Total Cash to Take Out
Do you leave some cash in your drawer each night to start the next day with?
We have now made it easier than ever to calculate how much cash to take out of the drawer every night:
1 Start off the day with a “Cash Count” to make sure the amount you left in the drawer the previous night is still there.
2 When the day is over go to “Take Cash Out.”
The “Expected Cash Amount” shows the total in the drawer including the amount you started the day with.
The new line we’ve added, “Total Cash to take out,” shows the amount to take out of the drawer not including what you started the day with.
By removing the “Total Cash to take out” your drawer will be left with your amount to start the next day with. (In this case $100)

Disable Checks as a Payment Method
Do you only accept Cash and Credit Card Sales? Now you may disable the ability to accept Checks as a payment method at your locations.
This can give you peace of mind that no checks will be accepted as a form of payment.
1 On the Management Screen go to Location Settings. Then choose the Location Preferences tab.
2 To block the use of checks, simply uncheck the box for “Allow check as payment.”
Now on the Sales Screen the Check icon can not be accessed and appears faded.

Cash and Credit Card Totals are now included in your End Of Day Report SMS
Now the End of Day Report you receive on your phone will be even more detailed. We have added the Cash and Credit Card Totals to keep you up to date with your Payment Method totals.
