Cash Out is the process of counting the drawer, comparing it to the expected total, and settling any variance before the shift ends.

​
Overview

Cash Out is normally done as part of clock-out but can be triggered independently for handovers, mid-shift float checks, or manager withdrawals. The expected total = opening float + cash sales - cash refunds - cash withdrawals ± adjustments.

Cash-out variances feed the staff performance report and inform loss-prevention analysis.

​
Tips & best practices

Count by denomination. Grand-total counts hide missing high-value notes that even out against surplus coins.

​
Common mistakes

Do not force a cash-out to match the expected total by “finding” cash. Log the true variance — patterns matter for loss prevention.
