Closing Out

Do this at the end of every AM and PM shift, before you leave. Tap a number above to jump to that step.

The next shift can't close until you submit yours. Screen doesn't match this? Stop and get a manager instead of guessing.

Enter your punch ID

Type your 4-digit number, then check the name that comes up is you.

Enter your punch ID

Pick AM or PM

Tap your shift and confirm today's date.

More detail

Always close AM first — PM can't finish until AM is submitted.

Check the hours

Hours split automatically at 4:00 PM. Hand-fix the list if something looks off.

grace to 4:30 4:00 PM split 12:00 PM 2:00 AM
clock in 2:00p → 2.00 hrs land on AM clock out 7:00p → 3.00 hrs land on PM
More detail

The split lands exactly at 4:00 PM even if you worked straight through it. Clock out within 30 minutes after, by 4:30, and the whole shift stays on AM.

You can hand-edit anyone's hours, or pull them from the pool entirely, say for a trainee.

Read the banner

Green means you're clear to close. Red spells out exactly what to fix.

More detail

If you can't fix it yourself, get a manager.

Claim stray tables

If your table paid late, it goes to the other shift — tap Claim to bring it back to you.

Tables paid after the divider
Table 14 · #H-1500 · Ava Fields
opened 3:25p · paid 4:10p
+$91.02Claim for AM
More detail

Only claim tables you actually worked. PM's own POS window then starts right after your claimed table's payment time rather than the usual 4:00 PM.

Sell an open table

Won't be there when a table closes? Sell it and collect your cut before you go.

Open tables you can sell
Table 22 · #K-1512 · Ava Fields
still open · $340.00 rung in · sells for 10%
+$34.00Sell table
AM pool
+$34.00
PM pool
−$34.00
More detail

The rate is 10% unless your store's changed it, printed right on the row. The price locks the moment you sell; a comp or delete cancels it and pays nothing.

Tap Unsell to undo a mistake, same day — but only until PM submits, since that locks it for good. The money comes from PM's pool and splits like every other tip; PM sees the table marked with your name on it, so nothing here is hidden.

Staying past your shift? Punch out and stay off the clock first — guests lingering shouldn't add hours to your shift. Selling the table pays you for that work without staying late.

Count the drawer

Subtract your $200 float and type in what's left.

How much cash was received?
142.00
More detail

Keep the float itself at $200 both at the start of your shift and the end — that's separate from this count. This is the one number the app can't check for you, so get it right.

Compare to the POS

Two numbers fill in on their own; sanity-check them against your count.

Tips owed out

$29.86 per weighted hour
More detail

If they're way off, recount before you submit. A typo here is the most common reason a shift bounces back.

Follow the envelope line

The app works out exactly what to do with the cash — just follow it.

Cash to submit · put in envelope
No cash to submit to house
$0.00 to distribute to staff
house adds $13.46 to complete tips owed out
More detail

It might say "put $X in the envelope" or "distribute $X to staff," and it changes shift to shift, so read whichever one you got.

Set who's closing

Confirm the Closing employee — it's usually you.

More detail

Required — the shift can't end without it. If someone else actually closed the floor, set it to them instead.

Submit

Once the banner's green, tap Submit; numbers lock the instant you do.

2 staff · pool $13.46 · ready to submitSubmit AM Cashout
More detail

Everything autosaves as you go, so a tablet lock or a distraction won't lose your count. Catch a mistake after you submit? Tell a manager instead of reopening it yourself.

If something's wrong

Stuck?

Numbers don't match

Recount the drawer once before assuming the app's wrong. Still off after that, get a manager.

Already submitted, found a mistake

Leave it alone. Tell a manager which shift, and what's wrong.

AM shift isn't closed

PM can't close until AM does. Track down whoever ran AM, or flag a manager.

More issues
Cash Received won't go below a number
That's the floor: it won't drop below what the POS says came in as cash. Recount, or call a manager.
Someone's over their share
Nobody can take home more than their calculated share. Bring their cash down and let the rest come from the envelope, or check the roster and hours split.
Staff are taking home more than was received
The roster's cash entries add up to more than you counted. Lower an entry, or recount the drawer.
Asked to confirm $0 in cash tips
Rare, and usually means the drawer wasn't actually counted. Confirm only if it's really right.
Not all cash was distributed
Put the stated amount in the envelope for a manager to hand out later.
A table won't show up to claim
Only your tables that paid late appear there. Missing entirely is a manager or POS question.
Fixing a submitted shift
Same day: resubmit it yourself, no manager needed. After the day rolls over: only a manager can unlock it — actually signed in, not just on the shared tablet — then it still needs Save Manager Edit to pay out the fix.
A past day says “never submitted”
Different from the one above, and it does not need a manager: nothing was ever locked in for that shift, so nobody on it has a payout. Pick the date, check the numbers, and submit it — a shift that was never submitted stays open for anyone to finish, however old it is.
Keypad shows up even though you're signed in
This device isn't actually signed in. Go to /login.html and sign in there.
Device registration missing or removed
Sign in with an account instead, or have a manager register the device.
Auphan report down
Tap Refresh, and escalate to a manager if it doesn't come back.
Numbers changed on an already-submitted shift
Informational, not an error: the shift already paid out and won't change on its own. If you think the paid amount is genuinely wrong, raise it with a manager.
