Close a drawer in Genius for Retail

Closing the drawer counts the till and records the deposit. Do it at the end of each shift or day, per the site policy.

Steps

  1. Tap the hamburger menu at the top left.
  2. Select Close Drawer.
  3. Enter the counted amount for each denomination of bills and coins, plus any checks.
  4. Tap Confirm Count.
Entering the drawer count

Read the variance

The POS shows an overage or a shortage if there is one.

Overage or shortage

Record the deposit

  1. Based on the float amount configured for this station, the POS tells you how much to deposit.
  2. Enter the actual deposit amount.
  3. Tap Close Drawer.
  4. Confirm at the prompt, or go back if something looks wrong.
Deposit amount and Close Drawer

Once closed, the POS returns to the Open Drawer page ready for the next shift.

If the count is out

Do not adjust the count to make it balance. Enter what is actually there. The variance is the information. A drawer that always balances exactly is usually a drawer that is being fudged, and it hides the day something real goes wrong.
