Understanding the Cash Drawer report in Mews POS

When you enable the shift management option in the Mews POS App, you can view cash drawer details for every shift for each outlet. When you access the report, you use cash drawer reports to get details on when or who opened the cash drawer, the amount of cash in the register, the amount of cash sales, and the times staff open or close the register. You can use this information for reporting and staff management purposes.

 

Note: Only users with ‘Can view reports’ permissions can view and download the report. You can review user roles in Settings > Roles.
