📖 How to use the "Cash Count" feature for efficient cash management?

Say goodbye to tedious manual calculator pressing. This feature helps you and your staff quickly count by denomination, and the system automatically calculates the total. This avoids "overage/shortage" disputes caused by calculation errors, making every cash transaction accountable.

1. When to use this feature?

• Shift Change: When cashiers change shifts, quickly reconcile the cash drawer.
• Closing: At the end of the business day, accurately tally daily cash revenue.
• Spot Check: When you want to check if the cash drawer amount is correct at any time.

2. Where is the feature?

On the POS device, click 【More】 on the Front Station main page, then select 【Cash Count】 to access it.

3. How to use it step-by-step?

Step 1: Enter Cash Quantity

Simply look at the cash drawer and enter the Quantity next to the corresponding denomination (e.g., $100, $50, $20) on the screen.

• The system will automatically calculate the Total amount for you, eliminating the need for a manual calculator.

🚀 Tip: Use Keyboard Shortcuts If you want to count faster, you can use keyboard operations:
* Tab Key: Quickly jump to the next denomination input box.
* Number Keys: Enter quantity.
* Enter Key: Confirm/Save data.
* Backspace Key: Delete quantity.

Step 2: Save and Print

After entering, click 【Save】 in the bottom right corner.

• 【Print】： Recommended. The system will print a receipt with detailed denominations as a voucher for financial reconciliation.
• 【Exit】： Only saves the data and exits the current page.

Step 3: View History Records (Optional)

Want to review previous counts?

Click 【Cash Records】 in the top right corner of the page to view all count history records from the last 3 days at any time.

4. Who can use this feature? (Permission Management)

For fund security, you can control who has permission to use this feature:

• Enabled by default: Owner, Manager, and Waiter1 can use it directly by default.
• Grant permissions to other staff: If you need regular staff to perform counts, please log in to the Merchant Admin Portal (Admin.fronttab.com), go to 【Organization】->【Role Management】->【Edit Role】, and check the 【Cash Count】 permission.

5. Do I need to set up the printer separately?

No.

This feature uses the "Report Printer" scheme already set up in your system by default.
