Cashout processing

Every shift closes out reconciled

Tender totals matched to the POS, tip pools split and calculated automatically, and discrepancies flagged before the drawer closes — not discovered the next morning.

  • Cash, card, and debit tenders auto-matched against POS totals
  • Tip pools calculated and recorded by hours, points, or role
  • Variances flagged in the moment, not after the shift is gone

Tip recordkeeping

Tip reporting built from source records

Controlled and direct tips are tracked separately from the moment they're logged, with a timestamped audit trail on every distribution — so a CRA review isn't a scramble.

  • Controlled vs. direct tips tracked from source records
  • Every tip pool distribution logged with timestamp and method
  • Tip totals ready to export for review

  • Overtime flagged before period-end review
