Laura:  In EVERY room I have ever played in, Security took care of pulling the rake boxes.  I believe that as a table is closed, the dealer or floor takes care of the dealer tip boxes.  I don't know about bbj boxes. 

You may want to look carefully at what procedures are required by your local gaming authority with regard to security, etc. 

Spence:
BBJ is not a really big deal as it can just be counted off the floor in your soft count room(Chips) As for rake if you are a twenty four hour casino there are many procedures to take into place. First, you will want do your rake pull at the same time everyday. As the manager on duty record the number of hours the table is open and correlate that with the audited drop total and the end of the day. You should be able to estimate your daily rake to within a few hundred dollars. Each table can make $150 per hour roughly depending on your dealers, players, and other such variables. You might want to do some Hand per hour tracking to figure this out. Second, when it is time to pull the box this should be done by security and your count team if you have one. If not then I assume that the cashiers are the ones doing all the chip counts at days end. Who does your slot drop? Usually the same staff will do the poker rake as well. The rake boxes will have a lock on them as well so your security should be the only ones who can pull them.
If you want to create the procedure yourself I would start with finding out who is doing the drop for the rest of the casino, get them to do your poker boxes as well. Then find out who does the count for slots and have them take on the poker rake too. Next if you do run 24 hours set a shift start where all your rollovers happen. The BBJ would get updated and the rake hours get changed to a new day. You may like this to happen at Noon, or maybe your morning shift start time.
I hope some of this helps. If you'd like send me an E-mail and I might be able to send of excerpts from an old manual I have on our procedures.

casacubana:

You can probably be creative with any money that is not the "Houses" as long as you are able to account for each and every penny. 

It has been my experience that the House is very, very, very strict and has absolutely NO tolerance for foolishness when dealing with the "House Money". 

I would be very careful and have any "creativity" you wish to employ be approved by every ladder step above you.
