Summary
A cashout is usually done at the end of the server's shift in order for the server to report any cash they've received in payment from customers. This is done to balance the transactions and ensure there are no overages or shortages.
The app allows the user to cash out more than once per day. If a server is working a split shift, for example, they would cash out for each shift worked that day.
Automatic cashout:
- An automatic cashout occurs at the end-of-day (EOD) for pending cashouts for manager or users that don't use the time clock.
- Setting: Sites > Store Hours > System Daily Close Time
- Setting: Sites > Store Hours > System Daily Close Time
- An automatic cashout also occurs at the end of the pay period for all pending cashouts for time clock users. If, for instance, the restaurant's pay period time occurs after the end-of-day, all pending cash-outs for time clock users are also automatically cashed out.
- Setting: Sites > Store Hours > Start of Pay Period Date/Time
In order to cash out:
- The user must be unassigned from all locations
- All open checks (unfinished transactions) must be closed/finalized
A warning will display when the user tries to finalize the cashout if these conditions are not met.
- Message: Unfinished transactions (open checks)
- Tap Dismiss to close window and return to cashout window
- Tap Go to table to go to the location with the unfinished transaction
- Message: User assigned to locations
- Tap Dismiss to close the message and return to the cashout window
ECM Configuration
Setting - Reset Total Sales
The site can choose to either display a cumulative sales total for the day for each server or to reset the sales totals to $0 each time the server cashes out.
This is a site-level setting found on the Reports tab of the Site in ECM.
To configure sales to be reset with each cash-out:
Note: If this is not checked, the printed cashout will reflect the total sales of the user for the entire day.
