The Till Settlement & Cash Management SOP — 10-Step End-of-Night Reconciliation System

Every venue loses money at the end of the night through poor cash handling, missed reconciliation steps and EFTPOS errors. This professional till settlement system eliminates all of that.

Developed and used across real licensed venues, this 10-step SOP takes a manager through the entire end-of-night cash process from balancing the first till to shutting down the POS — with nothing left to chance.
