END DRAWER

[jgrgetich]

The last time it was brought up was in 2016. 7 years ago.  As a retail store, when an employee ends the drawer, have an additional way to count the drawer.  As in...
$100.00        (amount)

$50.00          (amount)

$20.00          (amount)

so on and so forth.... 

Close drawer should also have a count as in how much is in the drawer for starting cash for the employee closing. So when a different employee opens the drawer, another count is made.  An alert should notify the manager/owner of a wrong starting drawer.  Leaving it up to the employees or putting the burden of faith and loyalty on them when the drawer is wrong... is wrong.  Managers or whoever we assign as owners should be immediately notified when a drawer is off. Especially when we have multiple registers....
why have an employee use a calculator when square should do it anyways.

I second a more robust drawer and close out/open system is needed. It's hard to pinpoint issues with the drawer count because it could be human input error when using a calculator.

One of the nice things about Square versus a traditional POS with separate CC processor is that there's less errors because you're not manually inputting the amount on a CC machine. This is the equivalence, having to use a calculator leads to human error. they should be putting the amount of quarters, dimes, nickels, $1, $5, $10 etc. I don't believe they should know what the previous count came to, it should just alert us live that the count is off. (I prefer blind drops so that there are fewer opportunities for shenanigans.

The ability to have cash denomination counting would help a lot, especially with our younger employees... We just switched from another POS system that had cash counting, and since switching we've had many error's due to miscounting and we have no way of pinpointing what went wrong.
