## End-of-Day Cash Reconciliation Sheet

URL: https://minimalpos.com/tools/end-of-day-cash-sheet

Count each denomination, enter your opening float and what the till says you should have taken in cash, and this works out the variance. A drawer that is short every Friday is telling you something — but only if you write it down consistently.

### Features

- Count by denomination with running totals
- Opening float deducted automatically
- Over / short variance against expected takings
- Non-cash payment lines for a full daily picture
- Print-ready sheet for the closing manager to sign

### How it relates to MinimalPOS

The expected figure has to come from somewhere reliable. MinimalPOS reports cash takings separately from card and QR payments for any shift, so the number you reconcile against is the number the till actually recorded.

**How do you reconcile a cash drawer?** Count every denomination to get the total in the drawer, subtract the opening float to get cash taken, then compare that against what the POS says you took in cash. The difference is your over or short.

**What causes a till to be short?** Usually wrong change given during a rush, a missed void, a refund not recorded, or a sale rung to the wrong payment type. Persistent shortages on the same shift or the same person are worth investigating; occasional small variances are normal.

**What variance is acceptable?** Most venues set a tolerance and investigate anything beyond it. Set one, apply it consistently, and record every count — the pattern over weeks is far more informative than any single night.

**Should the person who worked the till count it?** Common practice is for a second person, usually the closing manager, to verify the count and sign it. That is why this sheet prints with a signature line.
