Step 2 in your End of day procedures is to Reconcile your drawer. When you Reconcile you are verifying the Count amounts and correcting any discrepancies. Often you might have a Cashier conduct the initial Count and Managers follow with Reconciling. This first Count is a blind count, i.e. expected cash amounts are not listed therefore this count is simply a total of all cash or checks in the drawer. Reconciliation provides much more drawer information. For each drawer you see cash Activation amount, any cash loan or drops are displayed and the amount EXPECTED in cash or checks for this drawer. Amount Expected is your starting cash amount (amount activated) plus any Sales that were tendered to Cash. Reconciliation is the confirmation of your tenders before Posting.
