End of Day Till Reconciliation

End of Day Till Reconciliation

This guide will demonstrate how to finalise the till at end of day.

If you have entered a float at the beginning of the day, then you will need to "Float Out". This can be done by:
  1. Login with a user that has access to Money In / Out
  2. Press Menu Bar (top left hand corner)
  3. Press Money In/Out
  4. Enter the Float Amount
  5. Enter a Note - i.e. "Float Out"
  6. Press Save Money Out
Once that has been completed, we can now finalise the till.
  1. Login with a user that has access to Takings
  2. Press Menu Bar (top left hand corner)
  3. Press Takings. If you have open orders, you can either close them off or finalise whilst they are still open.
When you press "Finalise Anyways", you will now see a screen whereby you can enter the amounts for each payment type. For some payment methods (integrated eftpos, online ordering, etc), the amounts will prefill and automatically reconcile. For the other amounts, you can find these by going to your Takings History page. 
  1. Press Takings History.
  2. Press "Not yet finalised" and Print. This will print a summary of your takings for today, broken down by each payment type.
Now that we have a breakdown of payments by each payment method, we can enter this in to close off the till. 
  1. Go back to "Finalise Takings".
  2. Enter your cash counted (make sure you exclude the float).
  3. For payments that do not automatically reconcile, such as Uber Eats, Yoom etc, enter the recorded value from the summary we printed earlier.
  4. Scroll down to the bottom and check the difference line (this should be as close to $0 as possible).
If your difference is not $0, then there is a variance between what the system says you should have vs what you actually have. Double check the values entered and ensure that they are correct, before finalising.
