The first button within the dispatcher screen is the “Main Menu” button, which will return you to the main menu. Next one is the “Timekeeping” button, followed by the “Toggle View” and “Till Functions”. This button will open a whole new menu with all available till options. This includes awarding and collecting float, adding paid in/out, decreasing or increasing the till, awarding credit to a customer, leaving a note to a customer’s profile and on top there is a back to Dispatcher menu button. NOTE: All buttons under the till functions menu, could be set with different security access level, so that not all employees have access to them!


1. Award Float:

The first button under the till functions is “Award Float”. In order to be able to use it, there must be a clocked in driver, otherwise you will see a message, that you first should select a driver. Another requirement is to have money (cash) added to the system store float. This can be done from Supervisor menu -> Store Float. Usually, the store float is added in the morning, right before the store open, by counting the money in the till and typing the exact number of each bill. Once, there is a clocked in driver and added float, you can use the award float button. From the new window, you will see the selected driver name, below it, you need to enter the amount in £ that you would like to award and then press “Award” button. Also, from here you can download our driver tracking app – Deliver Plus. Please reach out to our Helpdesk Team, if you are interested. 


2. Collect Float:

The second button under the till functions is “Collect Float”. In order to be able to use it, again you need to have a clocked in driver and it should have finished at least one delivery order, from which the float has stayed with the driver, instead of being directly cashed off to the cashier. Once, you select a driver and press the collect float button, you will see a new window with several option. On top you will see the driver’s name, below it, is the available float value in £ and below that is the field, where you should type the amount, you would like to collect from the driver.

Beneath that are additional details like how many drops (deliveries) has the driver finished, what is the driver commission (should be pre-set) and what is the average time to deliver an order. If the total amount of the driver’s float is inputted in the “Value to Collect”, then the “Clock out” option will become available, so can collect the float and clock out the driver at the same time. You can also, tick to open the Pay Outs, right after you close the collect float window, so you can enter them straight away. Last, but not least, you can check several different driver reports – like the “Driver Cash Report”, the “Commission Report”, or the “Coupon Report”. Once all details are double checked, press “Collect” button to finish the procedure. NOTE: You could request, that a manager password is required every time, you try to collect driver’s float!

From this new window, you need to select the correct category, then enter the amount in £. You can choose if you would like to reclaim VAT on this pay in/out. You should also, enter a reason for the pay in/out under the “Reason” field (NOTE: You won’t be able to complete the pay in/out without a reason!).
