Shifts and Z-reports

A shift brackets every trading session. Opening a shift captures the float (starting cash), closing it captures the counted cash, and the variance is whatever's unaccounted for.

Open

From Cashier, click Open shift. Enter the float (default $200). The shift appears in Admin → Reports → Shifts.

Close

From Cashier, click Close shift. Enter the counted cash. The close-shift dialog shows every tender that had activity this shift — cash, card, QR wallet, gift card — so you don't have to remember.

Reconcile

The variance between *expected cash* (float + cash sales – cash refunds – payouts) and *counted cash* is the shift variance. Any magnitude above $5 requires a manager override. This is recorded on the audit log and the daily summary.

Z-report

The Z-report is the classic end-of-day roll-up. In venue-local time: total sales by tender, refunds, total payouts, variance, and a per-order index. Available in Admin → Reports → Daily summary.
