Payouts/Cash In/Cash Drop
Last updated September 2, 2025
There are many reasons you may need to remove or add cash from/to your drawer (outside of cash transactions). A few could be that you are paying a vendor, giving out petty cash for a store expense, doin a cash drop before closing time, sending someone to get change from the bank, adding cash to have a balanced drawer, etc.
In Drinks POS we have three different categories to do this, and you can access them all by clicking the "Payout" button on the red hot keys section of your sale screen:
This will open a pop-up window with three options:
Just select the one you need and complete the cash form (number of coins, number of bills):
Once the information is entered, just click "Submit" and a receipt will print.
Pro Tips:
You can print your counts without hitting submit using the "Print Counts" button.
You can open the drawer from this screen to be able to count the money using the drawer icon button above "Submit Payout."
Use the "Notes" section to specify what the transaction is for.
Payout vs Cash in vs Cash Drop
- A Payout is for money coming out of your cash drawer. Usually being paid to someone for a service provided to the store or purchased merchandise (technician, plumber, vendor, etc)
- A Cash In is for money coming into your cash drawer. Usually money being retuned (if someone went to get change, for instance), cash needed to set the drawer at the start of the day, etc
- A Cash Drop is for money leaving your drawer to a permanent place (the bank, your safe, etc). Usually when you want to make sure the register does not have too much cash at one time.
