00:00:01.326 --> 00:00:05.620
At the end of the day, you close the register. That means counting the cash in the

2
00:00:05.620 --> 00:00:09.966
drawer, and telling the register what you counted. In this episode we close a shift

3
00:00:09.966 --> 00:00:11.170
and look at the report.

4
00:00:13.429 --> 00:00:17.752
Finish any sale in progress first. Then open the main menu, and choose Cash

5
00:00:17.752 --> 00:00:18.386
management.

6
00:00:20.739 --> 00:00:25.406
You will notice that the register does not tell you how much cash should be in the

7
00:00:25.406 --> 00:00:29.958
drawer. That is deliberate. It is called a blind count. You count what is really

8
00:00:29.958 --> 00:00:33.430
there, without being told the answer, so the count is honest.

9
00:00:33.580 --> 00:00:34.734
Tap Close register.

10
00:00:36.603 --> 00:00:41.493
This is the count screen. There is a box for each way the customers paid today. For

11
00:00:41.493 --> 00:00:46.442
cash, either type the total you counted, or count by note and coin using the buttons

12
00:00:46.442 --> 00:00:47.207
on the right.

13
00:00:48.388 --> 00:00:52.283
Count the notes and coins, including the float you started with. We count one

14
00:00:52.283 --> 00:00:53.952
hundred and seventy five dollars.

15
00:00:55.974 --> 00:01:00.521
For card payments and the other methods, type the total from the card terminal's own

16
00:01:00.521 --> 00:01:04.797
end of day report. Our card sale was twenty eight dollars and sixty nine cents.

17
00:01:06.277 --> 00:01:10.663
You can leave a closing note for the manager. If the count was off, this is the

18
00:01:10.663 --> 00:01:11.607
place to say why.

19
00:01:13.036 --> 00:01:18.055
Tap Close register. The register asks you to confirm, because closing cannot be

20
00:01:18.055 --> 00:01:19.072
undone. Confirm.

21
00:01:31.490 --> 00:01:35.670
The shift is closed, and the register shows the report for the shift. This is

22
00:01:35.670 --> 00:01:37.298
sometimes called the Z report.

23
00:01:38.849 --> 00:01:43.082
At the top are the sales, tax and discounts for the whole shift, and how many

24
00:01:43.082 --> 00:01:44.401
transactions there were.

25
00:01:45.755 --> 00:01:50.873
Below are the tenders, which means the ways your customers paid. For each one the

26
00:01:50.873 --> 00:01:56.180
report shows how many payments there were, the amount taken, the amount you counted,

27
00:01:56.180 --> 00:02:01.108
and the variance, which is the difference. A variance of zero means your count

28
00:02:01.108 --> 00:02:04.899
matches exactly. A minus means short, and a plus means over.

29
00:02:05.049 --> 00:02:10.770
Our cash is short by two dollars and six cents, and the report shows it in red. The

30
00:02:10.770 --> 00:02:13.803
card total matches, so its variance is zero.

31
00:02:14.351 --> 00:02:19.604
At the bottom is the cash story. The opening float, the cash sales, the pay ins and

32
00:02:19.604 --> 00:02:24.668
pay outs, and the expected cash in the drawer. That is the one hundred and fifty

33
00:02:24.668 --> 00:02:29.921
dollar float, plus twenty seven dollars and six cents of cash sales. We counted one

34
00:02:29.921 --> 00:02:32.516
seventy five, so we are two oh six short.

35
00:02:32.852 --> 00:02:38.396
A small difference is normal. A big one, or one that happens every day, is something

36
00:02:38.396 --> 00:02:40.310
for the manager to look into.

37
00:02:40.983 --> 00:02:45.665
Tap Done to finish. The register is now closed, until someone opens a new shift.

38
00:02:47.482 --> 00:02:52.303
In the last episode of this season, we see what happens when the internet goes down.
