Open
- The cashier logs in with their PIN on the register.
- They count the starting cash by denomination and enter it. The register is now open in their name.
During the shift
- Safe drop: when the drawer holds more than your limit, choose Safe drop, enter the amount, put the cash in the safe.
- Payouts: lottery winners, cash paid to a vendor or a refund in cash are logged with a reason.
- Pay-in: change brought from the safe is logged as a pay-in.
Close
- Choose Close register.
- Count the cash by denomination. The cashier does not see the expected amount (blind count).
- Enter card and other totals if your processor’s terminal is not connected.
- Confirm. The POS shows over or short and saves it against the cashier.

Owners and managers see every shift under Reports → Register. Look at over/short by cashier across weeks, not one night.
