Close the shift
Close Shift stops all payment-related transactions on the POS. You can still place takeout and delivery orders on a POS terminal that’s already closed shift, however, you won’t be able to process any payments unless you open a new shift.
Note: You can only close a shift if there’s a shift open. Otherwise, Close Shift won’t appear on the POS.
To close the shift, follow the steps below:
- Log in to the Eats365 POS.
- At the top left, tap Settings
. - Under Business Operations, tap Close Shift.
- Enter the amount inside the cash drawer.
- Tap Close Shift.
Print the Shift Report
After closing the shift, you can then print a Shift Report. A Shift Report shows a summary of total sales at the end of a shift. When you close a shift, you are immediately redirected to the Shift Report page. But, you can also view the Shift Report anytime on the POS.
To review and print your Shift Report, follow the steps below:

Perform End of Day
The End of Day signals the end of service for the day. Once the End of Day has been performed, you won’t be able to process any more transactions for the day. You only need to perform the End of Day once on any available POS terminal in the restaurant.
Important:
- Make sure to close all open shifts in your restaurant. If there are multiple POS set up, you need to check that all shifts have been closed on each POS terminal. Otherwise, you won’t be able to perform the End of Day.
- If there are any unpaid bills upon performing the End of Day, the POS voids all open checks. A pop-up notification appears to confirm if you want to void all open checks before continuing with End of Day.
To perform End of Day, follow the steps below:
- Log in to the Eats365 POS.
- At the top left, tap Settings .
- Under Business Operations, tap End Day.
If there are shifts that are still open, a prompt appears to close the shift first. You won’t be able to proceed with End of Day until all shifts are closed. Once End of Day has been performed, the screen redirects to the Daily Closing Report page.
Print the Daily Closing Report
The Daily Closing Report shows a summary of all sales and transactions done for the day and the number of dine-in customers that visited the restaurant. When you perform the End of Day, you are immediately redirected to the Daily Closing Report page. But, you can also view the Daily Closing Report anytime on the POS.
