Shifts
Menu: Reporting → Shifts · Who: owner, branch manager
A shift is one cashier's turn on one till. It is opened with a float, closed with a count, and it is what tells you which person was short, not merely which day.
A day close is per branch. A shift is per till, per cashier, inside that day.
Opening a shift
The cashier signs in at the till and is asked for the opening float — what is in the drawer before anything is sold. A sale needs an open shift; the till says so rather than half-working.
Closing a shift
At the end of the turn the cashier counts the drawer and enters Counted cash — what is actually in the drawer. Everything else is the server's:
| Figure | Who |
|---|---|
| Opening float | The cashier, at the start |
| Cash sales, refunds, payouts | The server |
| Expected in drawer | The server |
| Counted cash | The cashier, at the end |
| Over / short | The server: counted − expected |
Short reads as a negative number — the drawer's own convention, the same as a stock count. The browser computes none of it.
The list
Filter by All shifts, Open now or Closed. Each row shows the till, the cashier, when it opened and closed, and the variance.
Closed by a manager means the cashier went home without closing and a manager did it for them. It is marked, because a drawer counted by somebody who did not sell out of it is a different kind of figure.
The Declaration Sales Report
Open any closed shift and press Declaration Sales Report — one page for that cashier's turn: what they sold, how it was paid, what was declared and what the difference came to. This is the sheet to sign and file.
Shifts and the day close
The day close is still per branch. A shift is a breakdown inside the day, not a day of its own — so closing a shift does not close the day, and closing the day does not excuse an uncounted drawer.
