Complete The Clerk Reconciliation
The Clerk Reconciliation is a routine completed by each individual cashier. This routine permits the cashier to count all money received during the day, for both breakfast and lunch periods, and balance their cash drawer.
The cashier should know exactly how much money is in their cash drawer prior to beginning the point of sale actions. This initial money is called by most "the bank". We use the term "beginning cash". If beginning cash amount is not known the cash drawer may not be able to be balanced properly. It is suggested that the beginning cash be counted each morning before starting to record meals and take money.
This routine is constructed so that the cashier is able to count money quickly. The entries in the individual money denominations require only the indication of how many of each money unit is in the cash drawer. It is typical for the cashier to count all the money in the cash drawer at the end of the day including the beginning cash.
There are several purposes for completing this routine. These include recording an accurate accounting of the cash received, determining the amount over or short and producing the amount of the cashier's deposit.
The left hand side of this routine is where the cashier enters the amounts of money in the cash drawer. The right hand side of this reconciliation screen is completed by the system from the information recorded during the point of sale activities. The result of the systems comparison of the amounts entered after the meal services and the amounts recorded during the services, the cash over and short and the deposit numbers are produced.
The clerk reconciliation is an important routine and must be completed each day after all meal serving activities are completed.
