Cash-up · till shifts · floats
End-of-shift cash-up without the calculator
Each tiller opens their till with a float and closes it by counting the drawer. WStation already knows every sale and pay-out on that shift, so it tells you what should be there and whether the drawer is over or short — and writes it down for good.

Every sale has a name
Each tax invoice records who took it and on which shift. No more "it wasn't me".
Closed means closed
A closed shift keeps its totals and its over/short for good — the record can't be quietly changed.
Managers approve, tillers ask
A tiller never edits a sale. They ask to fix it or cancel it, and a manager approves.
How it works
One stay, four names, zero retyping
Every guest is one record that changes its name as they go: asked for a price, said yes, stayed, paid. Each step is one press of a button.
- QuotationThey ask what it costs. Rooms, nights, guests and a deposit, priced in a minute.
- BookingThey say yes. One click, and the room is theirs on the calendar — nobody else can have it.
- InvoiceThey check out. The bill is raised from what was quoted, nothing typed twice.
- Tax invoiceThey pay. Part or all, by cash, card or transfer — the receipt is written and it is in the books.
Done right
A float is not income
The money in the drawer at the start of a shift was already yours. WStation records a float as a transfer, not a sale, so it never inflates your takings.
- Floats — moved from your cash on hand into the till — no income created
- Opening balances — existing cash and bank brought forward when you start with WStation
- Pay-outs — cash expenses recorded against the shift that paid them
- Over/short — the difference between expected and counted, kept with the shift
- Every sale signed — each tax invoice records who took it and on which shift

Questions
Asked before signing up
Can I run more than one till?
Yes — say a bar till and a shop till. Each tiller is assigned to a till, and each shift is counted on its own.
How do I invite tillers?
From Team: type their Google email, pick Tiller, and send the link by email or WhatsApp. They join with their Google account.
Can a tiller see my income?
Only if you switch it on. By default a tiller sees the till and the front desk, nothing else.
