How Does the Cash Register Work in Jarbas?
Keeping track of your cash register is essential for small business owners. It helps you monitor the money that comes in and goes out, reduces mistakes, and gives you peace of mind when closing the day. With Jarbas’ Cash Register feature, you can manage your daily sales flow easily and clearly.
Opening the Cash Register
On the home screen, tap Cash Register and enter your starting amount.
In this
example, we’re opening the register with R$100.00 in cash.
Then tap Save.
Done! Your
register is now open.
Now you can
go ahead with your regular sales.
When it’s time to close the register, you’ll see a full summary of all cash
activity throughout the day.
Adding Cash or Making Withdrawals
By tapping the + button at the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a dedicated section just for Cash Register actions.
Here, you can:
- Add a cash injection (if you need to put more money in),
- Or register a withdrawal
(if you take money out during the day).
⚠️ Heads-up: These actions only
affect your cash register totals — they won’t update your Financial section
automatically.
Example:
If you take out cash to pay a bill, you should:
- Record that withdrawal in the Cash Register, so the balance matches when you close;
- Then go to Finance and
log the bill payment, so your expense records stay complete.
Closing the Cash Register
At the end
of your shift or day, just tap Close Register.
You’ll get a clear breakdown of everything that came in and went out.
Important: “Require open cash register” option
If you notice that some sales or payments didn’t show up in the cash register, it may be because the register wasn’t open at the time. To prevent this, Jarbas offers the Require open cash register setting.
When this option is enabled, whenever you try to record a financial transaction (such as orders or payments) and the cash register is not open, the system will prompt you to open it before continuing. This helps ensure that all transactions are properly recorded in the cash register.
How to enable it
From the home screen, go to Settings
Tap Payment Options
Turn on Require open cash register
Cash Register Mode
- By device (default): each device has its own open cash register.
- By user: the cash register is linked to the logged-in person, not the device—they can switch phones/tablets and continue using the same cash register.
To adjust this setting, go to Settings / Payment options / Cash register mode.
