How to start and end a shift

A shift is a work period, usually a day, from opening to closing the till. It collects all orders, cancellations, and settlements. End it at the end of the workday; otherwise, the Z-report will summarize several days.

Start shift

If no shift is active, the overview displays the Start Shift button. Tapping this button opens the table plan, and all subsequent actions will be part of the new shift. No separate authorization is required.

Confirm the security prompt “End shift?” with Yes.

What happens next depends on your settings: If the cash book is active, a cash count usually follows. The Z-report is saved for shifts with settlements, but is only printed if you have configured this in the web desk.

Cash counting and cash withdrawal are described in separate articles in the manual.
