Why close the cash register?
Cash register closing is a practical tool that helps create a financial summary based on the cash register after a workday. It provides insight into the following financial figures:
Opening balance: the amount of cash in the register at the start of the day
Verification of card payments: compare the amount withdrawn with the receipts
End-of-day cash balance: based on the manual count of cash at the end of the day
Amount deposited from the register: including suggestions on how much to deposit
Final cash balance: usually used as the opening balance for the next day
All this data is saved in the system once completed, allowing the salon to compile financial information for the accountant weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
