### **How to get there**

From your dashboard, follow this path:

**NeroPOS → POS Settings → Control**

### **Till control and reconciliation settings**

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Enable end-of-day reconciliation / till close** | When on, NeroPOS requires an open till session before use and lets managers close the till with counted cash at the end of the day |
| **Lock the day after Z close** | Optional manager control for stricter restaurants — locks the day once the Z Report has been run |
| **Require manager note when there is a discrepancy** | When on, a note is required if the counted cash does not match the expected total — useful where more than one person handles cash |

### **Dashboard and opening float settings**

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Show NeroPOS Dashboard** | Adds a dedicated dashboard for open tables, pending orders, daily sales, and weekly performance |
| **Default opening cash float** | The default amount pre-filled when opening the till — for example, £500.00 |

> 💡 **Tip:** Set your opening float to the amount you typically put in the till at the start of each day. This makes reconciliation faster and more accurate at close.

### **How till control works on the EPOS**

Once **Enable end-of-day reconciliation** is turned on, your staff will see an **Open Till** prompt when they log in to the EPOS for the first time each day.

**Opening the till:**

- Staff log in to the POS using the POS login link 
- A prompt appears: **"Open till to continue"** 
- Click **Open Till** to start the session — the EPOS is now ready to use

**Accessing Till Control during the day:**

Click the **Till Control** icon in the top-right corner of the EPOS screen at any time to open the till summary panel. This shows:

- Current sales totals — Gross sales, Net sales, VAT, Service fee, Tips, Discounts, Refunds 
- NeroWeb orders total 
- Fees and tips 
- Open orders count 
- Open tables and their status

From here you can also:

- Enter **Counted cash in drawer** — the physical cash currently in the till 
- Enter **External card terminal total** — if a third-party card terminal was used 
- Add a **Manager note** — for cash differences, open tables, refunds, or shift handover

**Closing the till:**

At the end of the day:

- Open **Till Control** from the EPOS screen 
- Count the cash in the drawer and enter it in **Counted cash in drawer** 
- Add any external card terminal total if applicable 
- Add a manager note if required 
- Choose one of the following actions:

| Action | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Close Till** | Closes the till session and saves the reconciliation |
| **Print Summary** | Prints a summary of the session |
| **X Report** | Generates a mid-session snapshot without closing the till |
| **Z Report** | Generates the end-of-day report and officially closes the trading day |

> ⚠️ **Important:** Run the Z Report only when all transactions for the day are complete. If **Lock the day after Z close** is enabled, no further orders can be added once the Z Report is saved.

### **Frequently asked questions**

**Q: What happens if staff try to use the EPOS without opening the till?** A: They will see an "Open till to continue" prompt and will not be able to take orders until the till is opened.

**Q: Can I set a different opening float each day?** A: Yes. The Default opening cash float in POS Settings is the pre-filled amount, but staff can adjust it when opening the till each day.

**Q: What is the difference between X Report and Z Report from Till Control?** A: The X Report is a mid-session snapshot — it shows current totals without closing anything. The Z Report is the end-of-day report that officially closes the trading day.

**Q: Do I need to enable till control if I only take card payments?** A: Till control is most useful for businesses handling cash. If you only accept card payments, you may not need it — but it can still be useful for tracking open orders and daily performance.

**Q: Can till control be enabled for some registers but not others?** A: Till control applies at the account level when enabled in POS Settings. Contact support if you need more granular control per register.
