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
