For cash control, two cash drawers can be configured to have restricted access:

  • Device must have drawer assignment enabled (devices cannot use drawers if setting is not enabled) 
  • Each cash drawer is assigned to an individual 
  • Per job permission, user cannot complete payment unless assigned to a drawer
  • Each individual is responsible for the money in their assigned drawer. 
  • Cash out reports can be run by drawer or by employee for financial accountability. 
  • Both drawers share one printer (separate printers not required) 

Account feature toggle required
