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

How to use it

  1. Make sure no tabs are open in Pending Bills โ€” settle or cancel them first.
  2. Open Cash Drawer from the side menu.
  3. Tap End Shift.
  4. Physically count the cash in the drawer.
  5. Enter the counted Closing Cash on the numeric keypad.
  6. If the counted amount leaves cash behind or doesn't match, Klu shows a confirmation with the difference โ€” tap End Shift to proceed or Cancel to recount.
  7. The shift is sealed and the Z-report prints if a Star printer is connected.

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.
