Confirm to close the shift. TillBiz calculates your cash variance and locks the shift.

How reconciliation works

TillBiz works out what should be in the drawer and compares it to your count:
Expected cash = Opening cash + Cash sales − Expenses − Cash-outs + Cash-ins
Cash variance = Closing cash − Expected cash
  • A positive variance means there’s more cash than expected (an overage).
  • A negative variance means there’s less than expected (a shortage).
A non-zero variance isn’t always theft — it’s often miscounted change or a movement that wasn’t recorded. Investigate large or repeated variances, and record cash movements during the shift to keep them small.

Shift summary

A closed shift keeps a full record: total sales by payment method, expenses, cash movements, and the final variance. Owners and managers can review past shifts and dig into them in Staff performance reports.
