Before you close the register

Closing the register is when the day turns into numbers. These checks prevent most discrepancies.

Closing checklist

• Count the cash by denomination.
• Compare card payments with the card terminal report.
• Review transfers and QR payments received.
• Record expenses paid from the register with their receipts.
• Note the reason for any discrepancy.

When something doesn’t balance

A small, repeated difference usually comes from change given or from mixed payments recorded incorrectly. A system that separates payment methods on every sale lets you find the difference in minutes.
