Restaurants & cafés: shift close
Restaurant shift close: count, compare, hand over
TajerGo ends each restaurant shift with a cash count compared with the cash expected from recorded sales, flags any variance and keeps a Z report naming who closed it. Each till closes on its own and rolls up to the branch. Refunds, voids and overrides carry a reason, and credit sales sit in khata so they never look like missing cash.
Step by step
How it works
Count the drawer
The cashier counts cash at the end of the shift; card totals come from the recorded payments.
The drawer counted against expected cash and card totals Compare with expected
TajerGo compares the count with the cash expected from sales in that shift and flags the difference.
Card and cash payments that make up the expected totals Explain the exceptions
Refunds, voids and overrides already carry a reason, so the manager checks them before blaming the float.
Refunds and overrides with their reasons, waiting for review Hand over the Z report
The close names who closed it, credit sales sit in khata, and the next shift starts from a clean drawer.

Frequently asked questions
How is restaurant cash variance calculated?
TajerGo compares the counted cash with the cash expected from sales recorded in the shift and flags the difference at close.
Can each till close separately?
Yes. Each till closes on its own and rolls up to the shift and branch view.
Does a variance prove a cashier made a mistake?
No. It is a prompt to check refunds, voids and the float before acting.
Is shift close an extra cost?
No. Shift close is part of the POS on every plan.
