Daily Takings and Cash-Up Sheet
Till to bank, one day at a time: card to the settlement, cash counted against expected, and any variance investigated while the shift can still explain it.

Who this workbook is for
Anyone who reconciles cash weekly, or hopes monthly
Card losses are rare and traceable; cash losses are neither, and they hide in the gap between the till reading and what was counted. The sheet computes expected cash automatically, till less card less petty cash, so the variance is a fact by close, not a mystery by month end. A tenner missing on Saturday shows up on Saturday.
Anyone whose card tips ride the same settlement
Card tips arrive in the same batch as takings and are not takings: the sheet splits them out on the way through, so the sales line stays honest and the tips flow to the tronc records where the law expects them. It is the small daily habit that keeps the monthly tronc reconciliation to the penny.
Anyone who wants the habit, not just the sheet
The rule printed on it: investigate any daily variance over a fiver the same night, and initial the row. The habit is the control, because a week-old variance has no suspects. Seven signed days roll up into the banking line and feed the Weekly Close, which is where the five Monday numbers come from.
