Cash Register
The cash register is available on Starter, Standard, and Pro plans.
The cash register tracks all cash movement during a shift. It provides accountability for cash in the drawer and helps identify discrepancies at the end of the day.
Opening the Register
- Go to Cash Register in the sidebar
- Click Open Register
- Enter the opening float -- the starting cash amount in the drawer
- The register session begins and is tied to the current staff member and location
During the Shift
While the register is open, the following events are tracked automatically or manually:
| Event Type | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Cash sales | Automatically recorded when a cash payment is processed |
| Cash portion of split payments | Only the cash part is recorded |
| Pay In | Manual entry when cash is added to the drawer (e.g., change from the bank) |
| Pay Out | Manual entry when cash is removed (e.g., petty cash expense) |
To record a pay in or pay out, click the respective button and enter the amount and a reason.
Closing the Register
-
Click Close Register
-
Enter the closing count -- the actual cash amount in the drawer
-
The system calculates the expected cash:
Expected = Opening Float + Cash Sales + Pay Ins - Pay Outs -
The discrepancy (difference between expected and actual) is displayed
-
Click Confirm to close the session
Register Summary
After closing, a summary is available showing:
