Cash drawer — opening float to close-out

Track cash through the day: float, movements, and end-of-shift reconciliation

Opening the drawer

At the start of each shift:

  1. Tap the wallet icon in the top bar
  2. Enter your opening float (e.g. $200)
  3. Tap Open drawer

The app prompts you on first sign-in of the shift if the drawer isn't open yet.

What gets tracked automatically

Every cash sale, cash refund, and tip in cash auto-records to the drawer. You'll see a timeline of movements:

  • Opening float — your starting cash
  • Sales — one entry per cash sale
  • Refunds — cash refunds subtract
  • Cash in — manual deposit (e.g. change run)
  • Cash out — manual withdrawal (e.g. paying a supplier out of the till)

Cash in / cash out

Need to pull cash for a delivery or drop a change run into the drawer?

  1. Open the drawer screen
  2. Cash in or Cash out → enter the amount + a reason
  3. The movement shows up on the timeline + in reports

Closing the drawer

At the end of the shift:

  1. Drawer screen → Close drawer (red button at the bottom)
  2. The close-out sheet shows a full breakdown:

- Opening float

- Cash sales (count + total)

- Cash in

- Cash out

- Refunds (cash)

- Expected in drawer — the authoritative figure

  1. Physically count the cash, enter it in Counted cash
  2. The sheet shows Match, Over, or Short with the exact diff
  3. Add a note if there's a discrepancy (helps auditing later)
  4. Tap Print summary to print to any configured receipt printer
  5. Tap Close drawer to end the session

Survives crashes

Drawer state auto-persists to local storage on every movement. If the app crashes or the tablet reboots, you reopen the app and the drawer is exactly where you left it — opening float, every movement, the lot.

Multiple staff sharing one drawer

Whoever signs in with their PIN is stamped on each cash movement, but the drawer itself is device-scoped. If you run two tills, each has its own drawer.
