Understand the Cash Till Log
Type: Reference Module: Cash Till Log Template: v0.5
At a glance
The Cash Till Log tracks each cash drawer in your store (registers, safes, or any other cash-holding location) against a per-till threshold, so leaders can flag shortfalls at shift change. The screen combines till selection, drawer configuration, and historical activity in one surface.
Before you start
Viewing tills and history requires Team Member permissions or higher. Adding, editing, or deleting tills requires Manager permissions or higher. Till names and thresholds are shared store-wide, so changes apply to everyone on shift.
Tills and thresholds
A till is any cash-holding location your store uses. The standard configuration includes one central Till, a Safe, and numbered Registers (Register, Register 1, Register 2, Register 3), but the list is fully editable: rename any till, add new ones, or delete ones you do not use.
Each till carries a threshold value. The threshold represents the minimum total expected for that till at any counting point. When the counted total meets or exceeds the threshold, the display shows a blue indicator. When the total is below the threshold, the system flags yellow and fires a warning notification.
Selecting a till
The till selector sits in the top-left corner of the Cash Till Log screen and lists every configured till. Tap the dropdown and choose the till you want to view or count.
Manage Tills
The Manage Tills modal shows every till in your store in a single list, each row with Edit and Delete controls.
Edit lets a leader update the Till Name and the Threshold Value. Changes save immediately and apply for everyone.
Delete removes a till permanently. A confirmation prompt appears before the deletion commits; tap OK to confirm. Past activity for the deleted till stays in the historical record, but no new counts can be logged against it.
Add a Till
The Add Till button opens a modal with two fields: Till Name and Threshold Value. Both are required. New tills appear in the selector dropdown immediately.
History
The Show History button surfaces the activity log for the selected till, so you can review counts over time, spot recurring shortfalls, and reconcile against deposit records.
Validation at a glance
| Total vs threshold | Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Equal to or above threshold | Blue | Till is at or above minimum expected |
| Below threshold | Yellow plus warning | Till is short of minimum expected, leader should investigate |
Use the indicator as a shift-change glance: blue across the board means the drawer math works, yellow anywhere means a leader needs to investigate before the shift closes.
Common gotchas
Threshold values apply per-till, not per-store. A small safe and a busy drive-thru register should carry very different thresholds. Setting them to the same number creates false positives on one side and missed shortfalls on the other.
Till deletion is permanent from the configuration side. If a register is temporarily out of service (POS repair, seasonal closure), leave it in place rather than deleting. Deletion breaks the tie-back from historical counts to the original till name.
Threshold edits apply immediately, including to in-progress counts on the screen. Raising a threshold mid-shift can flip blue indicators to yellow retroactively. Time threshold changes for shift transitions when possible.
