Sessions

Monitor POS cashier sessions, expected vs actual takings, and close open shifts from Office.

In FoodEase Office: Open this page

Sessions tracks when a staff member logs in and starts their shift on the Point of Sale (POS). Each session records expected payment totals from POS activity and lets managers enter actual cash, card, and other payment counts when the shift ends.

Who can use this page?

You need the View Sessions permission (CAN_VIEW_SESSIONS).

How to open Sessions

  1. Log in to FoodEase Office.
  2. In the sidebar, click Sessions.

Close an open session

Only Open sessions show an Edit action.

  1. In the session row, open Actions and click Edit.
  2. In the session modal, enter actual counts for each payment type:
    • Cash
    • Card
    • Transfer
    • Third party
    • ChowDeck (if used)
  3. Confirm to close the session.

FoodEase compares actual totals to the expected values from POS. On success you see Session Closed Successfully and the session status changes to Closed.

Tip: Reconcile sessions daily. Large gaps between expected and actual totals often point to missing payments, wrong tender types, or checks still open on POS.
