How to reconcile your register every day
A good daily reconciliation prevents losses and arguments. These three habits make it fast and stress-free.
1. Open with counted cash
Each cashier opens a shift counting the starting cash. If two people share a drawer, each opens and closes their own shift.
2. Record expenses right away
If you pay something with drawer cash, record it as an expense on the shift. The expected cash then accounts for it.
3. Close by counting and review the difference
