Cash drawer is a few euros off every night.
Small differences are normal: change errors, untracked tips, cash refunds. Above a set threshold (e.g. EUR 10 on EUR 1,000) it is structural and needs digging.
Try this first
- 1Always count the drawer by the same person, out of customer sight.
- 2Compare against the Z report, not from memory.
- 3Set a threshold: what counts as outside normal needs action.
- 4Log cash variances to spot patterns per employee.
