Cash register settings

Before you start using Kassatellen.nl, it is important that you check the settings of your cash register system. In this article I will talk about the most important points that you will have to check before you can start working with our system. You can adjust these matters at Settings > Setting up a cash register.

The starting cash

The starting cash can be filled in every day, or not. It is up to you to decide if you want to do it every day or not. Is the cash statement made by the same person every day? If so, it is not mandatory to mention the starting cash every day. This way you can be sure that the starting cash will be the same amount as you have finished the day before. Do you want that the cash is being counted every morning? For example, because different employees are responsible for the cash. If that is the case, then you can indicate that the starting cash has to be filled in every day. You can find and manage this setting under General.

Paid from the cash register

It is possible that your employees will use cash from the cash register to buy small things, for example, when the chef needs something. How you record these costs in the cash book depends on how you want to see them reflected in the accounting. Consult this always with your accountant.

Cost center

Did you categorize your turnover in different cost centers in your accounting? For example, distinction for your bar, restaurant and lobby? If that is the case, then you can apply this to your cost centers in Kassatellen.nl as well. What you have to do is, you first indicate that you want to use cost centers, you can do this under General. After this you set up a cash register per cost center under Manage cash registers. Now you can register the turnover per cash register and send this to the different cost centers in your accounting.

Turnover

It is a choice whether you want to specify the turnover by category, for example kitchen, beer, wine, lemonade, etc. But it is always recommended to create at least two different turnover groups, namely one for sales with 21% VAT and one for sales with 6% VAT. You can create the different turnover groups under Turnovers. You have to create at least one category at Kassatellen.nl to be able to use the system.

Payment Method

Kassatellen.nl has three different standard payment methods, but you can change it to anything you wish. It is important that you think about how you want your customers to pay their bill. Those are the payment methods that you have to specify in Kassatellen.nl. Are you using the same terminal for card and credit card and does all of the turnover show under one category? Then you can think about not specifying card and credit card turnover in Kassatellen.nl as well.
