moreTILL COUNT OVER COUNT UNDER
When the close out for a till does not match the money in the till there are several likely problems that stem from employee error.
- Was the till fully counted and the correct bank start entered at the start of the day?
- Were all paid in transactions and all paid out transactions accounted for?
- Were all employee tips removed prior to counting the drawer for closeout?
- Was the drawer counted incorrectly? Did the employee use the count form?
If the Closeout is over (more money in till than expected) the most likely problems to check are
- The count of the till is incorrect. Try to have employees use the count form if
continually a problem
- There was a paid in not recorded.
- The bank start was not recorded...
CHANGES TO PRINTING
In our latest release, you can have up to 8 Kitchen printers defined for each workstation, plus a Bar and an Expo printer. A Product can now be printed on multiple printers.
Another change is that every item that prints to a ‘kitchen printer’ is duplicated on the Expo printer, not just those Products that went to the Kitchen printer. In this sense, ‘kitchen printer’ means Kitchen and/or Aux1 – Aux7.
The Product screen allows you to select these new printing options:
This Product, at the Santa Fe Location, will print to the Kitchen, Aux2, Aux3 and the Expo printer, if one is configured.
