Handle what cash? All automated when you place your order. Stick your debit/credit card/gift card into the machine or even feed cash into it.
Virtually eliminates employee theft, screw ups in making change and order foul ups. Eliminates cashier count outs at shift end. Not a real biggie but multiply the minutes x cashiers x shift changes. No more worrying about drug use, absenteeism, late arrivals, training time, all drains on bottom line.
As for the general custodial work, really only need 1 per shift. Most times around here you see the owner or mgr doing a lot that work to see things run smoothly.
Big savings are in net cost of employee, SocSec contribution, unemployment, workman's comp, benefits, insurance, and so forth.
And the automated cookers coming online now can replace the former fry cooks with current hourly of about $9.25, across the big fast food chains, anticipating the the $15+costs increase.
Big win? Maybe, maybe just holding on with rising costs in other categories.
