How Gigoo Restaurant handles closing the till, the Z report and the books
Once every table is settled, the manager counts the cash and closes the till. The Z report adds the restaurant's figures, and the session goes into the books at once.
What Gigoo does for you
- A till closes only when every open table is settled: "Settle the open tables first: a till closes only when none is left."
- The Closing Register box shows, per payment method, the opening cash, the payments and the cash in and out, then what is expected.
- The Z report (Sales Details) adds a Restaurant block: guests at tables, orders and totals by order type, tips, items taken off and orders cancelled after the kitchen, and discounts above the limit with who approved them.
- Prices include VAT. Till sales go into the books and the VAT 201 return at closing. A cash difference is booked at once and does not stop the closing.
- No stock to manage: supplier bills go straight to Cost of Food, Cost of Beverages and Goods for resale.
What you do
- The Restaurant Manager or the Owner opens the menu (≡) and clicks Close Register.
- Type the counted cash in Cash Count. The money button lets you count by notes and coins.
- To print the day's figures first, click Daily Sale. Then click Close Register.
- During the day, the Restaurant Manager puts cash in or takes it out with Cash In/Out, with the amount and the reason.
Cash in and out
Change from the bank, or a petty-cash purchase: only a manager at the till, the Restaurant Manager or the Owner, moves cash in or out.
