# Opening and closing the register

> Open the register with a float, and count up and close it at the end of the day.

https://docs.seascape.bz/point-of-sale/open-and-close-the-register

Start the day with **Point of Sale** → **Open Register**. Count the starting float by note and coin, and press **Open Register**.

During the day, use **In/Out** for petty cash, change runs and bank drops.

To end the day, press **Close** and count three piles: **Float · BZD**, **Takings · BZD** and **Takings · USD**. You count without seeing the expected total. Add notes, press **Close & Generate Report**, then print the end-of-day report, which shows any difference.

The register is shared by the whole shop, not one per person. A second person at the till carries on in the drawer that is already open. Past days are under **Register History**.
