You can require staff to enter the starting cash amount at the beginning of their shift. They won't be able to place a new order until they do so.
Activate the option
- Go to Settings > Admin > Payments & Finances > Cash Up, and activate the option 'Force Staff to enter starting cash in drawer at beginning of shift'. Then, press 'Submit' at the bottom the page.
When first logging in from a station, staff members will be prompted to enter the starting cash amount. They will have to:
- Click on the "Start" button to open the cash drawer.
- Count the cash and enter the amount in the starting cash box and add any notes if needed
Have a look at the image below to see what this looks like in practice.
From the cash up page, it will be impossible to edit the starting cash amount.
Additionally, there will be a Red bar reminder if the starting cash has not been entered yet, see the image below. You can start entering the starting cash by clicking on the 'Cash Up' button.
Note: If a user logs in and does not wish to place any orders, they can click on 'I don't need to create orders'. This will override the Starting Cash request.
You won't be able to create or submit new orders until you set an amount.
