Treasury and register shifts: how every pound stays on its path

Cash is the hardest thing to follow in retail, because it passes through many hands during the day. The answer isn't trust alone but a clear shift system: the cashier opens a shift with a known starting cash, and every cash sale is linked to their drawer automatically.

At close, the cashier counts the drawer; the system works out the expected amount (starting cash + cash sales − any cash taken out), compares it with the count, and shows the difference. That difference isn't ignored: it is recorded and kept for the manager's review, so you know which shifts were short or over.

Handing the cash from the drawer to the treasury is recorded with a sender and a receiver, and counts as neither income nor expense — it is only money moving between two places. That way your income is never inflated by what are really internal transfers.

In a multi-branch shop you need a wider picture: each branch has its drawers and treasury, and money moves between them and to a main treasury through recorded transfers. Non-cash methods (card, InstaPay, wallet) each have a treasury their money goes to automatically, according to the routing you set.

The result: at the end of any day, you know how much is in every drawer and every treasury and why — not by guesswork, but from a record of cash movements whose numbers match.
