A daily opening procedure for cashiers and shift managers preparing the cash register and payment systems for service. Covers the cash float count and verification, drawer denomination setup, POS system login and configuration, card terminal testing, receipt printer loading, price and menu verification, and the initial system checks that prevent payment issues during service.

Cash handling errors are easier to prevent than to investigate. A verified opening float, a tested card terminal, and correctly loaded receipt paper eliminate the most common cashier frustrations and ensure accurate reconciliation at closing.
