Paying cash in and out of the till

Any time cash goes into or out of the till without a sale, record it in the POS. Paying the window cleaner, buying ice, or adding change to the drawer all count. If you don't, the till comes up over or under at the end of the shift.

Open Paid In/Out

  1. Tap Shift at the top of the screen.

  2. Tap Paid In/Out.

Money paid in to the till is listed on the left in green, starting with the Bank Start. Money paid out is on the right in red. Each line shows who paid it out and when (Figure 1).

You'll only see Paid In/Out on the station that has the till, and only if you've claimed the till or have closeout rights.

Pay cash out

  1. Tap Pay Out.

  2. Type the amount on the keypad (Figure 2). The keypad takes whole dollars unless you press the decimal point: 20 is 20.00, 4.50 is 4.50.

  3. Say what it was for. Either tap one of the buttons below Description, or tap the Description box and type it.

  4. Tap the green check.

The pay out is added to the list, a slip prints, and the drawer opens so you can take the cash out.

Regular payees. The buttons under Description, such as your window cleaner or a local farm, are set up in BREW POS Admin. Ask a manager to add the ones you pay often.

Pay cash in

  1. Tap Pay In.

  2. Type the amount.

  3. Tap the green check.

Use this when cash is added to the till during the shift, such as extra change from the safe.

Fix or reprint a paid out

Tap the arrow at the end of the line (Figure 3).

  • Reprint prints the slip again.

  • Edit lets you change the amount or the description.

The box also shows the amount, who paid it out and when.

Check the till

Tap The Till at the top (Figure 4). Pay ins and pay outs are already counted in CASH EXPECTED:

cash expected = bank start + paid in + cash sales, minus paid out and tips paid

Tap Trial at the bottom for a mid-shift report of the till. It prints, or is sent by text if there's no receipt printer. See When the till is over or under if the count doesn't match.
