What is the proper. Losing procedures for Aloha? I'm used to this process:
-Servers run checkouts
-Bartender looks at Slip and either server owes money to bar, or bar owes money to server
-When all server checkouts are processed, manager runs bar checkout and then either the house owes the bar money, or the bar owes the house money.
- sales report is printed, giving a deposit number. This is used in determining what the house is over or short.
Is this the general checkout procedure for closing? Are there other methods?
The reason I'd like to know, is because I recently took over a restaurant who does not use this system at all...nothing is run through the bar, everything is taken to a mananger who has a money bag, who then looks at the checkout and either gives or gets money, no sales report printed, not deposit number used, etc. any insight is appreciated.
