Day Close and Cash Reconciliation for Restaurants

At the end of a shift the bills raised are counted against what actually came in. A short or excess amount is recorded, not argued about later.

What the close compares

The system knows what was billed. The cashier enters what is in hand.

Cash in the drawer

The counted notes and coins are entered against the cash bills of the shift, with the opening float taken into account.

Card and UPI

The machine total and the UPI credits are entered and read against the bills settled in those modes.

Platform orders

App orders are shown as collected by the platform, so they are kept out of the cash count and followed on the statement instead.

Cash paid out

Market purchase money, a supplier paid from the till and a staff advance all leave the drawer. Each is entered so the count agrees.

Shifts, cashiers and handover

Most restaurants run two sessions, and often two cashiers. A shift can be closed on its own, with the float handed to the next cashier and the counted amount recorded against the cashier handing over. The manager reads the shift summary before the second session starts. Where one person runs the counter all day, a single close at night is enough. The choice is yours.

What the owner sees the next morning

What the close does not settle

  • It does not chase a platform payout for you
  • It does not decide who bears a shortage
  • It does not post entries into your accounting books
  • Bank credits are matched only when they are entered
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can two cashiers close separately?

Yes. Each shift closes with its own count, float and handover note against the cashier’s name.

What if the cash is short?

The difference is recorded with the cashier’s note. How a shortage is handled is your rule, not ours.

Does it include money paid for vegetables from the till?

Yes. Cash paid out is entered during the shift, so the drawer count and the bills agree.

Can a closed day be reopened?

Only by someone you allow. The change stays visible with the person and the time against it.
