Select Today's Date

Make sure the date filter is set to Today (or the day you want to close).

Tap Summary to see the aggregated data for the day:

  • Total revenue by payment method

  • Cash drawer balance

  • Tax breakdown

  • Order type totals

Generate Z-Report

Tap the Z-Report button in the summary view.

Confirm Register Closure

If generating for today, confirm that you want to close the register. This action cannot be undone.
