Every trading day on the till is a session: it opens with a float and closes with a cash up. In between, the till keeps track of every sale, refund and movement of cash, so the end of day count takes minutes.
Open the day
Count the cash in the drawer, enter it as the Opening float and open the till. Only one till session can be open at a time.
Record cash in and out
When cash leaves the drawer for something other than a refund, such as paying for milk or banking a stack of notes, record it with Paid out and a note. Use Paid in when you add cash, such as extra change. Without these, the drawer will not match at the end of the day.
Check takings during the day
Run an X report at any time. It shows the day so far without closing the till.
