Close the day in ten minutes.

Fresh keeps the cash side of the day honest: what each shift took is worked out from completed orders, and a close is written once and never changed.

Cash Management for the open shift: a $200 float, $467.81 in cash sales and $336.55 on cards, so $667.81 expected in the drawer

The End of Day screen: net sales of $766.00, 26 orders, an average ticket of $30.94 and cash sales of $467.81, with a Begin close button

Expected cash, worked out

Expected cash is the float + cash sales + cash in − drops − cash refunds and voids. Fresh works it out from completed orders and the movements you record, so you compare a count against a number you can trust. An order with no payment method is never counted as cash.

Count with notes and coins

Your notes and coins, your float and your closing checklist are settings, so the count matches your drawer. Cash is shown with cents.

Voids and refunds that leave a trail

An item voided at the till is recorded as a void. Money given back for a paid order is a refund, for items or the whole order, written once and never changed; the order stays as it was paid. A cash refund needs an open shift and is recorded against it, so expected cash stays true. Each one has a reason from your own list and can be locked behind a manager’s PIN.

A close that cannot be rewritten

A closed shift and an end-of-day close are written once. That gives you a record you can rely on when something does not add up. Our cash-up checklist walks through the routine.

Questions

How is expected cash calculated?

Float plus cash sales plus cash in, minus drops and cash voids or refunds, from completed orders and recorded movements.

Can I edit a closed shift?

No. A closed shift and a day’s close are written once, so the record stays trustworthy.
