What this sheet is for
See at a glance which departments carried the day and which did not, in a form you can lay side by side week after week.
Who it is for
Managers and owners of independent shops and branches whose till reports by department or key, and anyone keeping a paper day-book alongside the till.
How to use it
- Fill in the date, day and anything about the weather or local events that shaped trade.
- Copy each department's gross, refunds, net and transaction count from the end-of-day report.
- If you work to a target, write it in and note over or under; otherwise leave those columns blank.
- Fill the whole-shop block and the tender split at the bottom, and sign it off.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One day's takings broken down by department, read off the till at close — sales, refunds, net and transaction count for each, and the shop as a whole at the bottom.
Your target, if you have one. No targets are printed here. If you work to a budget or a like-for-like figure, write yours in the Your target column and the sheet shows how the day stood against it; if you do not, leave it blank and the sheet is still the day's record.

Questions
Why is there no target or margin on the sheet?
Because those are yours. A target is set by you or your head office, and margin depends on what you buy at; printing either would be a made-up number. The Your target column is there for your figure, if you have one.
How is this different from the takings and cash reconciliation sheet?
That sheet balances the money in the drawer against the till. This one is about what sold, by department, and does not touch the float.
