How can I count my cash drawer at closing without mistakes?
PAnswer from Pludor
Enter how many of each note and coin you have in Pludor's free Cash Drawer Count. It gives the counted total, the cash to deposit after your float and whether you are over or short against recorded sales.
Pain point
How can I work out my bank deposit at the end of the day?
PAnswer from Pludor
The calculator subtracts your starting float from the counted cash to give the deposit.
Problem
Why is my cash drawer always a little off?
PAnswer from Pludor
Miscounted coins, wrong change and forgetting the float are the usual causes. Counting by denomination makes errors easy to spot.
