Cash rounding

Round cash totals to the smallest note or coin you actually carry.

1 min read

Some currencies have no small change — in Iraq, for example, the smallest note in common use is 250 IQD. Cash rounding nudges a cash total to the nearest note you can actually give as change, so the drawer always balances.

How it works

  • You set the smallest denomination you carry (e.g. 250).
  • When a guest pays in CASH, the total rounds to the nearest multiple of that amount.
  • A bill of 20,300 rounds down to 20,250; 20,400 rounds up to 20,500.
  • Card and other payments are never rounded — they always take the exact amount.

Turn it on

  1. 1Open POS › Settings and the Cash & checks tab.
  2. 2Switch on Round cash payments and enter your Smallest cash denomination — the example underneath shows what a bill becomes in cash.
  3. 3Press Save. It's off by default and applies restaurant-wide, so nothing changes until you choose to use it.
TipThe rounding is recorded on each order, so your reports always reconcile to the cash you actually took — not the pre-rounding figure.
