Each cashier performs a manual Till Countdown at the end of each cashier’s shift.  The amounts captured on the countdown will be used for Till Statistics and Balancing.


Whenever a cashier closes out his or her register, the till must be counted. The cashier manually totals the following on a calculator tape:

  1. Cash in the till - Record the opening cash balance and the total cash in this countdown.  
  2. Checks - Cashier records each check and total checks amounts.
  3. Coupons - Cashier records the total of all coupons or verifies total from Till Status Slip.
  4. In Store Charges receipts – Cashier records the total of all Charge slips or verifies total from Till Status Slip.
  5. Any addition tenders – Cashier records the total of any order tender.
  6. Add the totals for the tender’s amounts to obtain the overall till count.  (Your stores tenders may differ from the above.)
  7. Forward the till and the calculator tape showing these totals to the Bookkeeper.
  8. Electronic Tenders are automatically entered into Till Statistics so there is no need for the cashier to verify these amounts.
