You can ensure staff enter the starting cash amount at shift start, a vital step before creating new orders.
Activation Steps
Go to Settings > Admin > Payments & Finances > Cash Up.
Activate 'Force Staff to enter starting cash in drawer at beginning of shift'. Then, press 'Submit' at the bottom of the page.
Staff Procedure
Upon logging in, staff will be prompted to enter the starting cash amount.
Click on the "Start (Open Drawer)" button to open the cash drawer.
Count the cash and enter the amount in the starting cash box, adding any necessary notes and coins.
Pro tip: A red bar highlights the absence of the starting cash entry. Staff not placing orders can select 'I don't need to create orders' to bypass the cash requirement. However, new orders are pending until the starting cash is entered.
Note: To rectify a missed entry, click 'Cash Up'. However, it's not possible to edit the starting cash amount from the Cash Up page.
