Cashiers record all cash transactions in Mews Operations, including internal transactions and bill payments. You must assign at least one cashier to every employee who accepts cash at your property. 

 

Note: If you do not assign a user to a cashier: 

• Mews does not record the cash payments they post to guests’ bills. 
• The cashier becomes unbalanced. 

 

There are two ways you can set up cashier responsibility at your property: 

• Create a cashier for each individual employee’s user account. For example, name it Sarah's cashier and assign only Sarah's user account. In this case, each employee manages a specific sum of money and is responsible for counting and closing their own cashier at the end of the shift. 
• Create a cashier for a department. For example, name it Reception cashier and assign every team member to it. This option is less secure and suits properties where only one person works per shift.
