Frequently asked questions
Staff open the register with a starting float, transactions track through the shift, and the drawer is counted and reconciled at close. Any variance is recorded against the shift and the person who ran it.
In a blind close, the person counting the drawer cannot see what the system expects to be there. They count what is actually in the till, and the system compares afterward. It removes the temptation to make the count match the expected number, which is the single most useful cash control a small store can turn on.
A Z-report is the end-of-shift summary for a register: total sales, tenders by type, voids, refunds, and the cash position. Simple generates it automatically at close, so you have a clean record per shift per drawer.
Yes. Pay in and pay out are logged as their own entries with a reason, so petty cash and mid-shift drops are accounted for instead of showing up as an unexplained variance.
Yes. Each staff member works under their own account, so transactions are attributed to the individual even when several people share one physical register through a shift.
