, are specifically designed for secure cash management in retail and HORECA sectors.

Freestanding Safes for High Volumes of Cash

For businesses handling large amounts of money or needing to secure high-value items, freestanding safes provide the safest option. Floor-anchored, they offer superior structural resistance and high certification levels.

• Armoured Construction: models like Kuma, Horus, and Rubin Pro SB are made with advanced construction technologies and high-resistance composite materials, achieving certification grades (up to Grade IV EN 1143-1) ideal for protecting substantial values.
• Generous Capacity and Modularity: these safes offer ample internal volumes, customizable with shelves and internal compartments for better organization. The modular Zeus series also allows for custom-made safes in hard-to-reach places.

Wall Safes: Discreet Security and Space Optimization

When space is limited or a completely hidden security solution is desired, wall safes are ideal. Embedded in the wall, they offer excellent protection while remaining invisible and discreet. They are perfect for offices, backrooms, or small stores.

• Space-saving Design: the Andromeda series is designed to integrate seamlessly into masonry, certified Grade III, according to the strict European Standard EN 1143-1, ensuring high resistance to burglary attempts.
• Easy Concealment: once installed, a wall safe can be easily hidden behind a painting, a piece of furniture, or another decorative element, further increasing security.
