THE ESQUIRE TAVERN Cash Handling

Policy & Procedures - Hourly

Follow the cash handling procedures below to eliminate unnecessary loss. The following policies and procedures provide
internal controls to maintain accountability and are important to our internal processes.

Cash Handling Procedures:

• All cash drawer operators are required to assume full responsibility of the cash drawer they were assigned. Do this by
verifying the money in the drawer against the initialed, dated receipt in the drawer.
• Change from the cash drawer will only be made or given by the employee whom the drawer is assigned to. No one else
should touch the money.
• Counter and Take Out employees: upon checkout, all cash drawers must be given to a manager with an accurate, dated, and
initialed adding machine paper that verifies the total of the drawer and each denomination.
• Only one check out at a time is allowed in the office, please be respectful about this and don’t pressure the MOD to
complete multiple checkouts.
• You do not need to repay money lost during a shift, including money lost due to walkouts. All cash shortages will be
documented as a cash handling violation of company policy.
• Any cash discrepancies or shortages must be brought to the MOD’s attention immediately; otherwise, you (the employee)
may be subject for disciplinary action up to and including termination.
• All voids and adjustments must be brought to the MOD’s immediate attention to ensure prompt correction.
• In the event of a robbery, THE ESQUIRE TAVERN money and/or assets will be given up without a struggle and/or
argument.
• Failure to follow cash handling procedures and failing to secure THE ESQUIRE TAVERN’s assets, including but not limited
to credit card receipts, gift cards, gift certificates, checks, etc. may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including
immediate termination.
• Secure your Aloha Mag card at all times to avoid loss of the card or the opportunity for someone else to access your cash
drawer. Failure to secure your card may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

The following are examples of cash handling policy violations, but not limited to:
• Failure to follow proper cash handling procedures, failure to present a check to each and every guest, shortages of THE
ESQUIRE TAVERN’s cash funds, inappropriate use of company funds for personal gain, petty cash/cash theft or fraud,

payment.

any credit card transaction, failing to get manager’s prior approval for any credit cards that must be manually entered, credit
card fraud, double swipe or manual entry of a credit card for fraudulent purposes, or converting cash sales into credit card or
gift card sales.
• Fraud, theft, misappropriation or manipulation of funds, including, but not limited to, sales, contest, inventory ma- nipulation
and padding, selling company property for personal gain, time card fraud, Void, Comp and Discount abuse, or re-opening
