Close a shift
Count the drawer, record the closing balance, and hand off cleanly.
Overview
Closing a shift finalizes the day's sales, records the counted cash, and surfaces any discrepancy between expected and actual. The Dashboard keeps a permanent record that managers can review on the Shifts tab.
When to use it
- End of day, after the last sale
- Shift changeover between cashiers mid-day
- Forced close before unpairing or replacing a device

Tips & gotchas
- Closing is blocked while pending bills are unsettled โ resolve them from the Pending Bills screen first.
- Closing the shift does NOT log the user out โ the next cashier still signs in with their own PIN.
- Any gap between expected and counted cash is visible to managers in the Dashboard's Shifts tab โ leave a note if something unusual happened during the shift.
