Shift and cash-up

What the person opening and closing the till does: float in, cash movements during the day, count down and read the variance.

Open the shift

  1. Tap ⋮ → Shift / Cash-up. With no shift running the screen says No open shift.
  2. Key the float you are putting in the drawer into Opening float.
  3. Tap Open shift. The message Shift opened appears and the running totals start from zero.

Check the shift during the day

Shift / Cash-up screen with Sales this shift, a by-payment-method breakdown, a cash drawer panel showing opening float $200.00 and expected in drawer $201.84, and Cash in, Cash out and Close shift buttons
Three panels: what sold, how it was paid, and what should be in the drawer right now.
  • Sales this shift — order count, gross, discount, surcharge and GST.
  • By payment method — a line per method with the number of orders and the amount.
  • Cash drawer — opening float, cash sales, cash in, cash out and cash refunds, adding up to Expected in drawer.

Record money in or out of the drawer

  1. Tap Cash in (a float top-up) or Cash out (a payout, a banking drop).
  2. Key the Amount, add a Note (optional) saying what it was for, and tap Confirm. The amount moves Expected in drawer.
Every note you take out or put in outside a sale must go through Cash in / Cash out, or the count at the end of the day will not balance.

Close the shift

  1. Count the drawer.
  2. Tap Close shift. The dialog reminds you what is expected.
  3. Key what you actually counted into Counted cash and tap Close.
  4. Shift closed — Z report shows the order count, gross sales, GST, expected cash, counted cash and the Variance, with a line underneath saying how far short or over the drawer is. Tap Done.
Shift closed Z report dialog showing orders 1, gross sales $1.84, GST $0.24, expected cash $201.84, counted cash $200.00, variance minus $1.84 and Short by $1.84
The Z report is the number you hand over with the drawer.

Open the drawer without a sale

Tap ⋮ → Open cash drawer. On a device with no built-in receipt printer the till answers No cash drawer detected (needs built-in printer) — there is nothing to pop.

Staff clock

  1. Tap ⋮ → Staff clock. Each person has a card showing their role and whether they are off or On shift since a time.
  2. Tap Clock in or Clock out on their card, have them key their PIN and tap OK. A message confirms it and the card updates to show the time they started.
  3. To add someone, tap Add staff and fill in Name, PIN (4-6 digits) and Role — Cashier or Manager.
The manager PIN that approves refunds is the PIN of a person whose role here is Manager (or the owner account).
