How to run the Nightly Closeout
● Ready
Closeout is two steps — the Cash Drawer and the Tip-Out. You must finish both before you can save.
- From the Hub, open Closeout. The date fills in automatically. Enter the opener and closer.
- ① CASH DRAWER — count the drawer: enter how many of each bill & coin (1¢ → $100). The Total counted adds up automatically.
- The bank is locked at $300. If your count isn't $300, the Over (+) / Short (−) shows automatically (green = over, red = short, "EVEN" = perfect). Enter the cash drop (deposit), and a note if it's off.
- ② TIP-OUT — tap the Tip-Out tab. Enter CC tips and cash tips, then each FOH person + hours, and the kitchen names (kitchen splits the 10% evenly).
- Set each person Paid cash or Owed (cash short? tap All owed, then switch anyone you paid). Tap CALCULATE.
- The red Owed list is exactly who the owner pays by Zelle/Venmo.
- Tap Save tonight. It won't save until both steps are done — it'll tell you what's missing. Once saved, it's logged. No photos, no paper.
Golden rules: the bank is always $300 · count, don't guess · never do tip math by hand.
