Start a Drawer

Before you can use POS you must start a drawer. DataTrak saves the drawer to the employee who starts it, thus allowing you to keep track of who is responsible for the drawer. This also keeps track of starting amounts for all payment methods such as cash, credit cards, and gift cards.

To start a drawer

  1. Point to the main Menu.
  2. In the Point of Sale submenu, click POS.
  3. On the Start Drawer dialog box, do one of the following:
  • To use the information from an existing drawer, click Load Existing Drawer.
  • To start a new drawer, enter the Starting Amount for each payment method listed.
  1. Click OK.

The drawer is open and you are ready to use POS.

To find information about an open drawer, see the Drawer Summary.
