Cash, Counts and the Cash Ledger
Opening count at the start of the shift, interim counts through the day, close at the end, drops into the safe. Every movement carries a type and lands in the cash ledger, which is where the arguments about a variance stop.
What it does
The shift lead hands over on a number and takes over on a number. Opening takes a minute, closing takes a minute. If there is a gap, who, when and how much is in the ledger. Tips, cash paid out and bank drops each carry their own type.
What you get
Open and close the drawer
Opened and closed per shift, with expected against counted, so a gap shows itself rather than being found later.
Interim counts
Mid-service counts with a note attached, and the report is there if anyone asks for it.
The safe
A safe per site, transfers and a trail, so a large amount does not sit in a drawer through the evening.
Movement types
Tips, cash paid out, bank drop, refund, each in its own category and visible as such in the reports.
Cash ledger
One ledger for every movement, with reporting, filtering and export.
Several registers
More than one register per site (bar, floor, takeaway), counted and reported apart.
Frequently asked
Does SterkChef produce X and Z reports?
Yes. An X report can be drawn at any point in the service without closing anything, and the Z report closes the till and is written to the fiscal device where the law requires it. Both stay in the cash ledger with the operator's name on them.
