Cash, Counts and Cash Ledger
Open count at shift start, interim counts during the day, close at shift end, transfers to the safe. Every movement classified by transaction type and audited in the cash ledger — variance arguments end.
What it does
The shift lead hands over with hard numbers, takes over with hard numbers. Open takes a minute, close takes a minute. If there's a gap, who, when and how much is in the ledger. Tips, expense pays, bank deposits — all categorised.
