Cash Management is a core feature in daily restaurant operations and requires strong oversight to ensure accuracy and accountability.
Peblla provides built-in tools to help you track, manage, and reconcile cash efficiently.
This article walks you through all cash-related settings and procedures, so your team can stay organized, reduce errors, and maintain clear visibility into cash activity.
Step 1: Set up Cash Drawers
Peblla cash drawers are linked directly to POS stations. For each POS at your store, you must first determine whether:
A physical cash drawer is attached, or
Cash is carried and managed by servers
This setup ensures cash activity is tracked correctly at the station level.
