How to Clean a Drawer
- [ ] Select the drawer you want to clean from the list of drawer numbers. You’ll only want to clean “Dirty” drawers.
- [ ] Be sure that the drawer “Initial” and “Ending” cash amounts are correct. Initial cash is the amount of cash that the drawer had before it was used and ending is the amount you want to remain in the drawer once it’s clean and ready to be used.
- [ ] Enter the number of bills in the drawer for each denomination. For example, if there are 5 twenty dollar bills in the drawer enter the number 5 in the $20 field.
- [ ] Once all the denominations are counted, refer to the table on the right.\ The table includes the following information:
| Table Heading | Description |
|---|---|
| Drawer Initial Cash | The amount the drawer should've started the day with |
| Drawer Ending Cash | The amount the drawer should have remaining in it for the next use |
| Drawer Expected Total | The amount of cash that should've been collected for the day |
| Drawer Actual Total | The total amount of cash in the drawer according to your counts |
| Cash Over/Under | The variance between actual cash collected and cash tender total |
| Cash Tender Total | The total amount of cash that should've been collected for the day |
| Deposit Total | The total amount to be removed from the drawer and deposited, with the variance accounted for |
- [ ] Once you are sure all the counts are correct and you’ve recorded any necessary deposit information, click the “Clean” button under the table. \ After the drawer is cleaned, no changes can be made to the counts and the over/under amount is recorded in the over/under report.
