POS operations guide
Day closing is where many billing mistakes become visible. A disciplined closing checklist helps the owner catch cash variance, unpaid bills, refund issues, stock movements and missing backups before the next day starts.
This checklist helps retail shops, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, salons, bakeries, bars, supermarkets and service counters.
Close open bills, count cash, compare payment modes, review refunds and voids, check high-risk stock changes, confirm backup, print or export reports and sign off the shift.
Decide who can close the day, whether each cashier closes separately, what variance is acceptable, who receives reports and how unresolved differences are documented.
Daily closing should include gross sales, net sales, tax summary, payment modes, discounts, refunds, voids, open bills, stock adjustment and backup status.
