Cash Registers

Set up and manage cash registers with default floats, maximum thresholds, and cashier assignments.

A cash register in Eleo represents a physical cash drawer at your store. Each register has its own configuration for opening float, maximum cash threshold, and can be assigned to a specific cashier. Registers are the foundation of the cash management workflow — shifts are opened against a register, and all transactions flow through it.

Register settings

Each cash register has the following configurable properties:

• Name — A recognizable label for the drawer (e.g. “Front Counter”, “Drive-Through 1”).
• Default opening float — The amount of cash that should be in the drawer when a shift starts. This is used as the suggested value when a cashier opens a new shift.
• Maximum cash threshold — When the drawer exceeds this amount, Eleo triggers a safe-drop reminder. This helps minimize the cash at risk in the drawer.
• Assigned cashier — Optionally lock a register to a specific team member. When assigned, only that person can open shifts on this register.
• Status — Registers can be marked as Active, Idle, or Under Maintenance. Only active registers can have shifts opened against them.

Adding a register

1. 1

   Navigate to Cash & Tills → Registers

   Open the sidebar and click Cash Management, then select Registers. You will see a grid of all existing registers with their current status.

2. 2

   Click “Add Register”

   Click the Add Register button in the top-right corner to open the register creation form.

3. 3

   Fill in register details

   Enter a name, set the default opening float amount, and configure the maximum cash threshold. Optionally assign the register to a team member.

4. 4

   Save

   Click Save to create the register. It will appear on the dashboard in an idle state until a shift is opened against it.

Register status

The register grid on the Cash Dashboard uses colour coding so you can see the state of every drawer at a glance:

• Green — Active. A shift is currently open and the register is operating normally.
• Yellow — Idle. No shift is open but the register is available.
• Red — Alert. There is an active alert on this register, such as a variance threshold exceeded or an overdue safe drop.
• Grey — Maintenance. The register has been taken offline and cannot accept shifts.
