Question

  • How do I make sure servers put their cash in the cash drawer?
  • How do I cancel virtual cash drawers?

Answer

To ensure that the cash drawer opens every time a server receives a cash payment from a guest, you must configure the settings on your device:

 

  1. On the main menu of the Toast app on your POS device, navigate to Device Setup.
  2. Select Open cash drawer.
  3. Select the Automatically open cash drawer when a cash payment is made option.

 

Employees will immediately deposit guest cash payments. This option will also assign all cash payments to the drawer selected for that device.
