Cash control
How do you keep track of cash sales?
Cash sales require intentional tracking because there’s no automatic record.
A common, reliable system
Most vendors use a simple routine:
- Start each event with a known amount of cash for change.
- Record cash sales during the event or track totals.
- Count cash at the end and subtract the starting amount.
Best practices
- Keep cash sales logged separately from card sales.
- Deposit cash into your business account regularly.
- Avoid spending cash before it’s recorded.
A repeatable routine matters more than the exact method.
