Every register runs a shift: opening cash in the morning → sales all day → a counted close at night. Day close is the moment the drawer gets reconciled.
Close a shift
- On the POS, open the More menu.
- Choose Day close.
- Count the physical cash in the drawer and enter it.
- Review the expected vs counted totals — small differences are flagged so you can note why.
- Confirm to close the shift.
Tip: Count the drawer before looking at the expected number. Knowing what's "supposed" to be there makes miscounts tempting to ignore — blind counting keeps the books honest.
What day close captures
- Opening cash, cash sales, cash in/out movements through the shift
- Expected vs counted drawer, and the difference
- Sales totals for the register's day
Habits that prevent pain
- Close every register daily — an open shift across days muddies the cash trail.
- Clear stale held carts before closing.
- If a cash drop or expense happened mid-shift, record it when it happens (Smart POS: type
500 generatorin the omnibox) — don't reconstruct it at close.
Owners see the bigger picture in sales reports and the accounting cashbook.
