Quick answer: At Gulfsafes, a café setup (Fin-890 counter with a Valberg ASD-19EL drop safe) costs SAR 5,520 incl. VAT. A restaurant that closes mixed tills and cashes up delivery drivers needs a value counter: the CX-7500 with an ASD-32 EL safe costs SAR 9,775. A late-night or drive-through restaurant with a Fin-7900 and a time-delay DSC 67 KK safe costs SAR 17,710, and a restaurant group head office with a Kisan K2, coin counter and safe costs SAR 19,320. Delivery is free across Saudi Arabia, with mada, Apple Pay and Tamara.
Restaurant cash comes from more places than a shop's: dine-in, takeaway and drive-through tills, delivery drivers returning with cash-on-delivery money, and, in a group, every branch's takings arriving at one office. The counter makes each count a minute's job; the drop safe keeps the cash out of open tills during the rush.

Why late-night restaurants need a time-delay safe
The DSC 67 KK costs SAR 5,980 more than the ASD-32 EL because its electronic lock can be set to open only after a delay. Restaurants that stay open late, or receive drivers' cash after midnight, are a target; a safe that cannot be opened on demand makes them a poor one.
A 6-step restaurant closing routine
- Cash up each driver as they finish: count their cash on the value counter and match it to their delivery orders in the POS.
- Print each till's report before removing the drawer.
- Count each till in one pass on the value counter, with the cashier present.
- Check any rejected note by hand against SAMA's published security features, and record it with the cashier's or driver's name.
- Count the coins and compare every total with its report. Sign the count sheet, including any difference.
- Lock the takings in the deposit safe until the bank run or the head-office collection.
Restaurant groups: one count, every branch
Count each branch bag separately on the K2 at head office and keep the result with the branch's daily report. One counter model at every branch and head office means managers can compare counts directly. Running a group? You may also want touchless kitchen attendance: see our face recognition attendance prices for restaurants.
