Registers explained

Registers keep daily cash activity organized and easy to account for at every location. Start each day with your cash float recorded, then log cash in and out with notes and receipts for a clear record of every movement.

Add multiple registers to a location and switch between them as needed. Give each register a clear name so your team knows which one to use, for example, Trendy Studio Brooklyn might have registers named "Reception" and "Staff office".

Add a register

  1. From the main menu on the left of your screen, go to Sales and open Register.

  2. Click on the Add register button to create a new register.

    1. If you have multiple locations, select the location that the register will be assigned to.
  3. Add the register name, something descriptive such as “Reception” or “Front desk” so that you can identify at a glance.

  4. Tick the checkbox next to the advanced options below to enable them for this register:

    1. Require register to be opened to start taking sales
    2. Set minimum float
      1. Add minimum value and select when required from the dropdown menu.
    3. Allow midday counts
    4. Prompt if register was left open
    5. Automatically print report on register count
    6. Automatically email report on register count
      1. Tick the checkbox next to the team member that the email report is sent to.
  5. Click on the Continue button in the top right corner to save your changes.

Once saved, your register appears in the list as closed by default, ready for you to open and start logging activity.

If you have multiple registers, select which one to use when checking out an appointment. From your workspace calendar, click the register in the top toolbar and select where to record the cash payment.
